Fly- Hi Maritime Travels Ltd
Our company
Our company manages end to end travel arrangements for crew of commercial shipping companies, ensuring that the crew members move seamlessly from their home country to the port of boarding. We manage their airline tickets, ground travel, hotel stay, visa application etc until they reach the desired port of boarding.
Every movement of the crew members directly impacts the vessel schedules, compliances and operations. Our role is to absorb this complexity on behalf of shipping companies by planning and making end to end travel arrangements for the crew members and by offering them 24/7 support during their travel from their home country to the port of boarding.
Modern shipping fleets operate with crew of mixed nationalities and therefore each crew member has to have a tailor made travel itinerary to ensure their arrival to the port of boarding as per the desired time and schedule. We offer the following services to the commercial shipping companies for their crew travel:
Global crew ticketing
International and regional ticketing, including mutit-leg itineraries which are planned as per vessel schedules and joining windows.
Route planning and travel design
Routes are planned based on airline reliability, transit visa rules, buffer timings etc and travel is planned keeping in mind risks and priority of boarding certainty.
Visa & Immigration co-ordination
Co-ordination with seafarers for transit visas across multiple nationalities to align with the time of boarding of vessels at port.
OK to board confirmation
Co-ordination with seafarers for administrative clearance to travel and board the vessels. This is done by co-ordinating with the customer’s operations team and the port agents.
Real-time travel monitoring & disruption handling
Real time monitoring of flights and other travel arrangements with immediate re-routing or change in tickets if required.
After office hours & Emergency support
24/7 handling of crew replacements, medical requirements and last minute changes.
Boarding confirmation & journey closure
Real-time check on successful boarding of the crew on desired vessels and formal closure of the operational travel route.
