How we work

Our desk monitors a curated set of reliable industry sources. Candidate stories are screened for relevance and editorial suitability, and constructive, commercially useful developments are prioritised. Articles are written as original editorial summaries with clear attribution to the original source; AI assistance is used for drafting under human editorial review and is disclosed on every article. We do not publish allegations, rumours or unverified claims, and we do not rewrite negative news as positive news.

Market data

Where freight index or rate figures appear, they are presented as editorial context with a named source and an "as of" timestamp. Figures may be delayed or indicative and are never a basis for trading decisions. See the Market Data Disclaimer.
