Marine Travel
When BJB Travel Partnership was founded, our first clients were organisations in the merchant marine sector. Many of these original clients are still working with us over a decade later, as are many others. Our job is to take the stress out of organising travel. Whether your crew is travelling to a vessel, cruise ship or yacht we can simplify the process for you because we are an expert in maritime travel. We know that your needs are often very complicated, and will almost definitely change before the date of departure. We have thousands of special industry fares that allow maximum flexibility and competitive pricing thus will always make sure that you have the best fare for your trip.
BJB Travel Management can offer customers direct unrestricted access to all Marine and Offshore Worker Fares, both direct with the airline (British Airways, Global Marine featuring Lufthansa, SAS and United, Alitalia, Malaysian, Air France and KLM) and through industry partners.
Oil and Gas (Offshore) Travel
Our experience in marine travel translates easily into the offshore sector, as organisations involved in oil and gas exploration and production have similar demands to move people within time-critical parameters to mission-critical assignments. Our reputation in the marine sector lead to us securing new business within the Offshore market.
Our understanding of the often resource-constrained, time-critical and complex nature of these markets is second-to-none, and our ongoing commitment to understand our clients’ requirements enables us to deliver consistently high levels of quality support and reliability, hence the reason why we run our own 24 hour service manned by our own staff.
With all our clients, our approach is to listen to and understand their requirements, and then tailor processes and services to meet these needs and expectations. The specially negotiated fares we have developed for the marine sector also apply to offshore organisations, delivering a range of savings, flexibility and routing options not available elsewhere.
Certain travelers in the oil exploration, production and similar industries qualify for these fares that are considerably less than published airfares and offer flexibility, similar to marine fares. Transporting crew to these difficult destinations requires a travel management company that is geographically savvy, experts in fare construction and accessible all the time.
Requirements
As it is a privilege that the airlines extend marine and offshore airfares to these communities. We need to ensure that everyone using marine fares and the associated benefits are qualified to use the fares. Therefore, we follow the airlines’ policies closely and advise our travellers to carry proof that they are indeed travelling to or from a vessel / rig for work purposes. Forms of proof that are accepted by airlines include: a letter on company/ship letterhead outlining the need to travel, a seaman’s log book or a company contract showing the details of employment and the embarkation port.
Other examples of businesses involved in this sector that might be able to benefit from these fares include, but are not limited to: Marine Electricians, Marine Engineers, Maritime Technicians, Offshore Workers, Port Authorities, Ship Surveyors, Support and Supply Operators, Insurance, Tank Cleaners, Maritime Loss adjusters. If you are unsure whether you qualify for a marine or an offshore fare, just give us a call and we will check for you.
We look forward to talking to you about your requirements, and helping you to achieve your goals whilst reducing your costs.
