Common perception is that shipbroking in France begins and ends with one major player — but dig deeper and there is plenty of activity involving companies that have been around for decades.
Likewise, France still has a cluster of shipowners, charterers and support industries ranging from marine insurance and finance to lawyers and arbitration.
The likes of Louis Dreyfus and Total have shifted parts of their operations abroad but the view that France is a spent force in shipping is wide of the mark.
