CLARKSONS THE HEART OF GLOBAL SHIPPING... HOME ABOUT US SERVICES INVESTORS NEWS CAREERS OFFICES CONTACTS ABOUT US/ WHAT WE DO 163 YEARS 48 OFFICES 1448 EMPLOYEES WORLDWIDE 20 COUNTRIES Shipping powers the global economy, transporting raw materials and finished goods into homes, plants and factories worldwide. Around 95% of world trade is carried on ships – equivalent to more than a tonne of cargo for every individual on the planet, every year. The world's leading provider of integrated shipping services, we work with our clients to achieve their business objectives across all aspects of this complex and dynamic business. Our strategy is to offer clients a truly 'best in class' integrated global service, across broking, finance, support and research, in all key shipping and offshore sectors. Andi Case Chief Executive Officer No organisation can match the breadth, talents or track record of the Clarksons broking capability - which is simply the most respected and successful in the maritime sector. Our brokers bring together companies with cargo to ship (charterers) and those with vessels capable of shipping it (owners). In short, our expertise helps make the transaction happen. Our clients move dry cargoes (iron ore, coal, grains etc) and wet cargoes (crude and refined oil and oil products), raw materials and finished products, gases and oils, chemicals and molasses... goods that any school student would recognise and many more that they would not. We transact business in every size of ship - from small units to those so large that they could not only swallow several football pitches, but complete stadia as well. These vessels criss-cross the oceans on the world's great arteries of trade, with every nautical mile managed and overseen by our team of around 1500 professionals in 48 offices worldwide. From derivative products that have been pioneered at Clarksons to full investment banking services and tailored debt solutions, we also provide best-in-class financial services. Our role is to help clients identify and manage risk, fund transactions and bring deals to life that would often be impossible via more traditional routes. Our research team is respected worldwide as the most authoritative provider of intelligence on global shipping and the offshore sector. With more than 70 full-time researchers we collect, validate, analyse and manage an incredible amount of data to inform the key business decisions that shape our industry. No other maritime research organisation can rival the breadth or depth of our products or the reputation of our team.
