Greece’s Matsas family has added another string to its shipping business with the launch of a new sale-and-purchase brokerage.

Matsas Shipbrokers is the brainchild of Loukia Matsa, Ioanna Matsa and Marina Doukas, the fifth generation of the family to be active in shipping. The new outfit aims to be involved in newbuildings, secondhand deals and the demolition market, Ioanna says.
