Maritime crew support in Korea.
Sign-off to departure. Arrival to sign-on.
End-to-end crew change coordination at every Korean port — managed by a dedicated operations team, powered by real-time tracking, and supported in English, Chinese, and Japanese.
Crew Change · Sign-On / Sign-Off · Port-to-Airport · 24/7 Dispatch · Flight & Vessel TrackingMore than transport — operational crew change management.
A crew change is not a taxi call. When your seafarer disembarks at Busan New Port at 4 AM, they need a coordinator who has confirmed the outbound flight, arranged a hotel if the connection doesn’t work, prepared a Korean mobile, and will report back to your crewing manager with timestamps at every checkpoint. WIZMO doesn’t just move your crew — we manage the operation, from vessel to airport and back, and take accountability for every step in between.
Coordination
Vessel schedules, flight times, immigration processing, hotel check-ins — aligned into one logistics plan and executed end to end by a single operations team.
Accountability
Your crewing manager receives status updates at every checkpoint: pickup confirmed, airport arrived, checked in, boarded, departed. No gaps. No guessing.
Visibility
Real-time vehicle tracking for every crew movement. Accessible to your operations team via web portal, email updates, or direct message — whichever your workflow requires.
Crew change, end to end — sign-off and sign-on.
Whether your crew is heading home or joining a vessel, WIZMO manages every step — port, immigration, hotel, airport, and back — and reports each checkpoint to your crewing manager.
Sign-Off — disembark to departure
From gangway to departure gate
- Port pickup: chauffeur meets crew at the designated port gate — Busan New / North Port, Incheon, Ulsan, or any Korean port. Multilingual greeting, luggage assistance.
- Immigration: shore pass / transit visa timing coordinated with your port agent; CIQ clearance accounted for.
- Hotel layover: arranged near port or airport when vessel and flight don’t connect same-day.
- Airport & departure: delivered to the correct terminal at ICN / PUS / GMP with check-in navigation.
Sign-On — arrival to embarkation
From arrival gate to gangway
- Flight tracking & meet: every inbound flight tracked; pickup auto-adjusts for delays. Chauffeur waits with a name sign in the crew member’s language.
- Immigration: D-1 (Crew) visa / shore pass processing time factored in, coordinated with your port agent.
- Hotel stay: arranged near port or airport when the vessel or berth window isn’t ready.
- Port delivery & boarding: delivered to the correct berth or embarkation point; anchorage changes timed to the launch boat.

Support services — beyond the ride.
Crew logistics often involves more than ground transportation. WIZMO offers support services designed to remove friction from every crew rotation.
Korean Mobile & USIM Rental
Pre-activated Korean USIM (data + voice) ready at pickup, rental Samsung smartphones with USIM pre-installed, or eSIM activation by QR code. Connectivity starts the moment your crew steps off the plane or vessel.
Flight Booking Coordination
We identify outbound flights that align with vessel arrival and CIQ, and verify inbound arrivals against berthing schedules. Logistics alignment so the ground plan and the air plan work as one operation.
Hotel & Accommodation
Port-area hotels in Busan, Incheon, Ulsan, Yeosu, Mokpo; airport-area hotels near ICN, PUS, GMP. Multilingual check-in/out, pickup timed to the next leg. Group rates for recurring programs.
Managed by experts. Powered by technology.
WIZMO’s crew change operations run on the same platform that powers our corporate and event programs — adapted for the specific requirements of maritime logistics.
Real-Time Dispatch & Tracking
Every crew movement is dispatched, tracked, and logged through our platform. Your crewing manager sees vehicle location, chauffeur assignment, and ETAs via web portal or status messages.
Flight & Vessel Monitoring
Inbound flights tracked via live aviation feeds. Vessel ETAs monitored through AIS-integrated scheduling. When schedules shift, dispatch adjusts automatically and notifies your team before the crew is affected.
Digital Status Reporting
No phone calls to chase. No emails to request. Status updates are sent proactively at each checkpoint — configurable to email, messaging app, or portal notification.
Incident Management & Escalation
A missed connection, a visa issue, a medical situation — our operations team initiates the response protocol immediately. Your designated contact is notified within minutes, with a clear action plan.
Every Korean port and airport — one operations partner.
