Seawall Firewall is a bespoke solution designed specifically for the maritime environment and clientele. Developed with both small cruise ship operators and ETO technicians on board or even for many yachts with no ETO or crew with little or no IT / network experience.

Backed up by our dedicated IT support on shore designing and implementing new installs or dealing with change requests or support tickets. We always have someone to help you tailor the system to your requirements and support that 24/7.

Firewall and router 

Seawall acts as the vessels firewall and router, protecting and distributing network traffic in and around the vessel.

• Our install team will work with onboard techs to design and implement a complete solution to move all ships networking over to the Seawall platform.
• Configuration of routing rules which control Internet traffic and local Network connections, Controlling what systems can communicate with each other.
• Prevent viruses, worms, trojans and spyware from attacking your network. Seawall has a built in detection system that will help prevent unwanted access to your vessels Systems.

Limit and divide the limited internet access to key areas of your vessel. 

Create pools or priorities of access to the internet, Seawall allows us to create specific rules that will divide and limit chunks of your incoming network connection and deliver them as dedicated lines to key areas of the network, Stopping one user from hogging all the data.

For Example on a vessel with a 10MB Connection we can limit and split the incoming data so there is a dedicated 5MB for the vessels owner and the remaining data can be split between the Crew(2MB), Ships Operations(2MB)  and Onboard Systems(1MB(Email, VoIP, VOD)).

GUEST / CREW VOUCHER SYSTEM

Seawall captive portals allows you to create time or data based vouchers that allow you to provide a limited data allowance. These vouchers give you the ability to offer codes for when the user enters them into specific Wireless or Wired networks to gain internet access for the set time.

This can be a great source of revenue for charter vessels or cruise ships, or just a convenient way to manage internet access.

Administration

Most administrative and system changes will be handled by our inhouse support department; each seawall firewall is unique in its design and changes need to be made to maintain security and reliability.  The vessel will have access to some administrative systems to create vouchers and users check system status and network usage.

Secure VPN

Seawall allows for secure VPN for connection between multiple vessels or between head office and the vessel allowing secure communication that can not be intercepted.
