RS Platou is lining up a takeover of rival broking shops as it looks to up its expansion drive, its CEO says.
Its move comes at a time when Platou is looking to rebuild its dry-cargo operation in Asia following the loss of several big names.
Platou chief Peter Anker told Reuters: “We are going to use this down cycle to increase our exposure to chartering in dry cargoes and containers, with a particular focus on Asia
“We have had approaches from a few well-run chartering brokerage companies - based both in Asia and Europe - that we have a dialogue with now.”
