A guide to crew movement planning.
Identify the crew movement
Crew changes involve people moving between travel arrangements and the vessel. Concord’s published service covers embarkation, disembarkation and repatriation at Egyptian ports. Start by identifying which movement is required and the people involved.
Provide the vessel name, port and expected schedule alongside the relevant travel information. A joining crew member and a departing crew member may need different arrangements, so their requirements should be described separately.
Connect the airport and port
Concord describes a dedicated office at Cairo Airport for meet-and-greet assistance, supported by its own buses and qualified drivers. These resources form part of the company’s crew movement service between travel connections and port requirements.
Raise the expected arrival or departure information with the team, together with the intended vessel connection. Airport assistance and onward transport should be coordinated around the actual movement rather than assumed from a standard itinerary.
Discuss accommodation and transfers
Accommodation may be needed between travel and the vessel connection. Concord includes this within its crew change support, alongside transfers using its transport resources and motorboats where appropriate to the operation.
Explain the accommodation or transfer support required when preparing the enquiry. The practical arrangements depend on the port, vessel and crew schedule, and should be confirmed with the team for each movement.
Keep changes visible to the team
Travel plans and vessel schedules may develop during an operation. Keeping crew movement information together helps the coordinating team understand the current requirement and discuss the next arrangements with the operator.
For an enquiry, contact Concord with the movement type, vessel, port and available travel details. Use the operations contact for vessel-related coordination, and discuss any updates directly so the service scope remains clear to everyone involved.
