Sterling Messenger Placement is a New York-based company that operates a forum for individuals interested in merchant marine shipping. Established in 1930 by Henry Mercer, the company initially chartered foreign flagged vessels before developing scheduled liner services. They offer a platform for ex-crew, ex-passengers, and ex-employees to connect, share information, and search for old shipmates.
After World War II, States Marine Corporation, the parent company of Sterling Messenger Placement, bought surplus vessels at low prices and continued to charter both U.S. and foreign tonnage. They pioneered the simultaneous operation of U.S. and foreign flagged ships, adjusting their fleet size to meet market demands and maximizing profits. With a rich history in the maritime industry, States Marine Corporation remains a prominent player in the shipping sector.
