Two European tanker brokers join forces

Two European tanker brokers have joined forces with news Odin-RVB from The Netherlands is taking over Barcelona-based Iberica Tanker Chartering.

“As the shipping landscape continues to evolve, we recognize the changing demands and expectations of our stakeholders. This merger is yet another pivotal step in our long-term strategy to adapt, innovate, and continue as a comprehensive shipping solutions provider, equipped to offer a diverse range of logistics services,” the two companies stated in a release. 

Shipbroking has been through a decade of considerable consolidation including big names joining forces as well as niche, boutique houses bought out. Odin-RVB is itself the result of a merger five years ago between Odin Marine Europe and RVB Shipbrokers.
