Imtech Marine, a full-service provider and system integrator of tailor-made technology solutions covering the whole ship, announced that[ds_preview] ship’s crews will have access to PressReader as a new value-
added service to its satellite communications portfolio. Starting in August, Imtech Marine customers will be able to use PressReader for access to full content of more than 2,500 newspapers and magazines in 60 languages from more than 100 countries. These can be read on PressReader via a crew member’s PC, laptop and mobile devices on board vessels.
PressReader and its cross-platform app give users access to thousands of global publications with just one subscription. Each ship can customize a library of newspapers and magazines based on their particular regional location and passenger demographics. Ships download their selected titles daily via satellite and offer their crew members a local
Wi-Fi connection to download them on their personal devices. With this solution, costs remain low for ships while still being able to provide quality service and amenity to the crew. Once a title is downloaded it can be viewed by PressReader users anytime, anywhere throughout the trip. PressReader offers thousands of well-known titles likes »The Guardian«, »The Moscow Times«, »The Washington Post«, »China Daily« and »The Philippine Star«. Imtech Marine will demonstrate PressReader at their booth at SMM in Hamburg this September.
