Company facts
* Marine travel management company specializing in moving crew and passengers from their homes to their cabins.
* Private company majority-owned by V.Group, provider of ship management and maritime services to the commercial shipping, cruise, energy and defense industries.
2021 developments
* Grew during the pandemic largely due to cruise lines ramping back up their operations. GMT secured several accounts because it has the scale to operate in-house air departments more economically than some cruise lines can.
* Invested in online booking tools, resulting in increased sales but not overhead.
* Designed and executed several private air charter operations for cruise lines.
* Focused on selling hotels in addition to flights more than in the past.
Looking ahead
* Geopolitical events are not helping with the travel recovery from the pandemic. GMT hopes the stop-start pattern ceases for the sake of its cruise-related business.
