Who This Is For

• Fishing vessels operating in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, or Thailand.
• Harbour craft, bumboats, supply launches, day-trippers.
• Small commercial vessels under 30 GT that need voice + safety, not bandwidth.
• Owner-skippers buying their first satellite comms setup.

What’s Included

• Inmarsat IsatPhone 2 satellite phone — industry-leading battery life (~160h standby), IP65 rugged build, voice and SMS across SE Asia and globally.
• 406 MHz EPIRB — Cospas-Sarsat distress beacon with GPS, registered to your vessel and to MPA where applicable.
• Prepaid Inmarsat airtime bundle to get you talking on day one. Top up as you go.
• Annual EPIRB registration support and battery-replacement reminders.
• Same-day SGD quote and dispatch from Singapore.

Why This Bundle Works

For most SE Asian fishing crews, this is the cheapest path to a properly equipped boat that can call for help, call home, and stay within fisheries regulations. IsatPhone 2’s battery life means a week-long trip without recharging. The 406 MHz EPIRB is the most universally accepted distress beacon and the one most surveyors want to see.

You are not paying for bandwidth you do not need. You are paying for two pieces of kit that work when it counts.
