In the oil and gas industry, people are just as important as pipelines and platforms. Efficient, safe, and well-coordinated crew change and personnel transportation is essential to maintaining operations, complying with HSE standards, and avoiding downtime on rigs, vessels, and project sites.
Whether it’s rotating offshore teams, mobilizing skilled labor, or coordinating international arrivals, King Shipping Trading provides dependable Crew Change & Transportation Services tailored for the demanding needs of oil and gas operations. From airport pickup to vessel drop-off, we manage the complete journey on time, on budget, and in compliance with global standards.
Crew change services refer to the planning, coordination, and execution of moving personnel to and from offshore or onshore oil and gas facilities. This includes:
- Airport meet-and-greet and visa assistance
- Immigration and port health clearance
- Land, air, or sea transportation to worksites
- Helicopter or crew boat transfers to offshore rigs
- Accommodation and welfare logistics
- Luggage handling and safety briefing coordination
- Emergency evacuations and last-minute crew replacements
- COVID and medical screening where required
In the oil and gas sector, where personnel often work in shifts of 2–6 weeks, timely and secure crew change operations are mission critical.
