Interferry43

For more than 40 years, Interferry has served as the shipping association representing the ferry industry worldwide.

What began as an organization that largely facilitated networking among our members, has transformed into a highly respected global association with more than 230 members from 37 countries. Today, Interferry not only continues to support networking among our members, but also has a laser-like focus on the safety and security of passengers, crew, cargo and ships. We also ensure that fair and equitable regulations exist for the ferry industry, including free, fair and open competition, as well as the protection of the environment.

Interferry has a long-standing commitment to support enhanced safety for domestic ferry transportation in the developing world. We are an organization that is growing steadily and today focuses on extending membership to operators in geographic areas currently under-represented among our membership.

Our members benefit from receiving regular and frequent updates on issues of importance to the ferry industry, as well as direct access to the regulatory and policy decision-making process at the IMO, where we hold consultative status.

Access to networking opportunities with others in the ferry industry through our annual conference, and participation in other events, provides our members with tangible opportunities to share information, interests and stories and learn in real time from the experience of other ferry operators, shipbuilders, suppliers and associated sectors.
