Who is?

Hi. I am a shipping company director, transport academic, author, family man and all round nice guy. I have worked as shipbroker, shipowner, freight trader and bulk charterer, in senior positions, with some of the largest and most disrespected (joke) companies in the world. Ask my advice on all things shipping and you will receive my blunt and always honest answer. Hang around to learn more about chartering and ship broker salaries, chartering and ship broker jobs, chartering and shipbroker recruitment agencies, cheap freight, maritime education, chartering and ship broker qualifications, become a ship broker, tips on how to be a successful bulk shipping executive, philosophy, Zen and the art of shipbroking, and much more.

Baltic Dry Index (BDI) - Down 70 points

Down 70 Points to 2201. Market eased in all areas due mostly to the declining level of grain stems from South America. What many scribes fail to realise that although the BDI is a good general indicator of the strength of the world economy it is also subject to 2 major factors that are short term issues and have nothing to do with long term economic strength.

1. The cyclical nature of trade expecially with regards to agricultural products.
2. Stockpiling..

Yours
