Braemar ACM has hired a trio of panamax brokers from Barry Rogliano Salles (BRS) in a move which has led to stringing criticism from the Paris-based company’s chairman Tim Jones.

Jones confirms three panamax dry cargo brokers from BRS’ Singapore office have left to join Braemar—Martin Gouzer, Charles Shang and Casper Panton.

Handysize broker Jason Xu is also set to depart BRS to join Thailand’s Thoresen Shipping.
