There are two ways to send small messages directly to the ship:
· Messages for somebody on board can be sent to a special email-address. The ship will download these messages directly via satellite communication. Make your message in plain text (so no HTML). Mention the name of the receiver in the subject field. And do not save this address in your contact persons or use this for bulk mail. The receiver on board will pay for the message. The costs are about 1.50 euro per kilobyte. Half a page of plain text is about 2KB (kilobyte). A larger message for example in HTML text, with colours, fonts etc can easily cost about 15,- euro. Please contact the office for the exact emailaddress
· The second option is to send emails to our Inmarsat C terminal. To be able to do so, the sender has to subscribe to the provider of the satellite connection to be able to send emails directly to the ship. Please contact our office at info@barkeuropa.com for further information.
Trainees and crew aboard the Europa can send text messages to any onshore address, and have to pay cash at the end of the voyage. The messages you want to send must not contain attachments or pictures or any other graphical items. Sending plain text without layout will keep your messages small and therefore cheaper.
You can contact the EUROPA on her satellite telephone number. Costs may vary with your own telecom company. But they are extremely high in any case! Please contact the office if you want to receive this telephone number. When making a telephone call please remember that there might be a time difference.
You can also send a letter or a card to our office in Rotterdam. When new crew or trainees fly in, they can take the mail to the trainees and crewmembers on board. Please check with the office in the Netherlands if crew is flying and if it is possible for them to take mail.
There is no internet connection on board.
Note that cell phones will stop operating at sea.
Remember to write down the correct email addresses and phone numbers of the people you would like to contact from the ship (otherwise your emails will be automatically returned at your cost)
All guests will be asked to provide a next kin address in case of emergency.
Stories about life aboard will appear regularly on our website under Logbook. Furthermore you can check the locations of the ship under ‘follow the ship’. We have frequent contact with the ship so in case you contact us we can tell you about the whereabouts of your relatives/friends.
