Augustea Group has the ambition to build a sophisticated shipping company to offer the best service available to all its customers, striving to work with the highest ethical standards and aiming to create value for our stakeholders.
Augustea's operating philosophy is "Respect to the Seas". It is strongly embedded in everything Augustea strives to accomplish and has a strong adherence to a clear set of principles and values that support its philosophy.
Safety - protecting our best asset: the people that run our ships. A safe working environment is the basic building block upon which Augustea is built.
Efficiency - never leaving stones unturned. Being part of a logistical chain does not imply being passive. We always strive to explore old and new challenges from different perspectives to still every single ounce of effectiveness by renewing and strengthening our fleet and by diversifying into related markets.
Trust - being part of the inner circle of our client. In today’s highly competitive world, our clients must feel we are fully on board with their everyday needs without ever compromising their information edge.
Drive to performance - always raising the bar of excellence. Only by constantly challenging ourselves can we remain valid and competitive.
Quality - Protecting our crews. Respecting the seas. Serving our clients. ISM, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditations are testimony of our commitment to the total quality philosophy as a pre-requisite of long-term profitability.
Such principles drive our development process ensuring continuous improvement and technical updating of the fleet in a constant search for greater service efficiency, thereby delivering competitive and reliable maritime services, while respecting the highest standard of crew safety and minimising the environmental impact.
This reflects our belief that, in a market as volatile as shipping, slow but steady growth is more appropriate than the high-risk strategies prevalent throughout the marine industry.
Our technical and management expertise allows us to carry on with this development process in different ways: by renewing and strengthening our fleet, by diversifying into related markets and by creating joint-ventures with primary shipping market operators. Two of Augustea's top priorities have always been crew safety and environmental conservation. It is our invariable aim to provide customer satisfaction by delivering maritime services that are not only competitive, but also reliable. For us, quality is a prerequisite of long-term profitability, so that our vessels and equipment are of the highest international standards and efficiency. Each of our vessels is acquired, built and maintained with a lifetime of economic ownership in mind.
Augustea's fleet has been awarded the highest grade by International Classification Societies and in 1997 the company complied promptly with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code.
