Based in Bali to ensure ease of communication, he is, along with other Lighthouse representatives, also ready to provide support in the nearest port during cruise or clearance timeframes. Fluent in Indonesian after over 16 years in the country, with a background in marine tourism involved in developing dive resorts and managing liveaboard vessels in the region, Andy has developed a network of logistical support professionals across Indonesia and utilises this to solve any of the operational and logistical issues that inevitably arise during cruises. The company’s ultimate desire and responsibility is to provide logistical support and offer advice to the vessel, ensuring the captain and crew feel that although in a remote area, they are still able to operate in a smooth and convenient manner, with access to provisions and amenities that are key to providing the best possible service to the vessel owners and their guests on board. The team can call upon decades of local experience to provide advice relating to clearances and permits, crew and guest visas, bunkering, provisioning, cruise itineraries, international and Indonesian cruise guides and lecturers, transport, hotel logistics and commercial flight services, as well as assistance with helicopter operations and private aircraft ground handling at airports across the archipelago. The Lighthouse Consultancy team and their comprehensive network provide truly 360° support 24 hours a day.
