The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers Greek Branch has launched the ICS Company Membership Scheme, a new initiative aimed at strengthening collaboration between the Greek shipping industry and the world’s leading professional body for commercial shipping.
Founded in 1911 and awarded a Royal Charter in 1920, the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers is the only internationally recognised professional body for shipping professionals, with 27 branches worldwide. Since 2005, the ICS Greek Branch has grown to become the largest ICS branch globally, playing a leading role in
professional shipping education and industry engagement in Greece through high-profile conferences, seminars, and networking events.
The ICS Company Membership Scheme enables companies to formally affiliate with ICS and join its global professional network, reinforcing their commitment to professionalism, education, and excellence in shipping.
Who Can Apply
Shipmanagement companies, shipbroking offices, and key service providers to the shipping industry, including shipping law firms, technical and management offices, suppliers, consultants, and maritime service providers, having at least one Fellow of the Institute (FICS) in a senior management role, can apply for the ICS Company Membership.

With over a century of history and an extensive international network, ICS provides member companies with enhanced credibility, global visibility, and direct access to a worldwide maritime community.
