"Shipping Man" Review Highlights Industry's Global Nature
The recent success of Marine Money's Dynasties of the Sea seems to have spurred a renewed interest in our company's first book, 2011's The Shipping Man.
The book was recently featured on the cultural website Glitterazi, and a section of the review highlights the truly global nature of the business:
Ships eschew the jurisdiction of one nation – perhaps United States Jones Act vessels are a slight anomaly to this, but that’s a story for another time. A vessel can fly the Panamanian flag, be registered under a legal entity formed in the United Kingdom, have a technical manager from Norway, a crew from lord knows where else, while working the West African coast. Even the countries of their flag of choice are often unheard of or landlocked – Tuvalu, Pictairn Islands, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Liberia.
Both The Shipping Man and Dynasties of the Sea are available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble online.
