As a full-service ship brokerage, Windward focuses on the global transport of bulk cargoes.
We are seasoned industry professionals and our knowledge and connections run deep and wide.
Our Story
Windward set sail in 2017 with a strong team of shipping professionals and an equally strong commitment to the highest customer service and business standards. With our first customer, International Materials Inc, we got off to a strong start and we’ve been busy building ever since, growing Windward into a nimble and innovative industry leader.
Our Ethos
We pride ourselves on putting people first. We believe relationships and trust form the foundations to great business. Our team are our most important assets and we nurture an office culture that gets the best from our people and ultimately the best for our clients.
As a member of the Baltic Exchange, we operate according to the Baltic Code’s principles of ethics.
We are also proud to be members of the World Ocean Council.
The WOC believes that responsible and coordinated Ocean Business Community efforts are essential to a healthy and productive global ocean and its sustainable use, development and stewardship by a responsible Ocean Business Community.
As part of our sustainability program, we are planting 1 tree around the world, for each fixture that we make every month. This means that we are taking climate action and directly contributing to nature restoration with every fixture that we make. We chose to collaborate with Ecologi, as they take a holistic approach to landscape restoration, by working with 11 trusted reforestation partners across 18 countries, funding projects that go far beyond simply putting trees in the ground. Work is done with local communities to ensure that ecosystems thrive, the trees that are planted actually survive and people benefit for generations to come. Projects are designed to support biodiversity, long-term forest health and local livelihood, not just short-term planting targets. We are excited to fund these high-quality tree-planting projects, with verified impact and transparent reporting, that supports our sustainability goals.
