At sea

Being a seaman at Socatra

Passion, innovation, determination and unity. This is how our crew members describe themselves. In addition to the qualities required to be a seaman (rigorousness, responsibility, respect for people and the environment), similar values to Socatra are a prerequisite for any recruiter.
Therefore, our employees have common high expertise, adaptability and essential humanity in their professional fields to navigate various routes, which are sometimes unknown but always fascinating.

The taste for challenge is another common point of our seamen. They discovered the spirit of adventure in Socatra:

At Socatra, I discovered the possibility of working in a fascinating oil field, but also had a wealth of experience: the excitement of long-distance courses, the discovery of new routes and ports, the interest of various maneuvers…

Seamen, what career evolutions?

Missions

The diversity of our missions at sea

An ocean of possibilities…

Varied horizons

Monotony is not at sea, even less on our ship! Socatra provides transportation solutions that suit each of its customers’ needs. Therefore, the maritime mission will change regularly: cabotage or long-haul, fixed crossing plans or tramping… Enough to discover new horizons again and again!

On shore

Sedentary, the anchor

It is essential to business operations, and onshore employees support and value maritime work.

They are the technical, operational and support links of the chain. With expertise in their respective fields, employees in our offices in Bordeaux, Luxembourg, Singapore and Madagascar do their best to promote Socatra’s know-how and experience both internally and externally.
