Simpson Spence Young (SSY), one of the largest independent shipbroker, has strengthened its tanker desk by hiring two experienced brokers to bolster its London suezmax team.

The addition of Oliver Rae and Dean Abrahams brings the size of SSY's global team dedicated to the suezmax market to 17. Oliver Rae has 10 year's broking experience, with much of that time spent at Genesis Shipbrokers. Dean Abrahams has 15 years of broking experience and has worked at a range of shipbroking companies including Affinity and EA Gibson.

SSY's tanker teams are based in London, Singapore, Houston, New York, Madrid and Mumbai and offer the full range of deep-sea chartering and operational support services.
