ILS assists ship owners and managers with locating parts and services.

"Our 1 month free trial with ILSmart proved extremely useful and the "1 click" search facility gives us a hassle free way to quickly and efficiently source vessel spares globally. We are now members. In addition, we can advertise and sell spares to a worldwide market with no hidden charges, no advertising fees and no commission."
- Stephen Broadbent, Isle of Man Steam Packet

"We are a Spanish company, ship owners and managers and are in charge of the repairs and maintenance of 5 vessels. Since 2003 we are subscribed to ILS and use it for the purchase of spare parts, and we must say that nowadays we have suppliers all over the world. It is a guarantee to buy spares to ILS subscribers and the database is very extensive and easy to use. Besides, ILS staff is very helpful and friendly and ready to assist when questions arise. And most important of all: we have saved thousands and thousands of Euros since we use ILS...."
- Ana Godderis, Naviera E. Tonning, s.a. / Santander / Spain

"ILS is easy to use and has tons of features that we can use. The Message Broadcast feature is the most useful tool for our business. The Supplier Directory allows us to find Distributors that carry rare spare parts, that are difficult to find through our usual channels. I really like the ability to advertise through ILS."
- Tadeusa Wilkicki-Director, Baltic Spares Service Ltd.

"ILS has proven to be an efficient way to locate spares which through normal channels were not possible. We have also used ILS to sell surplus spare parts instead of scrapping them. ILSmart.com is easy to use, and the feedback from suppliers and ILS personnel is good. A subscription can be recommended!"
- Susan Wraae Koefoed- Purchase Manager, Dannebrog Rederi AS

"We have used ILS for the last five years, and have found it a very useful tool for locating spare parts, especially on our older vessels.

"ILS usage has been a vital contributing factor in our successful growth and we will use ILS even more in the future. We need ILS because we will never cease to improve our service to our customers."
- L. Richard Alm-Managing Director, Motor-Service Sweden AB

"At one time we saw an inquiry on ILS for a special type of bearing. The bearing was for a vessel doing research on the South Pole. We knew where that type of bearing was and it was the last one in the world. The captain did not want to take any risk because a one-week delay would mean that the research had to be postponed for another year. So a special car drove through Europe to meet me at the airport at 5 o’clock in the morning. That morning I flew to South America, hand carrying this bearing. This was a nice project that showed both the usefulness of the ILS system as well as the joy of working in a well-organized flexible company striving to do the ultimate to satisfy our customers."
- Paul van Dijk-Senior Sales Engineer, Ruysch Technisch Handelbureau b.v.

"I’ve made many business contacts since using ILS, and have developed long-lasting relationships with other businesses as a result. Even though the Internet has made communications much easier, ILS is an indispensable tool connecting me with the right people within the marine industry, especially for difficult to locate items."
