Sail smoothly with marine & energy travel experts
The United Kingdom boasts 2,960 energy, marine, and shipping companies, which, altogether, account for £354 million in travel spend. But shockingly, few travel management companies are equipped to manage logistics for these organisations—their complex requirements, from constant crew rotations and strict compliance frameworks to last-minute itinerary changes that are not at all uncommon, probably make the gap in service offerings unsurprising.
But your travel programme still needs to go full speed ahead, and the Corporate Traveller team’s experts in marine, energy, and shipping travel stand ready to support your goals, keep travellers safe and on time, and streamline your programme along the way.
Safety & experience, sorted
You shouldn’t need to sacrifice one for the other. Energy & marine travel programmes require expert travel consultants who specialise in the nuances, for example, knowing when and how to access industry-specific fares and content and address common concerns, like navigating lengthy, manual processes, managing extended credit expectations, and working within a fast-paced onboarding process. Your Corporate Traveller customer success manager will also provide expert travel programme consultancy, establishing a powerful partnership that will ensure your programme is streamlined and cost-effective.
And duty of care doesn’t take a backseat. Whether it’s ‘man down’, ‘man overboard’, or ‘man, I missed my flight’, crisis management is just a phone call or online chat away and is available 24/7. Your work often takes you to volatile areas around the world, so the safety of travellers is paramount. Corporate Traveller can implement seamless pre-trip policies to make sure every booking is shipshape, and our travel consultants are trained with bespoke plans to respond to any emergencies quickly.
Controlling costs & accessing insights, everywhere
Travel is essential to your organisation’s success, so the Corporate Traveller team is ready to arm you with tailored content and bespoke reporting to get your numbers where they need to be. Your expert travel consultant will book from a library of competitive offshore, marine, and energy fares, plus work with you to find the right balance between spend and traveller experience. It’s all about controlling cost, but with the flexibility and inclusions you need.
And no travel programme evolves without good data analysis. Our online reporting platform pulls data from your travellers’ booking behaviours to provide super valuable pre- and post-trip insights. Use your historical data to help influence your future programme decisions or provide guidance to travellers. And if you are looking into benchmarking, Corporate Traveller serves over 41 energy and marine clients, amounting to £15 million in TTV—so there is definitely enough data to compare with.
Meet your first mate, Melon
If your travel programme’s technology isn’t up to par, then the whole programme sinks. Melon is Corporate Traveller's proprietary online tool, available on desktop and mobile, where marine & energy travellers can look, book, enquire, and expense. And for bookers or managers, they can do all of that and manage itineraries, plus access deeply insightful reports.
Let’s dive into how Melon helps marine & energy travellers navigate rip tides:
- Got five minutes? That’s all travellers will need to book a trip with Melon’s friendly design.
- Traveller itineraries are grouped to manage their travel plans easily. Bookers and managers have access to traveller tracking tools, allowing you to see their current location and identify any potential trip disruptions.
- Access one of our expert travel consultants via chat, email, or phone—whatever mode of communication is best for your situation, 24/7.
