Chelsea Logistics offers Chelsea Travel online booking app
Chelsea Travel App offers improved features: cheaper group booking, self-service booking management, and shorter reservation cut-off time 20 September 2023, Manila, Philippines –Chelsea Logistics enhanced its ‘Chelsea Travel’ App, the unified online booking system of its subsidiaries Starite Ferries, SuperCat, and Trans-Asia Shipping Lines, which provides an easy, simple, and stress-free booking experience to passengers. As simple as three steps: “SCAN, BOOK, PAY”, anyone can instantly book a sea travel and explore the Philippines’ breathtaking tourist destinations. Chelsea Travel’s major upgrades include Group Booking, self-service Booking Management, and a One Hour Late Cut-off to make booking reservations. With Group Booking, families and barkada traveling together can input passenger details and preferred accommodations all in one go, saving them time and effort. Booking for a group of three or more passengers is also cheaper due to the one-time payment of the admin fee. Passengers also have the option to pay via GGives, providing more manageable installment payments. With the “Manage Booking” option feature, there is no need to contact customer support, and passengers can access existing reservations and reprint their e-tickets which can be sent to their email for their reference. To provide more flexibility and convenience to passengers, Chelsea Logistics reduced the reservation cut-off time to 1 hour prior to departure from the previous 4 hours cut-off time. For passengers who want to make an impulsive trip, even during peak season, they can be confident that they will have a reserved seat on board. Aside from these major upgrades, the Chelsea Travel App also offers a consolidated ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ from Starlite Ferries, SuperCat, and Trans-Asia. A comprehensive breakdown of the fare and charges before passengers proceed to make the payment will also be available to maintain transparency and lessen confusion about actual charges associated with their transaction. Chelsea Logistics Information Technology Head Efren M. Bernardino, Jr. remarked: “The Chelsea Travel App, powered by Outsystem, is focused on innovations that aim to make booking more convenient, reliable, and satisfying not only for our passengers but also for our back-end users who are tasked to diligently review and validate an average of 300 transactions daily. We believe that these improvements will attract more families and barkada to try sea travel more often.” Chelsea Logistics President & CEO Chryss Alfonsus V. Damuy said: “We at the Chelsea Group will keep on enhancing our services to make our valued passengers happy and satisfied with their travel experience. We believe that sea travel is not only a mode of transportation, but also a way of discovering new places, cultures, and perspectives. That’s why we are constantly investing in our fleet, our crew, and our technology, to ensure that we can offer the most diverse, entertaining, and memorable journeys for our customers.”

Layag, Chelsea Logistics Layag travel magazine
November 2022 – Chelsea Logistics launched ‘Layag’, a quarterly publication that will feature travel activities, history, food, and culture of the Philippines’ tourist spots and hidden gems. Specifically, ‘Layag’ will focus on travel destinations and local businesses that are accessible through sea travel. Published online and to be distributed on board Chelsea Logistics’ three shipping lines: Starlite Ferries, SuperCat, and Trans-Asia, ‘Layag’ also aims to keep passengers informed about the Group’s newest services, route developments, and vessel amenities. Promoting Philippine Tourism Through Layag Magazine ‘Layag’ is an endeavor of the Chelsea Group to help promote the Philippines’ tourism industry after a two-year travel hiatus caused by the pandemic. For its first issue, ‘Layag’ focused on Cebu City, the Queen City of the South, highlighting its Sinulog Festival, the grandest annual celebration in Cebu City held every third Sunday of January to honor the Santo Niño (Child Jesus). Aside from sea travel hacks and travelers’ experiences, ‘Layag’ also offers free tickets to those who will participate in its regular contests. A special section, ‘Traveler’s POV’, is designated for Chelsea Group employees to encourage them to contribute their own articles, travel tips, and photos, driving internal engagement. Chelsea Logistics President & CEO Chryss Alfonsus V. Damuy said: “We launched ‘Layag’ on 11.11.22 at 11am, an auspicious date, as we are certain that the passage business will hit significant growth in the next few months which will hopefully continue in succeeding years. Our desire is to help rebuild the livelihood of those communities affected by the pandemic by featuring them in ‘Layag’. We will start with the areas where we operate in like Cebu, Batangas, Ormoc, Surigao, Cagayan De Oro, etc. We commit to promoting local businesses and attractions while boosting our routes to aid the Group’s recovery.” The Chelsea Group’s Passage revenues in the third quarter of 2022 grew more than 7x year-on-year and 4% quarter-on-quarter to P371 Million — the highest quarterly revenue achieved since the government-imposed lockdown in March 2020. Advertisers are also welcome to further improve the circulation of ‘Layag’ and contribute to the full recovery of tourism in the country. Currently, ‘Layag’ has a potential readership of more than four million passengers nationwide.

The second issue of Layag will feature the Industrial Port City of CALABARZON and one of the fastest urbanizing cities of the Philippines, Batangas City.
