Shipping on choppy waters
Episode notes
We talk about shipping a lot on the podcast, and in this episode Ben is talking to the boss of Allseas shipping.
Darren Wright built the firm from the ground up from being a teenager. Allseas is now a huge company and can handle anything from oil and gas to retail goods.
Ben talks to Darren about:
* Starting in shipping at 17 years old
* For a start he was moving more oil and gas than he was furniture
* They now have offices all over the country and further afield
* How the big operators do business
* What happened when the shipping market crashed
* The difference between a rate agreement and a contract
* How world events mean that changes in shipping take time
* What rates might do next year
* How Darren will grow Allseas
* Will the likes of Amazon actually get into the market?
