Welcoming over 500 guests to a special reception, Clarksons Platou has celebrated the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Clarksons Platou Dubai in style at a venue overlooking the iconic Burj Al Arab in Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
In 2005, Clarksons, the world’s leading shipping services group opened the office in order to fully service its growing client base in the MEINA region. Initially focusing purely on the dry cargo market, the Dubai team has grown from a staff of two to more than 60 employees.
“Over the years we have worked in close partnership with our clients, developing long-standing relationships and as the local economies have diversified and clients’ needs changed, Clarksons Platou’s global network and unique product breadth has meant we can support them in new areas and shipping markets,” says Essam Bella, managing director Clarksons Platou Dubai. Today, the business concentrates on dry cargo and tanker chartering including both deep sea and specialised products, as well as offshore for the whole of the MEINA region.
Andi Case, chief executive of Clarksons said: “Clarksons Platou Dubai is an important cornerstone to our operations and acts as the hub for the MEINA region. Best in class client service is at the heart of our strategy and offering clients unique local support but with access to the Group’s product breadth and depth allows us to do that.”
