The award is an honor — but behind it lies a consistent delivery of what truly matters: clear, dependable communication in critical situations.

Consistent Excellence Across Changing Seas

The maritime industry doesn’t stand still. From greener fuels to digitalization and crew welfare, vessels evolve — but some challenges remain constant. Communication is one of them.

For Zenitel, being named Intercom Supplier of the Year by Baird Maritime in 2022, 2023, and now again in 2024, is not just about prestige. It’s about staying consistent in what matters most: reliability, clarity, and integration — even as the vessels themselves change.

Why Zenitel Is the Intercom Supplier of the Year

This is not a design contest. The Work Boat World awards focus on practical, working solutions as judged by a team of industry professionals with decades of experience. That means:

  • Systems proven in operation
  • Positive feedback from crews and shipowners
  • Successful projects delivered across regions and vessel types

Zenitel’s recognition comes from delivering communication solutions that do their job in harsh, high-risk environments, without unnecessary complexity.

More Than Just Hardware

From intercoms and talkback stations to fully integrated PAGA and IP networked systems, Zenitel’s intercom solutions are built to support:

  • Crew safety in emergency situations
  • Clear communication in high-noise areas
  • Smart integration with other onboard systems

A major part of this success lies in Zenitel’s strong partnerships with shipyards, integrators, and system designers — from retrofit specialists in Europe to major newbuilds in Asia.

Why Recognition Matters — But Trust Matters More

Winning awards is a proud moment. But the real measure of success? Repeat customers. Long-term integrators. Crews who request Zenitel by name. These are the reasons Zenitel has earned not just one — but three consecutive recognitions.

And with a growing focus on digitalization, cyber-secure communication, and sustainability, our solutions continue to evolve — without compromising the core promise: dependable communication, anywhere at sea.

Built on Trust, Delivered with Purpose

Zenitel is grateful to Baird Maritime and the Work Boat World judging panel for this continued recognition. But even more so, we thank our partners, shipowners, and the maritime professionals who rely on our systems every day.

After all, communication isn't about awards — it’s about trust on board.
