HSBC Bank plc, a wholly
owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc, has agreed to sell HSBC Shipping
Services Limited (‘Shipping Services’) to members of its current senior
management team (‘the management team’). Shipping Services provides ship
broking and consultancy services and, as at 30 June 2012, had consolidated
gross assets of US$6.8m.
More broadly the HSBC Group
provides a full range of banking products and services to the shipping industry
and these (non-broking and associated consultancy) services will continue to be
provided by HSBC post disposal.
Shipping Services, which
will be renamed Hartland Shipping Services Limited (‘Hartland’) on completion,
will be acquired by a new company established for the purpose by the management
team.
A consultancy agreement will
be entered into under which Hartland will provide shipping-related valuation
and consultancy services to the HSBC Group on a global basis.
The sale represents further
progress in the implementation of the HSBC Group’s strategy and is expected to
complete in the fourth quarter of 2012. Source: HSBC Holdings Plc.
