Howe Robinson Partners

Howe Robinson Partners, domiciled in Singapore, is one of the largest privately owned shipbroking houses in the world, with over 330 employees including more than 200 brokers across a global network of offices.

The Howe Robinson Group of companies can trace its origins to the foundation of Howe Robinson and Co Ltd in the City of London in 1883. They provide comprehensive shipbroking services to their global client base in the tanker, containership, dry bulk, LNG, and Offshore markets. Their brokers are active in newbuilding contracting, sale and purchase, demolition, and charter, as well as in providing valuation and market research services.

The company has grown organically and through a number of acquisitions including the businesses of Lambert Bros, Killick Martin, Erlebach Shipbrokers, R. B. Hunt and Partners, Angus Graham and Partners, and Shyvers Savoy Shipping Ltd. In April 2015, the Howe Robinson businesses merged with ICAP Shipping, incorporating the businesses of Capital Shipbrokers, Island Shipbrokers, and J E Hyde to form Howe Robinson Partners. In 2019, they acquired BBT, a New York based dry cargo shipbroking business.

Howe Robinson Partners is wholly owned by its employees, over half of whom are shareholders.

Overall, Howe Robinson Partners has a rich history dating back to 1883 and has experienced growth through acquisitions and mergers. Their strong global presence and expertise in the shipbroking industry make them a significant player in the logistics and delivery sector.
