By ELEONORA MODDE, FONASBA General Manager, who writes:
“The 2025 year saw continued increases in FONASBA membership, as both national associations and private-sector shipping companies sought to join a federation that is increasingly recognised for its professionalism, influence and global reach.
We are happy to report a +13% in our overall membership!
Our leadership has placed great emphasis on broadening engagement through the new Extended Leadership Network, introduced earlier this year. The leadership teams within this structure representing Agency, Shipbroking,
Education & Quality looked deep at key areas such as : best practice, regional development, digitalisation, and membership matters—have already begun contributing to a wider and more agile operational capacity. As FONASBA grows organically, its new and well-structured leadership ensures the federation remains responsive to members’ needs and capable of delivering greater value across regions.”
