Comprehensive Crew Change Services & Offshore Personnel Logistics in Sri Lanka
In global shipping, a crew change isn't just a logistical task—it is a time-critical operation where delays can disrupt entire charter agreements. At Marine One, we deliver highly efficient, fully compliant, and cost-effective crew change and repatriation services across all major Sri Lankan ports and international transit lanes.
From managing complex immigration clearances to executing offshore transfers for vessels in transit, our dedicated personnel logistics division operates 24/7/365. We ensure your seafarers experience smooth, safe transitions while keeping your vessel's downtime to an absolute minimum.
End-To-End Crew Logistics Capabilities
We manage every phase of the crew rotation process, serving as a single, accountable point of contact for ship owners, managers, and crew documentation.
Customs & Immigration
Navigating maritime borders requires precise regulatory alignment. Marine One handles all mandatory port formalities under strict local authority supervision:
- OK to Board (OTB) Coordination: Fast-tracked verification and status updates to ensure hassle-free travel.
- Visa & Shore Pass Processing: Rapid issuance of transit visas, customs declarations, and immigration clearances.
Airport-to-Deck Ground Logistics
We bridge the gap between international flight arrivals and your vessel's deck with a tightly managed tracking pipeline:
- Secure Transportation: Dedicated, air-conditioned fleet operating between airport (CMB), hotels, and seaports.
- Welfare Accommodations: Strategic coordinate with secure, vetted hotels for rest intervals.
- Global Air Ticketing: Access to flexible marine fares aligned with dynamic vessel ETAs.
Transit & OPL Crew Swaps
Vessel port calls are not mandatory. If your ship is transiting the busy sea lanes of the Indian Ocean, Marine One can execute crew changes without requiring the vessel to divert or berth.
Utilizing robust supply boats and launches, we perform seamless offshore transfers at OPL, saving ship owners substantial port dues, pilotage fees, and anchoring time.
