FleetPro Passenger Ship Management
FleetPro Passenger Ship Management was founded in 2012 as a merger of two existing passenger ship management companies and is based in Switzerland. It combined International Shipping Partners (ISP), a passenger ship management services company headquartered in Miami, Florida, United States, and River Advice of Basel, Switzerland. The majority owners became a Netherlands-based private equity fund.[1] In January 2014 the two operations were renamed FleetPro Ocean and FleetPro River respectively.
Management and administrative services provided include deck and engine manning, maintenance, drydockings,[2] inspections, conversions, upgradings and volume purchasing.[3]
