FleetPro Passenger Ship Management
FleetPro Passenger Ship Management was founded in 2012 as a merger of two existing passenger ship management companies and is based in Switzerland. It combined International Shipping Partners (ISP), a passenger ship management services company headquartered in Miami, Florida, United States, and River Advice of Basel, Switzerland. The majority owners became a Netherlands-based private equity fund.{{cite news|title=FleetPro Passenger Ship Management Establish the Leading Passenger Ship Management Company|url=http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=215824741|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140216013956/http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=215824741|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 16, 2014|accessdate=16 February 2014|newspaper=Bloomberg Businessweek|date=1 November 2012}} In January 2014, the two operations were renamed FleetPro Ocean and FleetPro River respectively.
