Singapore’s Sentosa Ship Brokers has wasted little time expanding its fledgling Geneva office with five new hires from local rivals.

Ermanno Taschini and Christopher Crispu are joining from French shipbroker Barry Rogliano Salles, while Filiberto Senzioni has been recruited from Bravo Tankers.

Taschini will be focusing primarily on dirty petroleum products and Senzioni clean petroleum products in the handysize and MR tanker markets.
