Shipping

In May 2007, after a successful joint venture in freight derivatives, ICAP acquired J E Hyde, one of London's oldest shipbrokers. This was followed by the acquisition of Capital Shipbrokers in 2008 and the formation of ICAP Shipping. Offering a spectrum of shipping services, including dry and wet cargo chartering, sale and purchase, freight derivatives, research and operations, ICAP Shipping operates out of London, Copenhagen, Gibraltar, Hamburg, Shanghai, Singapore and Athens.

ICAP Shipping’s Freight Derivatives desk combines strong financial brokerage experience with focused knowledge and insight into freight derivative procurement and marketing. Our industry expertise allows us to source, market and facilitate transactions of standard and non-standardised specifications and deliveries.

The shipbroking sector has changed dramatically over the past few years and interest has deepened. ICAP Shipping is in a strong position to further the global reach and opportunities for customers in these rapidly growing markets.

The combination of the shipbroking expertise of J.E. Hyde and Capital Shipbrokers with ICAP’s proven track record for broking complex global markets creates a business with over 130 years of shipbroking experience, an unrivalled contact book and exceptional market knowledge.
