Both maritime equity specialists from Noble Capital Markets have jumped ship to begin work at New York-based Alliance Global Partners (AGP).

TradeWinds has confirmed that AGP is the destination for shipping analyst Poe Fratt, and AGP said in a separate statement that it has welcomed Mark Suarez, who had led Noble’s investment banking efforts in the sector.

While neither man could be reached for comment ahead of TradeWinds’ deadline, shipping executives said they expected AGP would broaden its coverage of transportation and logistics including shipping names.
