The Sailor Thrane & Thrane TT-3606E is a high-reliability GMDSS message terminal manufactured by Thrane & Thrane A/S (Cobham SATCOM) in Denmark. Serving as the primary data processing and display terminal for Sailor Capsat Inmarsat-C systems (such as the TT-3020C, TT-3000E, and TT-3026/TT-3022 series), the TT-3606E facilitates mandatory satellite distress alerting, two-way telex messaging, and maritime safety broadcasts.

Featuring a 10.4-inch high-contrast color TFT display and running dedicated EasyMail GMDSS software, the TT-3606E enables bridge watchkeepers to view, draft, transmit, and archive Inmarsat-C messages. The terminal incorporates multi-port interfaces for bridge printers, external keyboards, position-reporting GPS devices, and remote distress buttons, fulfilling SOLAS Sea Area A3 requirements for commercial merchant vessels and offshore fleets.
