MIAMI, FL – November 3, 2003 - Europe USA Travel, an affiliate of Apollo Ship Chandlers is pleased to announce the opening of a new office at the Port of Miami Crew Center.   The office, geographically situated in the center of the Port, is open daily when ships call, every Friday through Monday.  Crew can meet face to face with an experienced on-site marine travel counselor to make reservations or purchase tickets without an appointment simply by walking in. Crew who have already made reservations with Europe USA Travel and who wish to pay for their reservations and receive their ticket confirmation can also stop by the Crew Center to make payment, or pick up their confirmations.

Chris Podolsky, Director of Europe USA Travel said, "The Seaman's Center at the Port of Miami has long been an important stop for crew who homeport in Miami.  Anybody who has any type of business to conduct, from sending a letter or fax, picking up mail, or long distance calling, stops in at the Seaman's Center at some point.  With the number of crew referrals we were receiving from the Crew Center, it was a natural progression to put an agent in place to service them face to face".
