Claratti’s CrewMate Lite solution grows from 51 to 69 units nationwide, supporting seafarers visiting Australian ports
June 1, 2026 – Vancouver, Canada – 性知音 老骚老b老太太 Group Inc. (TSXV: TTGI) (FSE: E48) (“TTGI” or the “Company”), a global provider of 拉拉 (TaaS) solutions and channel-driven IT services, is pleased to announce that its Claratti subsidiary has expanded its CrewMate Lite deployment to 69 units across Australian ports, in partnership with Seafarer Connect and the Tas Bull Seafarers Foundation. The CrewMate Lite solution provides secure, managed 4G/5G internet access to vessel crews while docked at Australian ports, supporting seafarer welfare, mental health, and connectivity with family and support services. A newly approved order for an additional 18 units, which will increase the total deployment from 51 to 69 units nationwide, further extends this important connectivity service across Australia’s maritime network.
The partnership between Claratti and Seafarer Connect commenced in June 2022, when Seafarer Connect approached Claratti seeking a reliable, portable internet solution to provide Wi-Fi connectivity to seafarers visiting Australian ports. The initiative was developed to address growing mental health and wellbeing challenges faced by seafarers, particularly following COVID-19 restrictions that significantly reduced crews’ ability to access communication services ashore. Following consultation and solution development, the first order of 10 CrewMate Lite units was placed in October 2022.
Since the initial deployment, Claratti has worked closely with Seafarer Connect and the Tas Bull Seafarers Foundation to continuously improve the solution. The CrewMate Lite product has now progressed to Version 4, incorporating substantial improvements in portability, performance, and usability. One of the most significant achievements has been reducing the unit weight from approximately 12 kg to just 3.4 kg, greatly improving transportation and deployment efficiency for volunteers and port operators. The units provide the crew aboard the cargo ships with secure, managed 4G/5G internet access with long-range Wi-Fi, dual Telstra mobile data services, remote monitoring, GPS tracking, geo-fencing, captive portal functionality, and clean internet browsing protections. They are specifically designed to allow seafarers to stay connected with family, access support services, educational material, entertainment, and important news while away from home for extended periods.
Doug Childress, CEO of TTGI, said, “The growth of CrewMate Lite from 10 units to 69 units over three years is a clear demonstration of what happens when purpose-built 老骚老b老太太 meets real community need. Claratti has shown genuine commitment to continuous improvement in service of seafarer welfare, and we are proud of the role this solution plays in keeping people connected to the people and support services that matter most to them.”
