Turkey joins ICS governing body

Turkey’s growing maritime industry is set to take a bigger role in the development of professional shipbroking standards following its admittance to the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) governing body.

The London-headquartered ICS provides globally recognised professional qualifications for brokers, agents and managers. It becomes the 27th branch member of the 111-year-old organisation.

ICS Turkey, which is based in Istanbul, will be responsible for growing the membership and education programme in Turkey and coordinating events, workshops, and examination centres.

With its representation at Institute Controlling Council meetings, the Turkey branch will join other international branches in playing an integral and influential role in the overall development of the Institute.

Welcoming the branch at the Institute’s Controlling Council Meeting in London, ICS chairman Glenn Murphy commented, “Turkey is a fast growing maritime force. With over 1000 ship agencies active across the country supporting the 526m tonnes of cargo handled in Turkish ports in 2021, not to mention the increasing number of shipbrokers and ship managers, high quality professional education is critical to the country’s development as an international shipping centre. We are delighted to elevate Turkey to ICS branch status.”

ICS Turkey is chaired by Bahadir Tonguc FICS, who is also managing director of Supramar Shipping & Trading.
