Every industry has its movers and shakers, but few remain as personality driven as shipping. The fact that it is often called a small world may seem odd, given that more than 90% of world trade is carried by shipping and that, in terms of annual turnover, the industry is immense. But it rings true in the sense that many of the key figures in the shipping industry know each other. If they haven’t met, they certainly know each other by reputation.
