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.

I should mention

I should mention that although shipbroking/chartering can be taught (in my opinion) fairly quickly, this by no means is supposed to be a slur on the Industry itself. Most products or services that can be broked / brokered, dont take years to learn. Just because a ship is HUGE in stature doesnt make the process of fixing it any more difficult that someone who is broking a financial / Insurance product or even selling a commercial building for that matter. The idea that it would take a realtor 3 years before they have enough skill to sell a house, or a mortgage broker 2 years to sell his first mortgage package - is a little ludicrous.

Shipping is a different ballgame but not all that different.

Something to think about

Yours
