We understand.....

Logistics are complex for the crew of your vessels or rigs, and with the need for an experienced and skilled workforce there is a growing demand for global recruitment. Individual crew members may come from different countries and continents, but they all need to arrive on time so that the smooth running of the cruise liners, tankers, container ships and oil rigs remains unaffected by staff changeover. And that’s without the unscheduled interruptions caused by weather, illness, technical malfunction or changes to the itinerary.

With offshore crews criss-crossing the world, vessel owners and operators need a reliable marine travel service that maintains a duty of care to your seafarer, whilst working within your company travel policy or guidelines –
that’s where Portman Marine Travel can help.

Utilising Portman's membership of the Radius Global Network, booking, invoicing and Management Information ( MI ) can be collated centrally to provide a single source solution for clients' multi region requirements.

Getting you the best value, always....

Through regular reviews, bespoke Management Information (MI), reviewing and streamlining the booking process and providing a 24/7 cost effective quality service, Portman identifies clients’ current and future needs and ensure total cost transparency.
