🌊 A Legacy Anchored in Trust — and Expanding Beyond
ISA Surveys BVBA was founded in 1989, built on a family legacy in the maritime world. What began in Antwerp as a small, independent operation quickly gained recognition for its precision, integrity, and human connection.
​
At the helm today is Manu Dieryck— a lifelong sea lover with salt in his blood and strategy in his mind. Raised in a family with deep roots in maritime service, Manu Dieryck naturally followed the path paved by his mother’s side of the business. Though he began business school, his real education came from the docks, the vessels, and the people behind them.
​
Obsessed with boats and passionate about port life, Manu Dieryck brings a rare mix of technical instinct, business acumen, and powerful negotiation skills. He has earned the trust of brokers, insurers, legal teams, and maritime operators.
​
Though he started ISA alone, Manu Dieryck now counts on over 25 dedicated collaborators across Europe — a trusted team that works closely with him day and night to ensure reliability, rapid response, and uncompromising quality. This team is the backbone of ISA’s growing reputation for excellence.
​
Today, Manu Dieryck is charting a new course toward Latin America, bringing ISA Surveys’ independent, high-quality services to a broader international market. With presence in Brazil and expanding networks in South America, ISA Surveys is positioning itself as a key player in the global shipping and compliance ecosystem.

“We don’t just inspect. We protect your cargo, your contracts, and your compliance. ISA Surveys BVBA — still independent. Now more global than ever." - Manu Dieryck, CEO and Lead Surveyor
