Crew change support

Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, GAC’s crew change expertise has come to the fore. Our round-the-clock support for ship owners, managers and operators to ensure crew signing off or on, have the smoothest and safest transfers possible. Support with visas, travel and associated procedures, all within relevant Covid-19 guidelines, ensures every changeover goes without a hitch.
