OneOcean concluded four acquisitions, two divestments and a merger with the help of Equistone.

Equistone also supported OneOcean’s transformation from product distributor to software solutions firm.

LR Group CEO Nick Brown said: “OneOcean has grown phenomenally over the last 20 years to be a clear market leader, now joining the LR family provides a fantastic home for the next chapter of growth.

“Together we have the scale, reputation and expertise – combining both digital and advisory capabilities – to meet the challenges faced by the industry. This is an exciting move for OneOcean, LR and the wider maritime community.”

The transaction is awaiting regulatory clearance but is anticipated to conclude by the end of the summer.

Last month, the LR Maritime Decarbonisation Hub and its partners created ‘The Silk Alliance’ for the development of a Green Corridor Cluster.
