Shipbroker Barry Rogliano Salles (BRS) is launching a tanker desk in Houston, headed by former Koch chartering manager Currie Evans.

Also recruited for the desk is head of operations Ronnie Autry, who previously worked with Stena and Laurin Maritime in Houston.

Andrew Rush and Nils Hansen, experienced brokers from BRS’ ­Geneva office, have moved to Houston to complete the initial four-man team.
