Marine Travel: Have a Safe and Pleasant Journey!
Perhaps more than any other, the marine industry is a global phenomenon. Among its numerous sectors, employees of all kinds are often required to travel and, unlike when booking a holiday for pleasure, there is little fun to be had in the planning! It's a complex affair and if you don't have the right connections then you could be wasting money unnecessarily, not to mention precious time.
As with so many other potential problems in the maritime industry, Bachmann Group is able to prevent them from ever occurring with our superior marine travel services.
With such a large number of people working in the maritime industries, there are myriad reasons why any particular employee may need to travel. Even workers based onshore are often required to travel on related business or to attend meetings or training sessions. Crew members regularly need to travel to the vessel they will be working on.
Rules set out in the Maritime Labour Convention (which was established in 2006 and has been ratified by over 100 countries including all major flag states) specify that crew members be repatriated without charge upon expiry of their contract. The rule applies to crew members working on any kind of vessel from dredgers and freighters to cruise ships and yachts (both private and commercial).
Bachmann Group helps the owners and operators of vessels to keep costs low by providing special marine travel rates. The refundable tickets we provide are designed to be flexible, which is especially useful in the event of delays and/or cancellations at the last minute.
We provide our marine travel services in conjunction with Polaris Travels, a sister company to Polaris Maritime Services. Like Bachmann Group, the company carries ISO 9001 certification and boasts an incredible level of experience, having been founded more than 30 years ago back in 1991. We have been affiliated with Polaris Travels for many years and enjoy a close and productive working relationship with the renowned company.
Anyone working in the marine industry can qualify for our low price travel fares upon production of one or more of the following documents:
- A ship identification card
- A discharge book
- A transfer paper or work order
- A letter of employment that advises vessel details
- A joining letter in the case of travel being arranged for spouses or siblings
If you are responsible for organising marine travel then Bachmann Group can help you to do so in a rapid, reliable, efficient and cost-effective manner. Get in touch with us today to find out more.
