CFM Crewing will now provide shipping companies with an integrated and optimised approach to managing their crew travel arrangements.

Lloyd’s Register has unveiled the integration of C Teleport, a cutting-edge travel management platform, into the Cloud Fleet Manager  Crewing module. The integration will enable shipping companies to manage and book flights for crew members within one platform, making it easier to ensure onboard personnel arrive at their destinations on time.

C Teleport is a digital platform designed specifically for the marine and offshore industry. It offers real-time access to flight schedules and ticket prices, allowing crew managers to book the most cost-effective flights for their teams. With C Teleport integrated into CFM Crewing, crew managers can manage the entire process of booking flights for crew members, from start to finish without the need to switch systems.

Having one centralised platform for managing all aspects of crewing operations, from scheduling and training to payroll and travel management, enables shipping companies to consolidate their operations into a streamlined workflow that saves time and increases efficiency. Route optimisation functionality further streamlines the process, ensuring that companies can plan and manage their crew’s travel arrangements with ease and in a timely and cost-effective manner.
