To do this we need to access the highest quality market data in an efficient and timely manner. A multi license subscription to Clarksons data is a key tool in this process. A key step in the commercial strategy is to map commercial shipbuilding activity both in the UK and internationally and have up-to-date industry forecasts and protection. Access to Clarksons Shipbuilding forecast is the best way to continue and develop this profile and inform the commercial offer to our customers. Clarksons holds the largest amount of shipping market commercial data. It is the only supplier to hold real time extensive data on the entire global fleet including shipowners, operators and flag data.
