SIM packs at the seafarer centre
Keep SIM packs at the desk, fill a visit bag by the next region of each ship, and send eSIM by email.
Short answer: A centre that sells data plans its stock by the ships due, sells packs at the desk and on ship visits after a phone check, and sends eSIM by email to phones that support it.

Before you choose
Short answers to the common questions. The partner agreement sets the final terms.
Which packs should the centre keep?
Packs for the port country, for shore leave, and regional packs for the next ports of the ships due. The centre sets the number.
Can a ship visitor sell on board?
Yes, where the ship and the port allow ship visits. The visitor checks the phone before the sale.
What if the phone has no SIM slot?
Sell an eSIM at the desk. The crew member gets the one-time code by email and installs it on the centre Wi-Fi.
Does the plan work at sea?
No. The plan works ashore and in port. At sea, the crew uses the ship Wi-Fi.
