Clarksons Platou has strengthened its operations in Geneva with the return of a specialized products desk to the Swiss shipping city.

Van Vardas will move from London to head up the Geneva team in the Clarksons Platou Shipbroking (Switzerland)’s office on Rue de la Fontaine.

The shipbroker explains the move comes in response to changing market conditions and adds to its deep sea tanker and dry cargo operations at the office.
