NEWSFLASH: SOLAR POWER ENERGY - IT REALLY WORKS!
After 19 months on the water, the solar-powered ship MS Turanor PlanetSolar finished its journey around the globe in the Hercule Harbor in Monaco on May 4.
“We are extremely happy to have achieved this first world tour with solar energy,” the ship’s captain Swiss Raphael Domjan said from the dock. “We have shown that we have the technologies as well as the knowledge to become sustainable and safeguard our blue planet.”

"A WORD FROM THE BRIDGE"
Based in the National Maritime College of Ireland in Ringaskiddy, Co Cork, SEA-Tech provides tactical IT consulting, technical professional services and project management as well as rapid response technical support to the marine sector in Ireland and overseas.
Established in 2005 and operating under the philosophy of “we do I.T. the way you want it done”, we operate as both a prime contractor for research and academic, coastal and marine engineering, yachting, SMEs and as a subcontractor for marine engineering, shipping agents, chandlers, IT vendors, integrators. Our engineering power and consulting are the backbone of successfull projects.
Still we are very different from any other I.T. Company in Ireland. We are IT experts with marine experience, whose primary goal is to serve you, our customer. Sure, other people say this too - but do they really mean it? Do they live it? We do - and our existing clients will tell you so. SEA-Tech has earned a strong reputation for delivering value in line with customer requirements both on land and at sea.
Founder & Director
It's been a year now, since I delivered this training in the middle of Atlantic, Marine I.T. is not just about networking a computer with another to transmit marine data information. It's also about linking together the boat, the satellite and the crew. It's about 
troubleshooting in hostile environment. It's about information and processing. Stephen has been at sea for over a year now, his training has served him well, a day after another Stephen has used his Marine I.T. skills almost as much as he has been using his sailing skills. There is not yet any formal course geared toward Marine I.T. Engineering... or should I say Marine I.T. Technologist. Let's work at it!
