McQuilling and IFCHOR join forces in Latin America

Shipbrokers McQuilling and IFCHOR have formed a Latin American dry bulk chartering joint venture.

McQ-IFCHOR will be led by Jean Magot from McQuilling’s Lima, Peru office.

John Schmidt, CEO of McQuilling, said, “McQ-IFCHOR is a bold and exciting move by both companies. Our joint venture with IFCHOR is consistent with McQuilling’s long term expansion program of joining with a valued partner in a strategic market.”

Manu Ravano, CEO of IFCHOR, said, “We firmly believe that a combination of IFCHOR’s dry bulk expertise, competitiveness and connections and McQuilling’s Latin American history and presence will deliver clients with a highly effective shipbroking solution. The Latin American market, especially in terms of cargo, continues to grow and this partnership with McQuilling will enable us to provide our clients with greater access to the region.”
