IEC Telecom Headed to Crew Connect Global 2026

Crew Connect Global has become one of the maritime industry’s key meeting points for conversations on crew welfare, recruitment, and the technology reshaping life at sea. This year’s edition takes place from 20 to 22 October at the Shangri-La The Fort, Manila, bringing together shipowners, crew managers, welfare organisations and technology providers from across the world.

The event will also host the Crew Connect Global Awards 2026 ceremony on Wednesday, 21 October, recognising the individuals and organisations driving innovation across maritime crewing. IEC Telecom is proud to be nominated in the Innovation and Technology Award category, reflecting our commitment to developing connectivity solutions that enhance crew welfare and support more efficient vessel operations.

Connectivity is a core part of how fleets manage welfare, retention and operations today. Reliable data onboard now shapes everything from a seafarer’s ability to stay in touch with family to how quickly a technical fault gets resolved at sea. At Crew Connect Global 2026, IEC Telecom will bring solutions built around that shift, including our Starlink Maritime portfolio, delivering fully managed, high-throughput, low-latency connectivity for vessels operating anywhere at sea.  

We will also showcase our Voucher Management System, which gives fleet managers structured, fleet-wide control over crew data allowances, and OptiView, our network management platform for monitoring and optimising connectivity performance in real time.  

At stand 3, our representatives will demonstrate these solutions and discuss how fleet operators are already applying them to manage cost, improve crew welfare, and simplify day-to-day network operations.
