With much of the world’s travel coming to a halt in 2020, numerous sectors were still jetting across the globe for essential work purposes. None more so than energy firms travelling to offshore oil and gas locations and security firms providing valuable cargo ships protection from piracy.
What does a marine fare entitle you to?
Marine fares entitle the holder to more flexibility with amendments to fairs, greater baggage allowance, ensuring you can take all your required equipment for long stays offshore and extra security should flights be rescheduled, giving you priority for re-arranged flights.
Who qualifies?
To qualify for a marine fare you must be one of the following:
- A Seaman travelling to or from a vessel on duty, with a seaman’s book
- Staff travelling to or from a vessel who aren’t a seaman but are included on the ship’s manifest
- The spouse of someone working on a vessel, once added to the ship’s manifest
- An engineer or contractor travelling to or from carrying out work on a vessel or offshore
If you are one of the above it is important to be aware that you may require one of the following:
- Your seaman’s logbook
- Your contract of employment
- A company headed letter which outlines your name, requirement to travel, the dates of travel and the basic information about the vessel/project you are working on.
What can Wayte Travel do?
At Wayte Travel we understand how quickly marine fare clients require a response, that’s why our dedicated Marine team, headed by Rob Massey alongside our free of charge out of hours service gives you the peace of mind that you need.
If you would like more information about marine fares, or how Wayte Travel can help do not hesitate to get in touch with Rob or Sales Director, Garry Lloyd alternatively contact the team on salesteam@waytetravel.co.uk

As vaccines are rolled out and the world starts to look forward with cautious optimism, thoughts will turn towards travelling again. However the landscape is markedly different and it is therefore vital that attention is paid to the constantly changing border policies and Covid-19 screening requirements of all countries. In addition, airlines and hotel companies are continually updating their policies in respect of changes and cancellations.
The value of a professional business travel agent has never been greater. Wayte Travel Management has been arranging business travel since 1980 and I myself have been with the company since 1988. We are long established, well capitalised and in a strong position to weather the Covid storm and continue providing exceptional service to our clients, old and new, into the future.
As part of our comprehensive services we offer :
• Advice on travel restrictions, entry requirements, quarantine periods etc.
• Advice on ticket flexibility, routings
• Managing refunds and re-bookings
• Traveller tracking
• Full 24/7 Out-of-Hours service
Most importantly, we provide you with a dedicated agent with direct e-mail access and phone contact – no call queuing, no anonymous contact centre. We have 17 agents, most of whom have been with Wayte Travel Management for many years and are very experienced to assist you in arranging trips in this Covid-19 era.
In addition to this you will also benefit from our usual services :
• One point of contact for all flights, hotels and other elements of travel
