Four tanker brokers have resigned from shipbroker Braemar ACM to set up their own shop in 2018.

Miles Wright, Rafael Tomayo, Nobuyuki Kamehara, who all cover clean tankers, along with crude and dirty products broker Vadim Mytnik-Gonta have resigned from their positions to set up Sentosa Shipbrokers.

Shipbroking sources in Singapore say the quartet is expected to be boosted by two to three brokers from other outfits.
