Transfer Scope
What launch and crew work we cover
Pilot & surveyor transfer
Fast launch trips for pilots, class surveyors, and port officials needing to board a vessel.
Marine crewing & management
Sourcing and managing crew for vessels operating in Indian waters, alongside the launch service itself.
Why Operators Use Our Launches
Crew transfer that keeps a vessel's schedule
A late crew change or a missed pilot transfer can hold a vessel at anchor for hours. Our launches run out of Mumbai on short notice, so crew, pilots, and surveyors reach the ship without adding to a vessel's port time.
The same team also manages marine crewing — placing and rotating crew for vessels calling at Indian ports, alongside the launch service itself.
