  • Two Shipping Plays for a Pirate Resurgent Era [View article]
    An interesting idea, and I commend your resourcefulness in finding a way to make money from piracy--other than engaging in it directly of course. :-)

    I'm not sure how well this would actually work, though. The difference in distance is not so great, the fuel-sales business has very low margins, and a spike in the price of oil would change the dynamics of the business much more than a change of routing.

    Now, if the route change meant a difference port of call for taking on supplies, and you could find a chandler at that particular port--that would be brilliant; but I expect these long-haul ships don't make local stops.
