Frequently asked questions

  • What does CTM stand for?

    CTM stands for Crew Transport Management. It’s a specialized service that handles the logistics of moving maritime crew members between vessels, airports, hotels, and medical facilities — with full bonding and compliance certification.

  • Why do I need a bonded CTM provider?

    When transporting international crew under customs “Parole” or temporary entry status, federal regulations require bonded transport to ensure crews remain secure and compliant until vessel departure. Fife Maritime carries full WUTC bonding to meet these requirements.

  • Are your drivers TWIC certified?

    Yes. All Fife Maritime drivers maintain current TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) cards, allowing them access to secure port terminals throughout Washington and Oregon.

  • Do you operate 24/7?

    Yes. We understand vessel schedules don’t follow business hours. With 24-hour advance booking, we can accommodate pickups and transfers at any time of day or night — early morning departures, late-night arrivals, or weekend crew changes.
