Company overview

Clarkson PLC operates globally, delivering a full spectrum of shipping services. The company's operations are structured into four key divisions: Broking, Financial, Support, and Research. The Broking division acts as a vital link between ship owners and charterers for the worldwide transport of diverse cargoes, and between buyers, sellers, and shipyards for vessel sale and purchase transactions. It also engages in futures broking. This segment's activities cover a vast array of maritime sectors, encompassing container, deep-sea tanker, and dry bulk shipping, specialized carriers for gases (LPG, ammonia, LNG), offshore operations, petrochemical transport, renewable energy logistics, shortsea routes, and niche product services, in addition to vessel sales and purchase, towage, salvage, and general transportation markets. The Financial division offers specialized investment banking services for the maritime, oil services, and natural resources industries. It arranges structured asset financing for projects across shipping, offshore, and real estate, and provides freight derivative products. Additionally, this segment manages equity and fixed-income sales and trading, conducts in-depth equity and credit research, facilitates corporate access, and delivers corporate finance advice, including guidance on equity and debt capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Support division provides critical ancillary services to the marine and offshore sectors, such as port agency, freight forwarding, and the supply of essential equipment and tools. The Research division is dedicated to collecting, validating, analyzing, and managing comprehensive shipping-related data to underpin informed business decisions, offering a range of valuable information and publications. Its resources include digital platforms like the Shipping Intelligence Network and World Fleet Register, as well as print publications such as Shipping Intelligence Weekly and Offshore Intelligence Monthly. This segment also delivers data and analytical support for IPOs and bond issues, provides customer service contracts primarily to financial institutions, government agencies, insurers, equipment providers, and shipbuilders, and conducts valuations for vessel owners and the financial community. Furthermore, it offers research and legal services. Established in 1852, Clarkson PLC's headquarters are located in London, United Kingdom.
