More than 135 years in the same ports.
JFM Shipping was founded in Funchal in 1888 by João de Freitas Martins. Five generations later, it remains a family company, working the same ports, under the same name, with the same standard. Few agencies anywhere can say the same.
Heritage
From a single shipping business in 1888 to the agency we are today, five generations of continuity in Madeira's ports.
Quality
ISO 9001 certified since 2002, the first agency in Madeira to achieve it, with a client satisfaction score of 9.82 out of 10, independently audited by Bureau Veritas.
Sustainability
Practical steps in our own operation, and respect for the protected waters we work in.
Our team
The people who know these ports, the authorities and the schedules, and who answer when you call.
What stays the same
Same ports. Same team. Same name since 1888. That continuity is the whole point, it is why a call with JFM carries no learning curve and no handover risk.
