Navigating duty of care in marine travel

In the world of marine travel, getting the right crew to the right vessel at the right time is business-critical. But beyond logistics and scheduling, one thing matters more than anything else - the safety and wellbeing of your crew.

With long rotations, remote locations, and unpredictable conditions, the marine sector presents unique challenges when it comes to duty of care. That’s why having a robust, marine-specific travel risk management strategy isn’t just important - it’s essential.

Why duty of care matters at sea

Unlike typical business trips, marine crew travel often involves multi-leg journeys across international borders, with tight connection windows and limited flexibility. This makes it even more important to have clear processes and the right support in place.

1. Track your crew globally

Know where your people are, no matter how complex the route. With real-time tracking tools, you can monitor crew movements across the globe, from airport transfers to vessel boarding.

2. Plan for the unexpected

From weather delays to last-minute visa issues, disruptions are part and parcel of marine travel. A proactive duty of care solution keeps your team informed and supported when plans change.

3. Support around the clock

Seafarers don’t travel 9 to 5, and neither do we. With 24/7 travel support, your crew can access help whenever they need it - day or night, port or platform.
