Crew handling

Reliable crew handling services for safe and efficient crew changes. Coordinating travel, immigration formalities and local support from arrival to departure.

STT Agencies provides crew handling services for vessels calling at Dutch and Belgian ports. We support ship owners, managers and crews by coordinating the practical arrangements required for smooth crew changes and efficient crew movements.

Crew changes require accurate planning, clear communication and close coordination between the vessel, owner, immigration authorities, transport providers and local service partners. Our experienced team manages these arrangements efficiently, helping minimize delays and ensuring crew members are supported throughout the process.

What our crew handling service includes

Our crew handling service includes coordinating crew changes, airport transfers, hotel accommodation, flight arrangements and transport to and from the vessel. We also assist with immigration and customs formalities, visa requirements where applicable and communication with the relevant authorities to facilitate smooth crew movements.

Supporting your crew throughout the port call

Whether crew members are joining or leaving the vessel, STT Agencies acts as the local point of contact throughout the process. We coordinate schedules, monitor arrival and departure times, provide practical assistance where required and keep owners, managers and the vessel informed every step of the way.
