Crew Changes

When you are logged into Martide, it is easy to see if you have any upcoming crew changes so that you can stay organized and be ready to embark. Here’s how to use the Crew Changes feature. 

How to use the Crew Changes feature

First, log into your Martide account. You will see your My Jobs page first. It looks like this:

To go to the Crew Changes page, click on Crew Changes in the menu on the left hand side of the page. You will go to this page:

In this example, our seafarer doesn’t have any upcoming crew changes. If you DO have an upcoming crew change you will see a page that looks like this. The page is quite long and has a lot of useful info so we'll break it down.

Here you can:

  • See the progress of your crew change - the icons at the top tell you the status. They are Contract, Visa, Travel Arrangements, Working Gear and Other. When the icons are green it means that stage is complete.
  • See who to contact if you need help and send them a message.

Below that you will see your Tasks:

Here you can:

  • See what you need to do before you are able to embark. In our example, our seafarer needs to confirm that the travel arrangements the employer has organized are okay and confirm their working gear.

Click on Confirm travel arrangements and you will see something like this - it will either show local transport or flights depending on where you are going:

If the travel arrangements are okay for you, click the Confirm button. The system will ask you if you have double checked the arrangements, if you have, click Yes.

Now if you go back to your Crew Changes page, you will see the airplane icon is green, meaning travel has been confirmed. The progress bar is now also green:
