ISHIMA was founded in July 2005, under the D’Amico group. Traditionally a family business in Italy, D’Amico has been operating for over fifty years. Today, ISHIMA manages 25 ships and supervises the construction of seventeen more.  
The name Ishima is an acronym derived from the phrase International Ship Management. ISHIMA is a privately owned company headquartered in Singapore, endorsed by Italian Ship owning group D'Amico, providing a service that is ideally apt to fit the needs of the 21st century ship owner.
With its headquarters in Singapore, Vision encompasses a voyage of expansion, which will be constant, continuous and well constructed. Singapore allows closer proximity to major shipping routes. This provides us with opportunity to make full use of the human resources and marine services available to us.
At ISHIMA we are equipped with systems that deliver the most cost effective ship management solutions, with crucial significance given to a safe atmosphere, life and environmental protection.
