Marine Money President Matt McCleery has published his debut novel, The Shipping Man – perhaps the first work of ship finance fiction ever written.
In his Acknowledgments, Matt writes, “Over the past 25 years, it has been an honor and a privilege to report on, analyze and support the largely private business of capital formation for ships – and applaud the individuals who make the industry so fascinating and fun. The goal of this book is to capture the unique spirit of the shipping and ship finance business in a way that is, hopefully, both entertaining and educational.”

We are guided through the industry via protagonist Robert Fairchild, who decides to finally pursue his dream of owning a ship – “embarking on an odyssey into the most exclusive, glamorous and high stakes business in the world.”

The main reason the shipping prices go up in Ontario and throughout the world is because the gas prices go up. Thanks for sharing this information.
