Shipbroker Koulis Theodorakakos, co-founder of Bulkers Shipbroking Co, has left the company, taking another four of its employees into a new shipbroking venture with him.

Anchor Shipbroking Inc, the new outfit he founded, has started operations in Piraeus.

Theodorakakos's partners in the venture are Michael Spiliopoulos, Kostas Theodorakakos, John Tsigaridis and Stavros Zaglakas – all formerly at Bulkers Shipbroking.

They are joined by Constantine Tzavelas, former head of the sale & purchase department at Golden Destiny, another Piraeus-based brokerage.
