Shipbroker.is is a modern brokerage and online marketplace serving the maritime and fisheries industry in the North Atlantic and beyond. While we are best known for helping owners and buyers transact commercial vessels, our work extends to industry M&A, fishing quota brokerage, and related asset transactions where structure, discretion, and the right counterpart matter.

Shipbroker.is is owned and operated by Ingvi Þór Georgsson, an Icelandic entrepreneur with deep roots in the maritime and commercial sectors. Ingvi has extensive hands-on experience working with vessels, operators, and maritime businesses, and understands the practical realities behind vessel ownership, operations, and transactions.
His approach combines operational insight with a strong focus on structure, reliability, and long-term value creation — bringing a professional, execution-focused brokerage process to a sector that has traditionally relied on fragmented networks and closed channels.
Our purpose
Our purpose is straightforward: to make the process of buying, selling, and structuring transactions in the maritime and fisheries space more transparent, efficient, and accessible for owners, operators, and serious buyers.
The industry has historically depended on informal networks, limited visibility, and manual processes. Shipbroker.is was created to modernize that landscape by offering a centralized platform where verified listings, clear information, and qualified inquiries come together — while also supporting off-market transactions and more complex deal structures when needed.
What we focus on
Shipbroker.is supports transactions across the broader value chain, including:
- Vessel brokerage (commercial fishing vessels, workboats and utility vessels, offshore and coastal vessels, specialized and professional craft)
- M&A brokerage (buying and selling companies within the maritime and fisheries industry)
- Fishing quota brokerage and related rights
- Off-market opportunities where discretion and targeted buyer outreach are essential
By combining industry knowledge with digital infrastructure, Shipbroker.is helps sellers reach a broader international audience while giving buyers a reliable overview of available opportunities — without unnecessary friction.
Our approach
Shipbroker.is is built on three core principles:
Transparency
Clear listings, accurate data, and honest representation are fundamental. Buyers should understand what is being offered, and sellers should trust how their assets are presented.
Efficiency
Time matters. Our process is designed to reduce back-and-forth, streamline inquiries, and shorten the path from first interest to completed transaction.
Trust
In an industry where transactions are high-value and long-term relationships matter, credibility is essential. Shipbroker.is is operated by professionals with real maritime and commercial experience — not anonymous intermediaries.
We act as a digital bridge between sellers and serious buyers — not as a speculative listing site, but as a professional marketplace and brokerage partner.
Looking ahead
Shipbroker.is is continuously evolving. Our goal is to expand the platform’s reach, improve data quality, and introduce tools and processes that further simplify transactions for both buyers and sellers — across vessels, companies, and quotas.
Whether you are listing a vessel, exploring a company transaction, brokering quotas, searching for your next acquisition, or simply evaluating the market, Shipbroker.is aims to be a reliable, professional partner throughout the process.
