The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS): Is the only internationally recognised professional body representing the commercial shipping industry; most notably shipbrokers, ship managers and agents. ICS has 24 branches in key shipping areas throughout the world, including Australia/New Zealand, all committed to maintaining the highest professional standards across the shipping industry. Membership of the ICS is achieved through examination and, to this end, ICS has developed and provides its own distance learning programme with courses and text books written by leading specialist practitioners in their fields. These texts are regularly updated and represent an excellent study resource for ICS students as well as an invaluable addition to the reference library to others involved in the shipping industry; including marine underwriters.
