The International Maritime General Services or IMGS is a Maritime consultancy based in Ontario, Canada provide logistical support, project design, and cargo management services to local Canadian originators, traders, exporters and port authorities. IMGS group has grown with regional offices & technical facilities spanning over five continents and having operated in over 65 ports and inland locations worldwide.

Growth
In the early 1980's the Port of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia was overwhelmed by heavy congestion due to the development boom. IMGS was awarded contracts to assist local commodities importers to efficiently in excess of 6.35 million discharge their vessels and deliver cargo to customers in a timely manner. IMGS successfully designed and managed this project and over the next three years our team bagged and delivered metric tons of bulk cargo. This very modus operandi remains as an industry blueprint in the region. Through marketing but largely by word-of-mouth IMGS began receiving other contracts from numerous importers in the Middle East for bagging and cargo management of various commodities ranging from 10.000 metric tons to 150,000 metric tons.

Expansion
In 1992, IMGS expanded its operations globally providing our services to trading houses, shipping companies and humanitarian relief organizations. IMGS is the official World Food Programme (WFP) appointed

bagging/discharging contractors for select food aid shipments worldwide.
