UK shipbroking giant Clarksons has revealed a bigger loss for 2020 after taking a £60.6m ($84m) impairment on its securities and offshore business.

The company said shipping's capital markets and energy demand were "severely affected" last year by the Covid-19 pandemic.

A spokeswoman told TradeWinds that the write-down was linked to a review of the goodwill from the acquisition of RS Platou in 2015.
