“A large and increasing number of our clients are based in Switzerland and about 10-15% of our business is done with Swiss-based clients” says Peter Borup, President of Lauritzen Bulkers.

“The proximity to clients with a strong trading mindset like ourselves is important not only in terms of sharing knowledge but also in terms of refining our service offerings.”
