Clarkson, the world's largest shipbroker, has reported record operating profits and revenue for the first half of the year, largely due to disruptions in global trade caused by the ongoing Iran war. The company's CEO, Andi Case, attributed the significant increase in earnings to the "exceptional volatility" and reshaped trade routes resulting from the conflict. While some industries face shortages and increased costs, Clarkson benefits from the heightened demand for its services in connecting ship owners with cargo holders amidst global shipping market dislocations.
