Marine industry travel philippines

By combining state-of-the-art technology with an expert team, ATPI can deliver cost-effective and efficient maritime corporate transportation in the Philippines

The maritime industry is integral to the Philippines; made up of thousands of islands, this seafaring nation transports approximately 40 million local and foreign passengers by sea each year and more than 25% of the world’s 1.5 million maritime professionals are Filipino. An industry this vast needs a maritime travel industry that works like clockwork – and a partner that understands the intricacies of the sector to ensure crew changes happen no matter what.

Specialist sector experience in maritime corporate transportation Philippines

Operating in one of the world’s strongest maritime industries, shipping companies in the Philippines need to partner with a travel company that knows the sector inside and out. ATPI has over 100 years’ experience managing marine industry travel in the Philippines. Alongside boasting a century of expertise, ATPI has trained an expert team and developed a suite of intuitive tools designed to solve your fleet’s most pressing problems.

Caring for your crew

When it comes to marine industry travel in the Philippines, your crew come first. At ATPI, duty of care is our priority, whether we’re arranging maritime corporate transportation in the Philippines for deck-and-engine crew, hotel crew, or office staff. Our 24/7 support and extensive risk management strategies are designed to keep everyone safe, while our traveller tracking technology ensures we know where each crew member is at every stage of their journey. Our team will take care of all the logistical headaches that can prevent your workforce from being shipshape and ready to sail.

Securing the lowest fares

In a competitive industry like shipping, every Philippine peso counts. If you’re struggling to find low-cost options that align with your budget on standard booking engines, working with ATPI could make all the difference. We have preferred partnerships with airlines, access to exclusive deals, and advanced fare search tools that we can use to explore a range of fare options and offer more competitive rates to our clients. 

Rapid response

The true value of working with an expert in marine corporate transportation in the Philippines becomes clear when things go wrong. Shipping routes and schedules are especially vulnerable to disruption due to geopolitical tensions, pandemics, and natural disasters. The result is port congestion and operational inefficiencies that escalate costs.

Thanks to ATPI’s 24/7 service, we can react quickly to unexpected situations and identify solutions that comply with industry standards while making sure your crew members get where they need to be as soon as possible.

Itinerary flexibility

If equipment suddenly fails or you’re facing weather delays, you might need to make schedule changes at the last minute. ATPI has a specialist team available round the clock to help co-ordinate last-minute flight bookings and hotel accommodation as well as supporting with any visa requirements. Providing expert advice and support even in the most challenging circumstances, this team is always ready to spring into action.

100% compliance

Maritime corporate transportation in the Philippines comes with a requirement: you need to submit an Operational Exigency Charge (OEC) whenever an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) has a trip. ATPI offers our clients some leeway, giving them the opportunity to request the OEC up until reporting is due. We’ll also send an email reminder ahead of the deadline to make sure you always submit on time.
