Brothers Andy and Johnathan Hillstrand and their crew may take to the seas in a vessel resembling a pirate ship. It offers mariners a host of features, including global coverage for its voice, text and low-speed data services, as well as Inmarsat's SOS emergency calling capability and an additional SIM for multiple users. Everyone we spoke to on the phone commented on its clarity saying they could hear us so well." The Oceana 800 FleetPhone Terminal phone was supplied by the BEAM Communications, with airtime from Inmarsat distribution partner Stratos. "We've been using it to call in for weather reports and to keep in touch with fish processors, as well as family and friends. "We were extremely pleased with the performance of the BEAM Oceana 800 Fleetphone - particularly the voice quality of the service," said Captain Andy. Along with their four-man crew, they put BEAM's Oceana 800 terminal accessing Inmarsat's new low-cost satellite phone service, FleetPhone, through its paces. And although the exterior of their boat looks similar to a pirate ship from yesteryear, both of them prefer to rely on the latest modern technology systems while working off Alaska in the Bering Sea. House of Kolor Official Website: Bandit, the 34.44 metre-long (113ft) boat, named after the motion picture of the same name, is only on a mission to capture king crabs rather than human beings.

It was finished literally moments before he arrived, so unfortunately there are no pictures of it to post. Right before Johnathan was to arrive to pick up his newly painted bike, Mike had the idea to etch the Time Bandit logo around the perimeter of the glass on the center gauge. The deckhands at work bringing in another catch can be seen more completely, just above. On the lower center of the fender, just below the tail light, the F/V Time Bandit plows through stormy seas, with the skull and crossbones emblazoned on the bow. A map of the Bering Sea is superimposed over the whole set of scenes, painted again in a bright gold metallic paint that shines in the outdoor light. On the opposite side is a crab pot being hauled onboard in spite of the ocean deity’s wrath. On the right-hand side of the fender is a manifestation of the Greek Sea God Poseidon, angrily brandishing his trident while a storm rages. A sailing ship floats below the portrait, backlit by a late-day sun, casting a fiery reddish hue on the whole scene.Ībove the tail light on the rear fender of Johnathan’s bike is a Time Bandit “Jolly Roger” flag, engulfed in flames. On the front fender is a montage of images from a sea pirate era, including a buccaneer captain that looks somewhat familiar. An American flag flies above the scene, a counterpart to the Swedish version on the opposing side. The modern-era scenery carries over onto the other side of the bike’s tank, where the current day F/V Time Bandit is shown battling a gargantuan monster-crab at sea. This scene is done in warm glowing tones, in contrast to the harsher cold sea scenes on the sides. A time-spanning Time Bandit clock-like graphic is overlaid on the scene in a bright metallic gold, which catches the light brilliantly in the sun. The top side of the tank shows another viking vessel in the background, with a profile portrait of Captain Jonathan in the modern day. A Swedish flag was added above the scene as an homage to the Hillstrand ancestry. This side is done in mostly cooler blue tones, with some purple and pink accents that help blend the scene from this side to the images on the tank’s top. The left side of the tank portrays the ethereal visages of viking warriors and their ship at sea. The viking side of the fuel tank, still in progress.
