Our international network
Members of the Institute of Chartered
Shipbrokers are an internationally
recognised network of shipping professionals who have proven
knowledge, competence and understanding of the broad spectrum of
shipping business and who continuously work to improve

Shipbrokers provides international support through its
27 branches around the
world.
No matter which branch a member belongs to, they are
encouraged to participate in the activities of the whole
branch network. Branch events, courses,
seminars and training sessions are open to all members across the
world.
The Institute supports its international student body through
the branch network and 11 International Teaching
Centres.
Furthermore the Institute is constantly welcoming new friends in
the family and today can count already on 11 Recognised Partners.
Studying with the institute:
We support our global network by offering online study methods
through our ICS
Online Academy as well as the London School of
Shipping. The school is managed and operated by the
Institute's head office in London and will undergo a quality audit
process for accreditation as with any of the Institute's ITCs.
If you have any queries regarding the online courses please
email us at shipping-school@ics.org.uk
The Institute's portal, available at www.shipbrokers.org, is a key
part of the network with a dedicated members' area. This
allows members to search for contacts, companies and to
access specialist industry information.
