Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on offshore platforms with limited internet?
The check-in sends a tiny amount of data. If you can load a basic webpage, you can check in. Many platforms have enough WiFi for this.
What if the platform loses all connectivity?
On Protect Me, if you can't check in, your family is alerted. Let them know your platform's communication situation so they understand occasional connectivity gaps.
Can I check in during crew change travel?
Yes. Check in from the helicopter base, airport, or wherever you have signal during crew changes.
My wife worries the entire rotation. Will this actually help?
Enormously. Instead of worrying every moment, she'll know once a day that you're okay. Many offshore families say this dramatically reduces anxiety.
What if my check-in fails due to satellite connectivity issues?
The app retries automatically. If it truly cannot connect, you can try again when connectivity improves. On Protect Me, if you miss the window entirely, your family is alerted. You can let them know in advance that occasional connectivity-related missed check-ins are possible on your platform.
Will the check-in work on a platform's limited satellite internet?
Usually yes, because the check-in sends only a tiny amount of data for a brief moment. If you can load a simple web page or send a short message, you can almost certainly check in. Set your check-in for a time when you reliably have connectivity, such as after your shift when you are back in accommodation, and let your family know that occasional connectivity gaps offshore are normal, so a rare missed check-in is understood in context.
Does this work across the different rotation and shift patterns offshore?
Yes. You set a single daily check-in time and can adjust it whenever your rotation changes, so it fits two-week-on patterns, day and night shifts, and crew-change travel. Check in during crew change from the heliport, airport, or wherever you have signal. Because you control the time, the app adapts to the offshore rota rather than assuming a fixed onshore schedule.
