What International Ports & Shipping Services does

International Ports & Shipping Services S.L. (INTPSS), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Cádiz, Spain, is a privately held maritime and logistics services company operating through four offices in Cádiz, Algeciras, and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) and Singapore. The company delivers professional services across six integrated divisions: Cargo Transportation (air, maritime, and terrestrial), Maritime Services (vessel chartering, management, spare parts, and agency), Customs Agency (customs brokerage, documentation, inspections, and warehousing), Supply Chain Management, Storage and Distribution, and Shipping Agents / Port Logistics. It also offers specialized services including break bulk transport for oversized cargo, ship repairs and maintenance, and e-commerce fulfillment center operations.

The business model is B2B sales-led, targeting importers, exporters, shipping lines, shipowners, and project cargo operators. Revenue is generated through professional service fees on a quote-based, multi-year contract pricing model, with no public pricing disclosure. Services are delivered directly through company offices and operational teams, supplemented by content marketing (educational blog and LinkedIn) to drive top-of-funnel awareness and participation in maritime industry events. The firm maintains sponsorship and partnership relationships with established logistics players including DSV, Crane Worldwide Logistics, The Apollo Group, and TEFRA.

Technology is not a stated differentiator: the company describes its offering as "operational/logistical in nature rather than technology-driven," with no proprietary platform, API, or AI/ML capability disclosed. The corporate entity is a Spanish Sociedad Limitada (CIF B02951267) with no parent company, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and no institutional investor backing evident. Customer logos, contract values, revenue figures, and management team details are not publicly disclosed, and the reported headcount of 6 employees across four offices is inconsistent with the disclosed operational footprint.
