Our Story

Intermaritime
From the Inside

Intermaritime Group was officially established in 2005 by Engineer Santiago Torrijos Oro, together with a group of experienced maritime professionals, with a clear vision: to build a single provider capable of delivering every critical maritime service under one unified standard.

What began as a focused operation in Panama City has grown into an internationally recognized group with a global network of 150+ representative offices across 70 countries — serving shipowners, operators, manning agencies, insurers, and seafarers on every ocean.

«We are a group of companies committed to providing integral maritime solutions — with the proficiency and drive to deliver the best service possible.»

Santiago Torrijos Oro — Founder & Chairman, Intermaritime Group

Over two decades, our reputation has earned absolute authority and worldwide recognition in the maritime industry. We spare no effort to make working with us a memorable experience — not just because of what we deliver, but how we deliver it.

Today, Intermaritime Group operates through five specialized companies: ICS Class (classification), Intermaritime Legal Services (legal & registration), ICSurveys (independent surveys), AquaMercantil (insurance & reinsurance), and PMTS (maritime training) — all coordinated from Panama City, the world’s most strategically positioned maritime hub.
