Shipping Investment Advisory

He has a strong reputation for relationship-building, critical problem-solving and delivering on customer commitments. He focuses on the tanker spot market, long-term time charter market, second-hand Sale & Purchase and newbuilding contracts.
Florian began his career in shipping in 2003 as Financial Controller at Hamburg Süd and then moved to structuring closed-end shipping funds with a leading German KG-House responsible for the total fund lifecycle. Since joining Braemar in 2011, he has successfully advised his worldwide clients on maritime restructurings, capital raises and transactions.
Jona has worked in shipping for almost 30 years, spanning several sectors and specialising in newbuilding for more than two decades. After heading up the S&P Projects desk at MJLF, he returned to the UK to run a successful boutique NB Projects brokerage before joining Braemar to lead the current new build team.
