· organizational structure Combine Marine Inc. draws its strength on the wide range of in-house resources. The company encourages the lowering of department boundaries, enabling individuals from separate departments to work together in interdisciplinary terms, on the management of a vessel. This removal of the traditional boundaries greatly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the operation. Combine has a horizontal organizational structure that permits ready access to senior management. The result is a highly effective in-house reporting system, coupled with the ability to make timely decisions while still maintaining the control necessary in operating vessels to a client's pre-agreed budget. The diversity of the in-house skills and experience, along with inter-departmental co-operation and a structure designed for fast and effective decision making, allow Combine to enhance and sharpen the general effectiveness of its management services.
