A new member association: International Shipsuppliers and Services Association

The International Shipsuppliers and Services Association (ISSA) represents nearly 2,000 ship suppliers throughout the world. Established in 1955, ISSA encompasses 40 national associations of ship suppliers as full ISSA members, as well as associate members in 51 countries where no national organization exists.

Recognizing that ship supplying is very much a relationship-based enterprise, ISSA aims to provide a better understanding between suppliers and buyers through consultation and communication.

Members undergo a rigorous vetting process before gaining admittance to assure their reliable and quality-driven services. The ISSA Ship Stores Catalogue features this membership. ISSA has also developed a set of conditions that form the base of any supply contract to ensure fair trading and best practices.

The ISSA Secretariat is certified to ISO 9001:2015 quality standard.
