The Fleet Training Support Team is introducing a new way of collecting your training expense claims, with effect from 1 June 2023. Fleet colleagues onboard and on leave need to use the Fleet Training Expenses Form to share evidence of payments incurred while travelling for business purposes, subject to the Seafarers Training Travel Policy. This new method will provide a more efficient user experience for fleet colleagues as well as department representatives.
Procedure for completing the Fleet Training Expenses Form via the new link:
- Read introduction and instructions carefully on Page 1 and click ‘Next’.
- On page 2, fill in the mandatory details, such as Emp. No., Department, Rank, Personal email.
- On the same page, fill in the expense details which includes the number of claims, type and sub-type, along with the ‘upload’ option for your expense proofs.
- Tick the declaration and proceed to submit claim(s)
These are some ways you can support us in making this initiative a success:
- It’s important you fill in all details including expense type and sub-type correctly, for your expense claim to be processed. Incorrect entries will be declined, and you will need to raise a new request.

- All claims must be associated with a course that has been arranged by Carnival UK or approved by your Global Talent Partner. Claims submitted without prior approval may require further clarification and may not be paid.
