Peter Anker’s investment company Langebru returned to a more typical financial performance last year but still achieved a profit margin of almost 40%. 

In 2015, the company logged a pre-tax profit of NOK 133m ($16.6m) after the former RS Platou chief sold one-third of his shares in UK-listed broker Clarksons. But in 2016, the figure was NOK 5m on revenue of NOK 13m.
