A Launch to Redefine Seaborne Transport and Trade
In 1972, McQuilling first embarked on a determined voyage to challenge the maritime transportation industry with a differentiated and forward-thinking vision — one of deeper partnership, greater collaboration and strategic forecast innovation. From our first office in Battery Place, NY, and with contacts worldwide, seasoned maritime trade professionals, Tom McQuilling and John DeSantis, teamed up to meet an evolving market at its definitive sea-change moment. They read the shifting winds early on and charted a bold new course.
Through the 1980s and 1990s, McQuilling strategically broadened the partnership team and expanded its service offerings globally. Experts representing diverse disciplines across the maritime trade ecosystem were recruited, widening our coverage and extending services to key markets worldwide. The collection, analysis and timely application of actionable intelligence and market insight was becoming the new and leading currency in maritime trade. Realizing the power and transformative potential this new phase of the industry represented, an independent consulting, advisory and research group was soon formed, staffed and technology-equipped.

The Journey to Empower Our Crew and Capabilities
Riding the technology wave of the 2000s, McQuilling then launched breakthrough, next-generation, research, analysis and information-reporting models, raising the bar in shipbroking, advisory and seaborne trade once more. Such immediacy of real-time intelligence led to an unprecedented degree of customization in projects and services, driving the development of truly bespoke maritime trade solutions. Through innovative benchmarking and unbiased qualitative analysis, McQuilling yet again took the industry by storm.
More than 160+ team members later, spanning 10 offices, and counting, McQuilling now provides global reach with local touch across the world’s most influential ports of call. Strategic locations include New York, Houston, Athens, Brazil, Dubai, Lima, Madrid, Mexico City, Mumbai and Singapore.
