Zenitel Named Intercom Supplier of the Year for the Fourth Time

The recognition reflects not only product performance, but also the trust placed in Zenitel systems by shipbuilders, integrators, and vessel operators worldwide.

The award is an honor, and 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 multiple times over the recent years is not just about prestige. It is about staying consistent in what matters the 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 judged by 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 perform in harsh and demanding environments without unnecessary complexity.

More Than Just Hardware

From intercoms and talkback stations to fully integrated PAGA and IP networked systems, Zenitel’s communication 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 newbuild projects in Asia.

Why Recognition Matters, But Trust Matters More

Winning awards is a proud moment. But the real measure of success is repeat customers, long-term integrators, and crews who request Zenitel by name. These are the reasons Zenitel has earned not just one, but four recognitions over the past years.

With a growing focus on digitalization, cyber-secure communication, and sustainability, Zenitel solutions continue to evolve without compromising the core promise: dependable communication at sea.

In an interview with Baird Maritime, Thomas Aas, marketing and communication lead at Zenitel, reflected on the increased focus around cybersecurity in the industry: "As safety systems become more connected, cybersecurity is no longer optional but a formal requirement".

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 importantly, we thank our partners, shipowners, and the maritime professionals who rely on our systems every day.

After all, communication is not about awards. It is about trust on board.
