Mission & Goals

The Federation of National Associations of Ship Brokers & Agents(FONASBA) provides a united voice for the world’s ship brokers and agents. Founded in 1969, the organisation promotes fair and equitable practices and ensures that the needs of our members are understood at international, regional and individual national level across the maritime industry. Our Federation has consultative status at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), United Nations Conference on Trade &Development (UNCTAD) and the World Customs Organisation (WCO).We also work closely with ship owning bodies the International Chamber of Shipping, BIMCO, Intercargo and Intertanko. FONASBA’s relationship with the European Commission is effected through one of its Standing Committees, the European Community Association of Ship Brokers & Agents (ECASBA). ECASBA provides input into European seaport, port services, short sea shipping, shipping safety and EDI policies as well as customs and administrative procedures.
