A fresh batch of students from the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) are celebrating completing their diplomas and professional qualifying exam (PQE).

The ICS results for those who took their examinations in November show that 86 students gained their PQEs, with 21 picking up advanced diplomas and nine foundation diplomas.

ICS director Julie Lithgow told TradeWinds that numbers for those taking these qualifications were down slightly for the second year running.
