History

We began in Hong Kong in 1981 as Wardley Shipping Services, a wholly owned division of Wardley Holdings, the merchant banking arm of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. In 2001 we were rebranded as HSBC Shipping Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of HSBC Bank, one of the world’s leading financial services companies. Following a management buyout in November 2012 the company was renamed Hartland Shipping Services Ltd, with Hartland being retained to provide shipping consultancy services to HSBC on a global basis. We now have three offices: London, Shanghai and Singapore.
