Our People. Our Culture.

Unity is the foundation of Marquette’s culture. Every day, our shore-based and vessel employees must work as a team to ensure our company provides safe, reliable marine transportation service—a service that is essential to our customers, the markets they serve, and ultimately our economy at large.

Marquette employees demonstrate this unity through individual responsibility and a collective commitment to each other. Our teams are passionate about their work and our company. This passion emanates throughout the entire organization and is demonstrated in our strong belief in family. We strive to always treat our employees as an extension of our family and live our message of integrity in word and deed. We are a strong proponent of internal advancement, continuing education, and equal opportunity. We also encourage our employees to support their individual communities and the charitable organization of their choice.

We understand that a well-informed network of employees is paramount to our growth and success. Because many of our vessel employees make their homes in towns and cities across America, we continue to expand our communications across a wide range of media to keep our employees as well connected as possible. Marquette currently uses the intranet, company newsletters, sponsored events, email, videos, personal visits and other means to ensure our employees are empowered with information.

One Name, One Team, One Direction is the philosophy that underscores our family-oriented culture and guides us along our journey to deliver the safest, most comprehensive marine transportation solutions.
