About IP Shipping
A Sydney-based maritime services company, founded by ex-seafarers, keeping vessels and cargo moving through every Australian port.
Our story
IP Shipping provides ship agency, logistics and cargo charter services from its head office in Sydney and a second office in Perth. Our founders came ashore after years at sea, and that experience shapes how we work: we understand the vessel, its crew and the pressure of a tight rotation.
We support owners, charterers, operators and the offshore sector with a single point of contact, whether the job is a routine port call, a midnight crew change, urgent spares through customs, or an emergency charter for oversized cargo.
