Mail should be addressed directly to the ship’s agent in the different ports of call or to the company's head office. You will receive a list of all port agents before or upon joining the ship. Mail should be addressed as follows: - Your name - Your crew number/position - Name of the vessel - Name and address of agent Incoming crew mail is distributed to each department onboard. Telephone and Fax Due to the fact that phone calls and faxes go through a satellite, calls are usually more expensive that what you are used to on land. Rates differ greatly and start at around $ 2.50 up to $ 12.00 per minute. It is more economical to make phone calls ashore using phone centers or a calling card. E-Mail Some ships have recently added crew e-mail. Inquire with the recruitment agent if the ship has e-mail. |
