Vantage Corp Further Expands Asia-Pacific Presence with Two Additional LOIs to Acquire a Hong Kong and Mainland China-Based Shipbroking Firm
SINGAPORE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Vantage Corp (NYSE American: VNTG) (“Vantage” or the “Company”), a shipbroking company providing comprehensive services including brokerage, consultancy, and operational support in the tanker market, announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vantage (BVI) Corporation, has signed two additional non-binding Letters of Intent (LOI) to acquire a Hong Kong and Mainland China-based firm specializing in shipbroking and maritime services.
Following the recently announced planned acquisition of a Singapore-based shipbroking company, these two new LOIs represent the Company’s first formal step toward establishing an operational hub in the Greater China region. This move reflects Vantage Corp’s strategic vision to create a tri-hub model across three key maritime centers in Southeast Asia (namely Singapore, Hong Kong, and Mainland China), firmly positioning it at the core of the region’s most vital shipping and trade corridors. These latest LOIs align with the Company’s broader growth strategy, which focuses on acquiring established shipbroking firms to expand into new geographic markets while simultaneously strengthening its operational capabilities and service offerings.
“These planned strategic acquisitions mark a significant milestone in our long-term strategy as we expand into key maritime markets in Southeast Asia,” said Vantage Corp CEO Andresian D’Rozario. “Establishing a presence in the Greater China region is a critical step toward realizing our vision of a tri-hub operational model across Asia, anchored in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Mainland China. This move not only strengthens our geographic footprint but also positions us to better serve our global client base across key trade routes. By integrating our expanding Asia operations with our growing and scaling presence in the Middle East, we are creating a unified and scalable business that enhances operational efficiency, deepens market penetration, and enables us to capture synergies across regions. Looking ahead, M&A will continue to remain central to our strategy, with plans to enter the United States and European market.”
Each LOI outlines a framework for the potential acquisition of the respective companies, subject to the completion of customary due diligence, regulatory approvals, and the execution of definitive agreements. In line with Vantage (BVI) Corporation’s confidentiality obligations, further details will be disclosed upon finalization of definitive agreements.
