“Can a 175-year-old port agency business become the end-to-end digital operating system for global maritime port calls — including payments, disbursement accounts, and liquidity management?”
Founded in 1847 as a traditional port ship agency, ISS evolved over 175+ years into a global maritime services and digital solutions provider. Following its 2022 acquisition by private equity firm Epiris, ISS accelerated its digital transformation — launching the OneCape suite to digitise and outsource disbursement account (DA) management and port call operations. The embedded finance angle centres on treasury modernisation: managing cash flows and pre-funding across 550+ bank accounts in over 60 countries, and increasingly digitising the payment and auditing processes that underpin global port calls.
Inchcape Shipping Services is founded in 1847 and headquartered in 60 Fenchurch Street, London, England, EC3M 4AD.
