Our Role as IAATO Associate Member

At Ushuaia Shipping, our role as an IAATO Associate is more than a designation—it’s a reflection of our deep commitment to responsible Antarctic operations.

Operating from the gateway city of Ushuaia, we work hand in hand with IAATO Operator Members to ensure every expedition meets the highest standards of efficiency, compliance, and environmental stewardship.

What this mean in practice

Proactive Compliance Support

We stay up to date with evolving IAATO protocols and provide our clients with on-the-ground guidance to ensure seamless adherence.

Reliable Port Operations

From permits to provisioning, we coordinate every detail with precision—minimizing delays, maximizing safety, and supporting sustainability.

Environmental Responsibility, Built-In

Our waste management systems, crew handling processes, and local partnerships are built around IAATO principles, because operating responsibly starts ashore.
