The maritime industry is full of competing voices but not always home to much clarity of thought. The idea here is to present stuff that interests me, comment on news and opinions and provide some insight into issues that appear transparent but are actually rather less so. The opinions here will be my own and not those of my clients, though I will from time to time reference projects that I’m working on that I think are of wider interest. If you have news or opinions to share then feel free to contribute via a comment or the Twitter feed @MaritimeInsight or email me at maritimeinsight (at) live.co.uk. I’ll be pleased to hear from you.
