About Us – Leave Processing Group (LPG)
The Leave Processing Group (LPG) was established with a singular purpose: to ensure that every crew member, officer, and shore-based staff working within the LPG sector has a fair, structured, and transparent process for applying, tracking, and managing all forms of leave. We recognize that the demands of maritime and industrial life—especially in the high-pressure environment of LPG transportation—require a system that prioritizes both efficiency and empathy.
We serve as the central hub for all leave-related matters across the fleet and onshore operations. Our processes are designed to remove uncertainty, reduce administrative burdens, and ensure that every personnel member receives the rest, recovery, or personal time they need—without disruption to operational flow or safety standards.

What We Do
From planning your next homecoming to supporting you in moments of crisis, LPG’s Leave Processing Group works behind the scenes to ensure you’re never alone in navigating your time off. Our system is built on three pillars: clarity, speed, and human care.
We manage and process the following categories of leave:
⸻
1. Annual Leave
Annual Leave is a right—not a luxury. We coordinate regular rotation schedules to allow crew members and staff their deserved time at home. Whether you’re sailing a standard 8-week or 12-week contract, we help ensure a smooth transition between on-duty and off-duty periods, while maintaining crew balance and safety onboard.
•Pre-approved schedules
•Leave balance tracking
•Flight coordination & documentation support

2. Emergency Leave
When life throws the unexpected—family crisis, sudden illness, or critical personal matters—we act fast. Emergency Leave is given the highest priority, and our team works in real time with fleet command and port authorities to facilitate:
•Expedited disembarkation or release orders
•Emergency travel booking support
•Confidential processing to protect your privacy
⸻
3. Medical Leave
Health is non-negotiable. If you’re injured or fall ill while on duty, or require recovery time post-deployment, our team ensures that medical leave is processed with zero delay. We also coordinate with company health providers, onboard medics, and insurance departments to keep things seamless.
•Medical report verification
•Onboard/offboard medical tracking
•Re-entry clearance management

We understand the emotional toll of losing a loved one or facing a serious family situation. Compassionate Leave is available for situations involving the death or critical condition of a spouse, parent, child, or close family member.
•Respectful, confidential handling
•Flexible timelines where needed
•Travel support for repatriation needs

•Documentation & scheduling support
•Coordination with training institutions
•Clear timelines for duty resumption
6. Study & Professional Development Leave
The LPG sector is evolving fast, and we support continuous growth. For those seeking STCW upgrades, management courses, or technical certifications, we offer pathways to apply for leave aligned with training and exam schedules.
