Can I see my boat’s internet and Starlink data in one place?
Yes. The Chief Engineer watches the whole link from your boat to the internet: the devices on board, the boat’s computer, the Starlink dish, the satellite and the cloud, and shows each step as answering or broken.
It also measures your Starlink data: how much this billing cycle, how much today, and what used it, split between Shimbiri and everything else on board. Every morning it sends you a briefing on WhatsApp.
What it does
- The link from boat to cloud, step by step: devices, the boat’s computer, the Starlink dish, the satellite, the cloud
- Starlink data this billing cycle and today, with the last 30 days charted
- What used the data: Shimbiri’s own traffic and everything else on board
- The devices on the boat’s network, found by scan
- Security issues on the boat’s network, listed so you can resolve them
- A morning briefing on WhatsApp: systems, weather, the last 24 hours and any alerts
The Network and Comms screen aboard Shimbiri on 6 October 2026: every step of the link answering, and this cycle’s Starlink data, live.
Seen at sea
The morning briefing for 6 October 2026 arrived on WhatsApp at 06:30. Systems: the house bank at 13.49 V and 99.6%, diesel 96.9% port and 83.1% starboard, fresh water 54.5%. Weather: up to 15.7 knots in the next 12 hours, gusting 19.9, with the Bureau’s coastal forecast attached. Telemetry: full coverage, 24 of 24 hours. It also said what it could not vouch for: the port engine sender silent for 3 days, and a battery reading of 82.17 V refused as implausible for a 12 V bank. When the link to the boat dropped overnight, the alert said so, and said so again when it came back.
What you need
Needs the Chief Engineer pack aboard, on the boat’s network with its Starlink. The morning briefing comes to the captain’s phone on WhatsApp.
