Supplier classification

Since 2005, we have implemented a rating system for our suppliers and boats. Indeed, after each cruise, the customer receives a satisfaction form. With all the answers we can give an objective score (between 0 and 20 ) for each of our ship owners. We exclude suppliers with a score below 8/20.
