Our Vision: Be a Winner
|
Desgagnés' entire history has been marked by sustained, carefully orchestrated efforts that have helped ensure its growth and maintain its position as a shipping industry leader.
Purchasing vessels, creating subsidiaries, forming partnerships - this strategy of diversification and combining strengths has helped keep us growing.
Has it been our forward vision, our clear-sightedness, our infusion of capital and know-how? It's been all of this and more, including less tangible but still essential touches, such as paying constant attention to detail, striving for excellence, and being passionate about what we do.

A three-part strategy intimately tied to success
|
To succeed in the extremely complex and highly competitive shipping industry, Desgagnés has adopted a three-part strategy consisting of
- Controlled growth (through in-house projects, new markets, and acquisitions)
- Non-vulnerability (through the diversification of markets and business niches)
- Profitability (by implementing effective controls, allocating available resources to the right places, applying new technologies, and motivating personnel)

Special areas of expertise
|
- Unloading without docks
It's impossible to describe to the layperson the utter complexity of sailing the Arctic Ocean and unloading cargo on shore! Thick ice, harsh climatic conditions, and the absence of port facilities are some of the human and technological obstacles encountered. Perseverance, determination, innovation, and investment make Desgagnés, through its subsidiary Desgagnés Transarctik, one of the rare carriers that provides regular service in complete safety to these remote corners of the earth!
- Refloating vessels in distress
The M/T Rio Orinoco,which ran aground off Anticosti Island in 1991, and the M/V Alcor, which suffered the same fate off the Island of Orleans in 1999, are two examples of the refloating operations that have built Desgagnés' worldwide reputation.
- Performing special missions
With its proven expertise in shipping oversized and hazardous cargo, exceptional environmental and safety standards, and fleet of specialized vessels, Desgagnés is a valued partner of industries that must ship special cargo - including dynamite, drilling equipment, building materials, chemicals, oil products, military supplies, and more - to hard-to-reach places.
