Well-known Greek broker Dimitris Ioannou has launched a new sale & purchase (S&P) venture in Athens.

Glyfada-based Parallax Shipbrokers is set up as “a private and independent new firm with core focus on sale and purchase”, Ioannou said in a statement released to the shipping community earlier this week.

“The company is formed following my brief pause from shipping activities and as some might have expected I am now launching into a new chapter and challenge in my professional path,” Ioannou said.
