Clarksons executive Peter Anker has sold a portion of his shares in the shipbroker for the second time in as many months.

As was the case with Anker’s previous sale in August, his fellow former RS Platou investor Birger Nergaard has disposed of some of his stock at the same time.

Anker, who was chief executive of RS Platou when it merged with Clarksons in 2014, this week sold shares worth £1.42m
