Main products and services
Globetech VesselNet
The ninth generation of our vessel IT platform. Scalable, cyber-secure, IMO-compliant.
VesselNet is the ship's complete office and administration system: servers, mail, client computers, printers, backup and endpoint protection, built on a virtualisation platform with well-proven hardware from established manufacturers. It runs the software your fleet already uses, from TM Master, Star IPS, ShipNet and Unisea to Navtor and Microsoft, and suits everything from small tugs to large, complex ships. Hundreds of vessels have run it over the last decade.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a VesselNet installation last?
It is designed for a 5-year lifecycle. Maintenance and support are remote, so we ideally don't visit the vessel again until the planned system change. That cuts travel and emissions, in line with our ISO 14001 certification. Hardware that can be reused is reused.
How is IMO compliance documented?
Each applicable ISM code requirement is broken down into concrete, documented actions. Every delivery is digitally logged and follows our governing documents and cyber security framework, under our DNV ISO 9001 and 14001 certification.
Is VesselNet a product or a service?
Both. You get the hardware and software, and we run it as a managed service with a recurring licence that covers monitoring, patching and support.
Does VesselNet work with any satellite provider?
Yes. VesselNet is link-agnostic — VSAT, LEO (such as Starlink) and 4G/5G are combined and prioritised by our hybrid connectivity layer.
