Our Founder
Nearly 33 Years of
Maritime Expertise.
Ray Hornosky Jr. founded North Harbour Shipping in 1994 after more than a decade in maritime operations — dispatching tugs, managing vessel logistics, and learning the industry from the ground up.
Today, the firm specialises in car carrier and bulk cargo brokerage, with a reputation built on integrity, precision, and long-term client relationships.
My job is to find the number that works for both sides. That's what keeps people coming back.
