Taylor Maritime Investments (TMI) is looking ahead to an "exciting" new chapter after completing London's first initial public offering by a shipping company in four years.

The bulker-owning spin-off of Hong Kong's Taylor Maritime said on Monday the deal had been upsized due to strong investor demand.

TMI chief executive Edward Buttery told TradeWinds: "We are very pleased that the hard work, the support from all those involved and a lot of luck has been rewarded with a listing."
