About Leadex

Built on one of the world’s great shipping nations

Leadex is a B2B trade network connecting verified suppliers with buyers across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. We are rooted in Liberia — a country whose flag carries more of the world’s cargo than any other — and we work along the corridors our customers actually trade on.

Why Liberia

The largest ship registry in the world

Liberia has run an international ship registry since 1948. Today it is the biggest on earth by gross tonnage — the infrastructure of global trade is already Liberian, and that is the network we operate inside.

A container ship loading at port, with global trade routes overhead — More of the world’s tonnage sails under this flag than any other.

300M+

Gross tons under the Liberian flag

The first registry in the world to pass 300 million GT.

17%

Of the world’s ocean-going fleet

Roughly 6,000 vessels sail under the flag.

Largest ship registry on earth

Liberia overtook Panama by gross tonnage in 2023.

24%

Of the world’s container ships

The boxes that carry most traded goods.

A registry held to standards, not just size

The Liberian Registry is whitelisted by both the Paris and Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding on port state control, and Liberia sits on the IMO Council as a Category A member — the group of states with the largest interest in providing international shipping services. Scale and scrutiny together are what make the flag credible.

How we work

What we hold ourselves to

We check before we list

Legal status, trading capacity and export readiness are reviewed against real documents before a supplier appears on the marketplace.

We stay with the shipment

Every consignment is tracked leg by leg, through each transit point, not just origin and destination.

We answer as people

Businesses reach our team directly from their portal, and we reply there. No ticket maze.
