Travel management for logistics and shipping companies

Freight forwarders, shipping agents, ship managers and logistics firms move people as well as cargo: managers visiting ports and partners in the Gulf, China and Europe, and seafarers travelling to join or leave vessels, where dates change with the ship’s schedule.

Crew

Crew travel

Seafarers joining a vessel abroad usually travel with their seafarer documents and a letter from the ship manager or agent, and the rules for entering or transiting a country to join a ship vary. We check the routing and the transit rules for each crew change against official sources, and change bookings quickly when the ship’s arrival moves.

Ports

Port and partner visits

Logistics managers visit ports and partners in the UAE, China and Europe. Our destination and visa guides cover each route, from UAE visit visas to China’s online application.

Changes

Built for changing schedules

Cargo schedules move. We keep options open where fares allow, and our 24/7 team rebooks when an ETA changes overnight.

Clients

Travel billed to clients and vessels

Ship managers and agents often recharge travel to owners, charterers or clients. We put the vessel, voyage and client codes on every booking and invoice, so recharges are quick and disputes rare. Monthly reports show crew-change costs by vessel and route, which is useful when negotiating with owners or choosing crew-change ports. Changes and cancellations are recorded with the reason, such as a revised ETA, to support the recharge.

Where owners require specific routings or airlines for crew, we record those rules on the vessel profile so every booking follows them automatically.
