Questions are being asked of shipbroker Braemar Seascope’s container desk following the departure of its departmental chief to a rival.

The desk has been dealt another blow with head of containers James Buck leaving to join Maersk Broker. Buck is quitting after 10 years with Braemar, including the past four years as director and head of its Singapore-based container desk.

His exit follows hot on the heels of its most senior boxship broker, Nick Hubbard, who quit in February after 18 months running the London side of its container desk.
