Who We Are
Shippys.org is a by seafarers, for seafarers platform dedicated to sharing practical maritime knowledge, career advice, and real-world experiences. Founded by sailing seafarers, we bridge the gap between maritime professionals worldwide through Q&A discussions, expert articles, and community support – all completely free.
Our Mission
To empower seafarers at every career stage by:
✅ Providing accurate, experience-based guidance
✅ Creating a supportive global maritime community

Why We Exist
After decades at sea, our founders noticed:
🔹 New seafarers often learn through costly mistakes
🔹 Reliable, consolidated maritime resources are surprisingly scarce
🔹 The industry’s collective wisdom rarely gets documented
Shippys.org changes this by being the Wikipedia + Reddit of maritime knowledge – where questions get answered by those who’ve actually been there.
