Andre Berry
Director, SSY Futures (and Chair of Tanker FFA Brokers' Association)
Andre Berry started as a trainee in the dry cargo P & O ship broking arm Anderson Hughes in London for 3.5 years working in many fields from loggers to bulk parcelling of steel products and grain before moving to help set up the chartering desk for the company in Hong Kong. Next was a move to Clarkson's Asia HK for 3 years to focus in chartering of panamax bulk carriers. Deciding to return to London he joined Channoil a small boutique oil house specialising in physical crude oil sales dealing with all the majors and trading houses for sour crudes for 5 years. The clear importance of freight in the oil trading equation prompted an exciting move to join SSY Futures to help build the wet team this involved a 3 year stint to establish the Singapore desk and build relationships using many old oil connections. He returned to the SSY London desk in December 2007 as a director and is the Chairman for the Tanker FFABA this year. He is a Fellow of the Institute of chartered shipbrokers and FSA registered.
