Istanbul Ship Management is principally a management company specialising in the integration of vessels and cargos. It excels at co-operation and joint-ventures with serious owners, interested in securing long term employment for large bulk carriers, especially cape-size tonnage. Whilst concentrating on its management and chartering core business, ISM carefully monitors market trends and inspects available tonnage with a view to future purchase for ongoing projects.

Since its inception ISM has consistently proven that it can successfully secure profitable long term business for its principals. That success is demonstrated by the yearly increase in the quantity of cargo carried by its managed and chartered vessels.

Within the dry bulk sector ISM plans to increase co-operation with ship owners and to maintain a streamlined cargo and operations profile, to ensure the full use and ultimate profitability of existing Tonnage.
