Market Specialism – Maritime
Managing seafarer travel
Our travel managers put your seafarers first, ensuring every journey is safely handled with precision, reliability, and an unwavering duty of care—because we understand that there’s nothing more important than your people.
Maritime travel is the backbone of global trade and energy.
For the crews who keep vessels moving, however, the journey is rarely simple. Seafarers face unpredictable schedules, last-minute crew changes, evolving visa and compliance requirements, and the logistical challenge of reaching remote ports. Delays, rerouted flights, and regulatory shifts can disrupt entire supply chains, making resilience and agility essential in every travel plan.
Clyde Travel Management understands the high stakes of maritime travel and the importance of a well-managed, stress-free journey. From exclusive marine fares to coordinating multi-leg journeys and vessel-to-port transfers, we tailor every travel plan to the unique needs of your crews.
With a 24/7 support network, proactive disruption management, and a deep understanding of international regulations, we ensure crews arrive rested, ready, and on time—because keeping global trade moving starts with taking care of your people.

How we can help?
We understand the pressures of marine travel—complex, high-stakes, and ever-changing.
Below are just some of the choppy waters we navigate alongside you, ensuring every journey is safe, seamless, and fully supported.
Visa and mobility barriers
Navigating complex visa rules, border controls, and last-minute travel restrictions can derail crew movements. Without the right support, delays in documentation and compliance can disrupt entire operations.
Geopolitical risks at sea
From piracy threats to conflict zones, security concerns add unpredictability to crew travel. Keeping seafarers safe while avoiding costly reroutes requires constant vigilance and expert planning.
Sustainability targets
Balancing environmental regulations with operational efficiency is a growing challenge. Reducing emissions, adopting cleaner fuels, and meeting sustainability targets must align with cost-effective, reliable travel.
Crew wellbeing and retention
Long periods at sea can take a toll on mental and physical health. Better conditions, reliable shore leave, and strong connectivity are essential to supporting crews and keeping skilled seafarers on board.
