Shipping Matters

After almost a decade in the doldrums, the tide turned for the Sale and Purchase (S&P) market in 2020. Fast forward to today and we see a very different picture - with full orderbooks, full shipyards and considerably higher vessel prices. In this episode of Shipping Matters, SSY’s Toby English, Ben Pusey and Michael Mervyn Jones and special guest George Panayides (CEO of NS Lemos & Co Ltd.) examine the underlying factors that have driven this turnaround and discuss how long can this upward trend continue.Panellist contact details: George Panayides,CEO, NS Lemos & Co Ltd.E: gtp@nslemos.comToby EnglishPartner & Global Head of Sale & Purchase, SSYE: t.english@ssyglobal.comBen PuseySenior Director, Sale & Purchase, SSYE. b.pusey@ssyglobal.comMichael Mervyn-JonesDirector of Communications & Marketing, SSYE: m.mervyn-jones@ssyglobal.comAbout SSYEstablished in 1880, SSY has grown to become one of the biggest and most trusted names in broking, operating around the world via its 24 local offices – with over 500 experts covering a range of major markets including Dry Cargo, Tankers, Derivatives, LNG, Sale and Purchase, Offshore, Chemicals, Towage and Ship Finance.
