Braemar ACM Shipbroking has hired four product tanker specialists from rival Lightship Chartering in a move that will bring a fresh team to its new Geneva office.

The shipbroking division of London-listed Braemar Shipping Services, revealed the new hires five months after announcing its plans to set up shop in the Swiss city.

The new team is headed by William Bebb, who spent four years as a partner at Geneva-based Lightship Chartering after six years in the same city as a broker for Clarksons.
