Today is the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Day of the Seafarer, a day when the global shipping community comes together to recognise the men and women who keep 90% of global trade moving. This year’s IMO campaign, My HarassmentFree Ship, highlights every seafarer’s right to a safe, respectful, and inclusive working environment. At ATPI Marine Travel, we proudly support this initiative and stand with the industry in championing meaningful cultural change.
Bridging care and compliance
ATPI Marine Travel helps shipping companies uphold their duty of care through action even when seafarers are off-ship. From door to deck, our role is to move seafarers safely and comfortably, with minimal stress. We understand that crew change logistics is about ensuring every journey respects seafarers’ wellbeing. While options like airport lounge access and fast track security can make a difference, we have a global team of experienced and dedicated agents ready to support seafarers and crew managers at a moment’s notice.
Realtime impact
Our hybrid approach shines through in everything we do. From advising on the most traveller-friendly routes to timely liaison with agents, seafarers and other diverse stakeholders when new plans need to be made on-the-fly, our people and technology make the whole process more cost-efficient and less time consuming. By acting fast, and anticipating challenges and supporting consistent communication between ship, shore agent, and crew, we help remove stress and ensure journeys deliver comfort and punctuality, while focusing on the safety and wellbeing of seafarers.
A collective responsibility
On this Day of the Seafarer, we recognise the dedication, resilience, and professionalism of those who spend months away from home to keep the world moving. Every seafarer deserves safety, dignity and respect, both at sea and ashore. As an industry, our shared responsibility is to create environments free from harm and full of care, and at ATPI Marine Travel we offer our support to seafarers and all who work to uphold their welfare every step of the way.
