Internet at Sea

How SIM Cards Are Changing Offshore Connectivity

If you’ve ever tried to stay connected while offshore, you know the struggle. Spotty coverage, sky-high satellite bills, complicated hardware setups – it doesn’t have to be that way. That’s where DRYNET SIM (M2SEA) steps in.

Our maritime SIM cards are built to keep you online at sea, whether you’re sailing near the coast or working deep in the North Sea. With 4G/5G coverage in over 50 countries and full data availability across the North Sea thanks to our partnership with Tampnet, we make sure your connection stays strong – no matter where your journey takes you. Plans start at just €1.68 per GB*, and whether you’re a solo skipper or managing an entire fleet, there’s a setup that fits.

Internet at Sea: Why Reliable Connectivity Is No Longer Optional

Modern ships are floating offices. Whether it’s navigation systems, crew communication, engine diagnostics or simply letting your team check in with family: Connectivity is now part of daily operations. Add to that digital logs, compliance tools and live tracking, and it’s easy to see why “internet at sea” is more than a nice-to-have #Crewwellfare.

Reliable internet access also means better crew morale and safety. From sending maintenance updates to accessing weather reports in real time, being online is part of working smart offshore.

Why SIM-Based Internet at Sea Is a Game Changer

Compared to satellite internet, mobile SIM-based solutions are simpler, faster to deploy and often much cheaper. Instead of bulky hardware and fixed installation points, you just insert a SIM into a router or device and go.

SIM cards also allow you to choose data volumes that match your actual usage. No need to overpay for capacity you won’t use. Plus, if your route changes, you’re not stuck with a coverage gap – our SIMs work across Europe, worldwide, and with full 4G/5G availability in the North Sea.

How Fleet Managers and Offshore Businesses Use Mobile Internet at Sea

It’s not just for checking emails or making the occasional video call. Offshore data usage today includes ship telemetry, IoT devices, real-time monitoring, livestreaming, remote maintenance and more.

Fleet operators use DRYNET SIMs to stay connected across multiple vessels. Offshore wind service crews rely on stable mobile networks to coordinate activities. And even journalists or content creators out at sea use our SIMs to upload footage without delay.

Whether you need one SIM or fifty, we help you scale without stress.

What to Look for in a Maritime SIM Solution

Not all SIM cards are ready for the high seas. Look for:

• Wide coverage zones (ideally 50+ countries)
• Transparent pricing (no hidden fees)
• Flexible data options (Pay-as-you-go to 1TB)
• Easy usage tracking and top-up
• North Sea-specific solutions (e.g. Tampnet support)
• Contract options that match your needs

DRYNET SIM checks all these boxes. We keep it simple, scalable and transparent.
