Our Story
Vantage Shipbrokers Pte Ltd was founded in April, 2012 to provide ship broking services to the tanker markets.
The company was the brain child of a group like-minded experienced brokers who wished to branch out on their own. From the inception (unlike small start-ups) we commenced operation with a team of over 20 members specializing in chemicals/dirty petroleum products/clean petroleum products.
As of 2022, Vantage Shipbrokers employs over 40 people, and have branched out to other tanker segments with an established Research & Advisory desk.
