Contract Valued at C$185K for CrewMate Lite Devices to Expand Maritime Connectivity
July 21, 2025 – Vancouver, Canada – Turnium Technology Group Inc. (TSX.V: TTGI) (FSE: E48) (“TTGI” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its Claratti subsidiary has secured a fourth order from Seafarer Connect valued at C$185,487 Total Contract Value (TCV) over 24 months for 19 additional CrewMate Lite devices.
This latest order, partially funded by London-based ITF Seafarers Trust and the Australian NSW State Government, underscores the growing demand for Claratti’s innovative connectivity solutions and its critical role in supporting the welfare of international seafarers visiting Australian ports.
The CrewMate Lite devices are deployed on foreign cargo ships as they enter Australian waters, providing crew members with immediate, free, and reliable internet access throughout their stay. This connectivity enables seafarers to maintain vital connections with family and friends, access support services, and preserve their mental health during extended periods at sea.
“This fourth order from Seafarer Connect demonstrates the proven effectiveness and reliability of our CrewMate Lite technology,” said Doug Childress, Global CEO of TTGI. “The continued partnership, now supported by Australian Government funding, validates both the humanitarian importance of this initiative and the quality of Claratti’s solutions in addressing the critical connectivity needs of international seafarers.”
The Australian Government’s partial funding of this order represents a significant milestone in recognizing the essential nature of maritime connectivity services. This support positions Seafarer Connect and Claratti to accelerate their expansion plans to additional Australian ports, including Tasmania, Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory, and Western Australia.
Since the partnership began in 2022, Claratti’s technology has helped Seafarer Connect dramatically improve the welfare of thousands of international crew members, providing a lifeline that became especially critical during the COVID-19 pandemic when isolation at sea led to severe mental health challenges among seafarers.
