We help shipping companies win and grow the people within them
The Shipping Collective is a boutique consulting firm built by senior shipping professionals. We combine shipping experience with expertise in process management, digitalisation, and people development to deliver lasting impact.
We are shipping people
Our team brings centuries (we are frankly talking about centuries, if you add it up!) of leadership experience across the industry. We’ve sailed, managed operations and commercial organisations, and led shipping companies from the bridge to the boardroom.
What sets us apart is our ability to make change and results actually happen by combining deep shipping expertise with proven methods in process excellence, digital solutions, and leadership development.

Our Team
Our consultants, advisors, and trainers are experienced shipping professionals. We combine centuries of industry experience and insight with a practical, sleeves-rolled-up approach.
Our Values
Integrity
We act with honesty and transparency in everything we do.
Client First
We always consult instead of selling, put our clients’ interests ahead of our own, and are willing to give away the business to build long-term relationships.
Impact
We solve today’s challenges and build capabilities for tomorrow.
People First
We build leaders, teams, and cultures that thrive by honoring our clients’ work and putting their success at the center.
Courage
We tell the kind truth, enter the danger, challenge assumptions, and take the risks — even taking a bullet for the client when needed.
Vulnerability
We admit what we don’t know, ask the ‘dumb’ questions, make imperfect suggestions, and acknowledge our own limitations.
