IML Marine Management Ltd was incorporated in 1989 and conducted its first business as Line Operators with a Tramp Liner Service to the Eastern Mediterranean. Things changed, however, when the first Gulf War created a demand for more Shipping services and IML took the opportunity to start a RoRo service to the Arabian Gulf. The company began acting as Shipping and Forwarding Agents, specialising in Truck, Plant and Construction Equipment Shipping – the speciality that IML has since become renowned for.
