Several of the largest global players in the shipbroking industry choose Hong Kong as their regional base. It is a testament to the importance of Hong Kong as a shipbroking centre in Asia.

The ability of Hong Kong's shipbrokers to develop a broad base of business outside of Hong Kong and Hong Kong's role as a major cross-trading centre for business allow Hong Kong to retain a vibrant shipbroking community.

Hong Kong has excellent talent in shipbroking, both amongst local and expatriate shipbrokers to provide as good a service as is available anywhere. In addition, Hong Kong's shipbrokers have the added advantage of being more capable in understanding the clients' requirements by virtue of having a more-hands-on knowledge of the Asian market.

Besides, Hong Kong shipbrokers are accredited to numerous international bodies such as the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers and the Baltic Exchange.
