Shownotes Transcript

Panic buying seems to be the trend of the moment, whether you’re stockpiling bathroom essentials amid coronavirus concerns, or making a grab for tanker tonnage amid an increasingly volatile oil price war – it’s all the same sentiment spooking markets.

If you’re trying to make sense of a crazy, confusing week in shipping, you’ve found the right podcast.
