The idea is for companies to add their own personal profile to the directory in order to network with other international shipping companies in the maritime industry. Whether you're looking for a ship owner, a ship broker, in dry or liquid cargoes, an agent, chandler, tug boat owner, or for that matter a legal representative, this is the place to be. In the directory itself (http://www.shiporacle.com/companies), you can look for shipping companies by country, port and/or by their role.
Once inside the profiles are well laid out, with a good description of the company/ http://www.shiporacle.com/companies/bengal-marine-ships-services--2 in this example, this agent located in Bangladesh, has a clear description of what his company's function is in the shipping industry.
The ability to message other shipping companies users for free is also a nice addition.
Therefor if you're looking for a good shipping directory, i strongly recommend checking out www.ShipOracle.com, and signing up for your own account at http://www.shiporacle.com/companies/new .
