Notes to Editors
ACM is one of the world's principal shipbrokers, providing a full range of integrated ship broking services for the global market. It is widely recognised as a market leader in oil transportation. The Group's key activities are spot freight brokerage, time charter and project brokerage, sale and purchase, new buildings, demolition and derivatives brokerage. In June 2010, the Group expanded its offering into dry cargo through the acquisition of the business of Endeavour Shipbrokers Pty Limited and has also recently set up a new dry cargo venture in London. This is in line with ACM's stated strategy to become an integrated global ship broking services provider.
Established in London in 1982, the Group has since expanded its international operations with offices based in London, Singapore, Dubai, India, Australia and China. ACM employs over 155 brokers and support staff who provide clients with global experience and intimate local knowledge of the world's shipping centres. The Group has a strong network of clients which include major oil producers, independent oil traders, ship-owners and operators. The business has been profitable every year since it was founded.
