Clarksons dropping Platou name seven years after shipbroking takeover

UK shipbroking group Clarksons is to retire the RS Platou name in its companies seven years after taking over the Norwegian shipbroker.

Since the acquisition in 2015, Clarksons’ broking and financial divisions have used the combined brand Clarksons Platou.

“Now that all teams are fully integrated, we have decided to align the branding of all businesses within the group by referring to just Clarksons,” the London-listed group said in its 2021 results statement.
