Notre Dame Taking-Off This 2009 With A Blast
By Vincent Ignacio
The year 2008 has not ended yet but I was able to foretell that the following year will be a very good year for Notre Dame Oilfields Maritime Services. I remember opening my company email on Christmas day to find dozens of email inquiries from shipowners and ship managers interested in availing our services.
Our company’s reputation of delivering our obligations on time, our competitive pricing, and the high quality of manpower that we provide is the reason why our company is slowly but surely becoming recognized by principals from all over the world.
While our competitors dispatch seafarers based on the amount of money their applicants has bribed them (known locally as “lagay”), our agency has a strict “walang lagay” (no bribe) policy and our only objective is to deliver the most qualified, documented and well-trained seafarers thereby providing true economic value for our clients.
It is our agency’s obligation to set a good example for the other manning agencies. Money is not always the bottom line. Having a “good name” is the only legacy that we can leave this world long after we are gone.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our old clients for their conviction and trust in us. And also to welcome our new clients. Your willingness to bank on us will serve as our inspiration to further commit ourselves to the highest levels of integrity and professionalism.
