Shipping News and information / British Ship Owners
« on: June 05, 2013, 06:48:30 PM »
Hi all.
I'm not a regular on here I know but I wondered if some of you would like to give comment/opinion on this topic as I am not connected to ship owners, charterers, brokers etc.
Given that Union Transport have gone bust, Charles M Willie are selling a couple of vessels for whatever reason and Faversham Ships have had a recently noted incident with Beaumont I wondered what the health of UK registered coastal cargo ship owners/operators is like. I'm particularly interested in UK ship companies given that I live in the UK and get occassional chances to see Torbulk operated and other vessels in local ports.
I know that shipping in general is not too perky but companies like Wagenborg seem to be making it pay so wondered how the UK companies were faring.
Any comments welcomed.
Thanks guys.
