Shipping Markets: New Look

Dear Readers,

As you will no doubt have noticed our CEO, John N. Cotzias, has been co-hosting the "Shipping Report" on Channel9, Greece's business TV network. In order to keep in line with the spirit of analysis and reporting that NCS Consulting provides the Shipping Community at large, we have decided to give this Blog a new look:

We will no longer simply inform you of the articles that we find interesting.

We will now do the work for you!

We will read the articles and analyse them for you, so that you get the crux of the stories and the conjectures that we believe can be derived from these. We are not going to pretend we know what the market will do in the future; as the last few years have shown, anyone attempting that feat is more likely pretending to know what he is talking about. We will try and provide the most logical conclusion from what we read, in order for you to get the most useful information as quickly as possible without you having to do any of the legwork.

Why, you ask, we would provide this information with what seems like "No strings attached"? Well, we believe in cooperative competition. "Game Theory" teaches us that cooperating will provide a better outcome for all parties involved. We are not afraid to tell people how we think and what we believe, since quality can not be duplicated... only imitated!

We believe that if your business goes well, so will ours!


So here's to productivity and profits, in a market that seems to have them elude us.

See you all next time.....

Best Regards,
