The sea tug and service ship SC SEA LORD, the latest addition to Sima Shipsales, has now joined the fleet of Sima Charters, thereby further broadening the services of Sima Charters.


The SC SEA LORD underwent a significant overhaul (REFIT) in 2023 at Damen Maaskant in Stellendam. During the shipyard period, the latest technologies in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Internet of Things (IoT) from SkyLab were chosen. This includes the latest Maritime Internet Starlink from SpaceX, including a Global 5G NSA&SA/4G LTE backup system, providing the ship with fast and reliable internet.

The SC SEA LORD also offers the SkyNet Internet of Things LoRaWAN network onboard and its vast surroundings, enabling real-time monitoring of wireless sensors. These sensors provide vital data such as water detection, tank content, incline angles, accelerations, vibrations, forces on cables, temperature, humidity, and gas levels. This data is crucial for monitoring safety and efficiency during maritime operations.
