GIOVANTI TRAVEL & MSA

Members of MARGROUPO

Integrated Travel, Crew and Maritime Services

Giovanti Travel and MSA, both MARGROUPO companies, bring together complementary expertise in travel, crew mobility, marine and offshore services, providing integrated solutions to the international maritime industry. Based in Piraeus, Greece, one of the Mediterranean’s most important maritime hubs, the two companies combine longstanding industry knowledge with a strong international network and a service-driven approach to the needs of shipowners, ship managers, crewing companies and maritime professionals.

Founded in 1984, Giovanti Travel has developed more than four decades of experience in the travel and maritime sectors. Its dedicated Marine & Offshore division specialises in the complex travel requirements of the shipping industry, supporting crewing agents, crew managers, ship managers and maritime companies with the movement of crews and personnel around the world. From international air and ferry travel to accommodation, transfers, documentation and travel coordination, Giovanti Travel provides tailored solutions designed to make crew movements more efficient, reliable and cost-effective. As an IATA-accredited travel agency, the company combines professional travel expertise with dedicated account management and 24/7 operational support, ensuring assistance whenever maritime operations demand it.

MSA – Markou Shipping Agency extends this expertise into the wider field of marine and offshore services. With extensive experience in the maritime sector, MSA supports vessel and crew operations through ship and crew management, crew changes and transfers, port-related services, operational coordination and a range of specialised services required by vessels and their crews. Its approach is centred on reliability, responsiveness and practical operational support, helping maritime clients manage the many moving parts of vessel and crew operations from its strategic base in Piraeus.

Together, Giovanti Travel and MSA offer MARGROUPO’s maritime clients a broader and more connected service proposition, bringing travel, crew mobility and maritime operations closer together while reducing operational complexity. At the heart of this approach is a simple understanding: maritime operations are ultimately about people as much as vessels. Getting the right people to the right place at the right time is fundamental to the safe and efficient operation of ships.

From Piraeus to the international maritime community, MARGROUPO connects people, supports crews and helps keep maritime operations moving.
