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.[1] In January 2014, the two operations were renamed FleetPro Ocean and FleetPro River respectively. The company was bought out in November 2015 and later rebranded into CMI Leisure,[2] which was then bought by Anglo-Eastern Leisure Management in March 2023, becoming Anglo-Eastern Cruise Management.[3]
Management and administrative services provided include deck and engine manning, maintenance, drydockings,[4] inspections, conversions, upgradings and volume purchasing.[5]
