Shipping Telegraph: Gibson joins forces with RMK Maritime to expand maritime finance offering

London-headquartered shipbroking firm E.A. Gibson Shipbrokers Ltd (Gibson) is joining forces with RMK Maritime (Europe) Ltd (RMK Maritime), a maritime finance, advisory and capital raising firm.

From 1 August, RMK Maritime will be rebranded as E.A. Gibson Capital, Gibson said in its statement on Monday.

The addition of RMK Maritime’s expertise enhances Gibson’s service offering and strengthens its maritime advisory capability.

Gibson, a 100% employee-owned company, with operations across seven international locations such as London, Houston, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Mumbai and Athens, delivers commercial broking, market intelligence, and advisory services.

“Bringing RMK Maritime’s expertise under the Gibson banner reflects our commitment to evolving with the market,” said Roger Harrison, managing director of E.A. Gibson, adding that this move strengthens their platform with deeper commercial and capital market insight.

Richard Moore, co-founder and former managing director of RMK Maritime, will take on the role of leading the new division as director, E. A. Gibson Capital. “We are excited to work with Roger and the Gibson team in developing the firm’s maritime finance capabilities to support the company’s strategic growth,” Moore said.
