Clarkson PLC: what insiders have been doing
Clarkson PLC, founded in 1852, is a Industrials company based in London, United Kingdom. Its directors and officers file their transactions with RNS (LSE). The last twelve months, up to 21 October 2026, brought 17 filings signed by 5 insiders.
Both sides are active: 4 purchases worth €146k and 4 sales worth €4.5M, from 2 insiders and 2 insiders respectively. No amount is published for 3 filings, which the totals therefore leave out. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. The buyers include 2 board members. The largest single trade was a sale of €3.3M by Jeffrey David Woyda, published on 15 May 2026, equal to 0.23% of the market capitalisation.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 831 companies) published 6 filings over the same period, against 17 filings here. Looking back to 2016, when coverage begins, insiders filed 22 purchases and 18 sales.
The most recent open-market purchase was published on 18 June 2026, 125 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 1 day after it takes place. Under the UK Market Abuse Regulation, managers have three business days to notify their trades.
This summary is built from RNS (LSE) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.

About Clarkson PLC
Clarkson PLC is a leading international maritime services and broking group listed on the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 100/250/AIM) in the United Kingdom, trading under the ticker CKN.L. Founded in 1852, the company began as a shipping broker and has evolved into an integrated maritime services platform spanning broking, financial services, research, port services and technology. Its headquarters are in London, at the centre of the UK’s maritime ecosystem, and its operational footprint is global, with 68 offices across 25 countries and more than 2,250 specialists. Clarksons sits at the heart of global shipping, connecting shipowners, charterers, investors, operators and energy and trade participants with the information and execution capabilities they need in complex, cyclical markets. Its core broking franchise covers ship chartering, vessel sales and purchases, cargo broking and freight derivatives, including hedging and risk-management solutions. The group’s research arm, Clarksons Research, is a key differentiator: it provides maritime market intelligence, data and analysis used by clients across the shipping ecosystem, while Clarksons Securities adds advisory and financing capabilities tied to shipping and offshore markets. This combination of transactional broking, proprietary research and local market presence gives Clarksons a strong competitive position, particularly where market insight, deal execution and long-standing relationships matter most. Geographically, the company has a broad international reach across Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America and the Middle East, and it has continued to expand its local coverage through new offices and targeted acquisitions. Recent strategic highlights include the January 2026 acquisition of Zuma Labs, a technology provider focused on forward freight agreements and commodities markets, which should strengthen Clarksons’ digital and AI-enabled trading toolkit. In 2025, the group also expanded its derivatives offering by launching a dedicated Container FFA desk, underlining its ability to develop products around emerging market demand. More recently, Clarksons has continued to pursue selective acquisitions and footprint expansion, including strengthening its presence in Dubai and the US. Its 2025 annual results pointed to a resilient business model, supported by solid underlying profitability, a strong balance sheet and another dividend increase, reinforcing the group’s reputation as a cash-generative market leader in maritime services.
