As part of d'Amico Societa di Navigazione, one of the leading Italian maritime transport groups, ISHIMA is backed by a long heritage of cutting-edge and customer-centric shipbuilding, technical and crew management, and shipping agency expertise.
From handling two ships when it was established in 2005, ISHIMA today manages a fleet of 40 vessels - almost one-third of which are d'Amico's own ships. In addition, ISHIMA also supervises the construction of about 120 newbuilds in China, Vietnam, South Korea and Japan.
ISHIMA combines flexibility with time-tested shipping traditions to provide solutions that best fit the requirements of clients. The big names in its client list, such as natural resource company Glencore Group and Nagashiki Shipping, attest to ISHIMA's extensive capabilities.
Lloyd's Register and Registro Italiano Navale have certified ISHIMA for the International Safety Management code. The company also holds accreditation for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and OHSAS 18001 standards.
As maritime regulations become more stringent in the future, ISHIMA is ready to take on new clients requiring the highest-quality services.
"It will be a more challenging environment for newcomers and smaller players to comply with new industry standards. However, ISHIMA is perfectly positioned to handle increased demand. For those who are focused on quality, come and talk to ISHIMA," says managing director Danilo Raffa.
