Helping offshore teams feel at home away from home

Helping offshore teams feel at home away from home

Offshore industries, particularly in oil, gas, and renewable energy sectors, face unique challenges when it comes to managing travel. Workers are often remote and offshore, requiring precise logistical coordination and exceptional care to ensure their wellbeing. 

Travel Counsellors for Business understands these complexities and provides tailored, high-touch travel solutions to support offshore companies and their staff. With decades of experience and award-winning services, we’re trusted by businesses around the world to handle even the most challenging travel requirements.  

Here’s how our bespoke approach can help your offshore workforce thrive. 

Home-away-from-home accommodation 

Offshore work often means spending weeks, even months on-site, far from the comforts of home. Travel Counsellors for Business specialises in sourcing accommodation that make workers feel cared for and comfortable, no matter how remote the location.  

What we offer:  

  • Accommodation near both onshore and offshore project sites 
  • Tailored personal touches—whether it’s arranging Wi-Fi for connectivity, a mattress upgrade, or home-style meals, we ensure every detail is perfect 
  • A deep focus on comfort, creating an environment that supports both mental and physical wellbeing 

Long-term accommodation management for seamless projects  

When it comes to long-term offshore projects, accommodation planning requires strategy, foresight, and meticulous attention to detail. Travel Counsellors for Business steps in to manage this process from end to end.  

Our expertise includes:  

  • Comprehensive planning: We assess worker schedules to coordinate consistent housing throughout the project lifecycle.  
  • Streamlining costs: By fostering relationships with global accommodation providers, we can often secure better rates for our clients while maintaining comfort standards.  

We understand that happy employees stay longer, so providing comfort and stability is key to workforce retention and satisfaction. 

Smooth crew rotations, every time 

The last thing your offshore workers want is added stress, so we’ll ensure that every handover is as smooth and efficient as possible.  

How we ensure smooth transitions:  

  • Pre-planned handovers: Worker schedules are carefully planned, reducing overlap while ensuring there are no interruptions in operations.   
  • Comprehensive tracking: From departure to destination, you can monitor the progress of every worker along their travel route via myTC Locate to ensure timely, hassle-free rotations.
