Since 2007, Ship Shape IMO has provided a wide range of multi-compliant offshore supplies.
Specializing in cabin, restroom, hotel and consumables that meet global offshore compliance standards, we take pride in delivering high-quality products and exceptional customer service. Our extensive knowledge of worldwide offshore regulations allows us to ensure our offerings adhere to the latest requirements.
Our parent company, Ship Shape World Ltd, was founded in 2006 to offer bespoke cabin solutions for leisure yachts and motorboats. The company was started by avid sailors Paul and Angela Hallatt, who understood the unique needs and constraints of life onboard and sought to bring greater comfort to yacht interiors. Their initial designs of shaped duvets soon expanded to include luxury mattresses, upholstery, and unbreakable glassware.
Recognizing a significant demand for these types of products across the commercial marine sector, the Ship Shape team launched Ship Shape IMO to meet this need. Led by Matthew Nudd, the product range was expanded to ensure worldwide compliance with relevant regulations. In many cases, we obtained certifications for marine use on products that had never before been approved for such applications, giving shipbuilders, owners, and other offshore companies access to a wider range of compliant options.
As demand grew, the company continued to expand, relocating to a larger facility in 2017 and doubling its workforce to maintain the exceptional service its customers expect. In 2020, Matthew Nudd acquired Ship Shape World Ltd, and shortly after, the company opened a second storage facility. A year later, we unveiled our new showroom, the largest marine upholstery showroom in the UK.
Today, Ship Shape IMO remains committed to providing extensive knowledge and expertise in offshore compliance, including SOLAS IMO, UK MER Ensign, MED WheelMark, and more. Despite the changes brought by Brexit and evolving legislation, we ensure our product range consistently meets the highest quality and compliance standards to suit our customers’ unique requirements.
