Andi Case, Chief Executive Officer at Clarkson, accepted the 2015 Lloyd's List Deal of the Year Award for the merger of Clarksons and Platou. In his remarks, Case described the merger as a "complimentary fit" between the two businesses and said the decision to combine the heritage brands was not made easily but was compelled by the strategic aspects. He noted that the idea for the deal originated years earlier, after a strategic review of the business identified Platou as a standout target, and that the opportunity arose when Platou was seeking to acquire UK-listed companies. Case also discussed the company's approach to the cyclical nature of shipping, which he characterized as "multi cyclical." He stated that the group's strategy involves generating revenue across various market conditions, such as in the LCCs and tanker sectors, while supporting clients in more challenging markets like dry bulk or offshore. He emphasized that the company operates as a "principle risk-taking organization" and has focused on growing volume in every business line for six years, with a commitment to maintaining service during difficult markets.
