AGM Statement

AGM STATEMENT

 

Encouraging start to the year

 

At the Annual General Meeting to be held in London today, James Hughes-Hallett, Chairman of Clarksons, will make the following trading statement covering the period from 1 January 2017 to 11 May 2017:

 

"Our broking business continues to benefit from our best in class position in all markets, from the transaction volume flow the Company sees and from the data and market intelligence our technology investments provide to us and to our clients.

 

Whilst the average during the period of the ClarkSea index, which reflects earnings for the main vessel types in shipping, was similar to the same period last year, our broking business has seen increased spot negotiations during the period, helping to offset the lower forward order book from reduced period and newbuilding activity previously reported. This improvement reflects a general upturn in activity across most market segments and an increase in dry cargo rates.

 

Stronger global financial markets have also led to increased activity levels in our financial division, with our improved performance in the second half of 2016 continuing in 2017 to date.

 

Our port services business, negatively affected in recent years by the continued downturn in the North Sea oil and gas industry, remains challenged but is trading as expected.

 

Finally, demand for our industry-leading market insights, data and research is continuing to drive growth in our research business.

 

Overall, we are encouraged by the start we have made to the year and are trading in line with the Board's expectations."

 

Ends
