Offshore travel management: Why energy companies need a specialist approach

In the world of offshore, marine and energy sector travel, every journey is mission-critical. Crew changes, tight turnaround times, remote locations and regulatory requirements make planning more complex than your average business trip. That’s why energy companies, offshore operators and marine organisations need more than a standard travel service — they need a specialist.

At Clarity, we understand the pressures of this industry. Our marine travel specialists and expert support teams deliver flexible, efficient and secure offshore travel management, helping energy businesses stay connected, compliant and cost-effective.

Why offshore travel management is different

From oil rigs and wind farms to FPSOs and vessels, offshore workers travel on tight schedules to remote, often difficult-to-reach locations. That means your travel programme must be robust, responsive and built around operational needs — not convenience.

Whether you’re flying workers from Aberdeen to Lagos or coordinating marine crew changes in Rotterdam, your travel management solution needs to be fast, precise and adaptable.

Challenges in energy sector travel

1. Complex itineraries and last-minute changes

The energy industry doesn’t always run to schedule. Weather delays, operational shifts and project changes mean flexible travel arrangements are key — with real-time support when plans change.

2. Global mobility and visa requirements

Energy sector workers often travel across borders, requiring specialised visa support, documentation and entry management. Your travel partner should handle this seamlessly, reducing admin and delays.

3. Safety, security and duty of care

Travellers heading offshore face unique risks. You need real-time tracking, travel alerts, and a provider who understands the critical importance of duty of care in high-risk locations.

4. 24/7 support

Offshore travel rarely happens on a 9 to 5 schedule. Your team needs access to dedicated 24/7 travel support — especially when operations depend on it.

The value of a marine travel specialist

A true marine travel management provider offers more than just bookings. They understand the specific requirements of the industry — from helicopter transfers to crew manifesting and global hub connections.

At Clarity, our marine and offshore travel team are trained in industry-specific processes, working closely with your operations team to minimise disruption, manage compliance and keep your people moving safely and efficiently.
