Values
Day in, day out, through their everyday work, the men and women who make up our staff express those traditional values which underpin our name and which have fuelled our successful development over recent years.
Professionalism
The quality of our services and the technical – indeed technological – characteristics of our ships hinge on the intrinsic qualities of the people who perform and operate them. This man/machine tandem is the key to excellence in our business. Our staff cares about doing things well, down to even the tiniest hidden detail. This concern means that, in addition to modernising our fleet, we also make sure that skills are kept honed. The regularity and dependability of our services are proof of this commitment. The client loyalty is our reward.
Responsibility
The sea commands respect. BOURBON staff members bear in mind the consequences of their actions, constantly seeking to see beyond them, to allow for them and to assume them. This attitude of responsibility is nurtured by the on-going improvement policy we have adopted for the services we offer our clients, for the working conditions and safety of our operations and by our compliance with the most stringent standards for the maritime field we work in.
Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is a bedrock value for the company. A deep-rooted, affective response which enables each member of staff to develop and to find fulfilment in his or her work, to communicate this desire to surpass themselves and to remain constantly in action without sacrificing the emotional stimulus which imparts energy. The sea is a catalyst, a field of action, virgin soil and a harvest which beckons the pioneer spirit of the men and women under the BOURBON flag.
Solidarity
Whether sea-going or shore-based, BOURBON crews belong to a fraternity of men and women who work together towards shared objectives in the true maritime tradition of respect, support and mutual assistance. Our differences and our diversity, combined with those of our partners and clients, provide the resources which enable us to move forward together, shoulder to shoulder, and to take up the most daring challenges.
