Potentially disruptive technology???? I see that BHP are now using electronic auctions to charter the ships they use to carry ore. I wonder if the world of ship broking will be disrupted by this development and whether it will have an impact on Clarkson long term?

nice interims in tough conditions Panmure update on research tree: "Clarkson reported underlying profit before taxation for 1H16 of £21.8m on revenue of £147.2m generating underlying EPS of 52.9p. That result was 10% ahead of our 1H16 EPS forecast and within 3% of the 1H15 result. Given how challenging the industry background has been, we regard that as a very positive result. The interim dividend was unchanged at 22p, but we continue to anticipate that Clarkson will increase the FY16 dividend by 2p per share YoY to 64.0p. Net funds available to shareholders increased YoY to £46.7m (1H15 £41.3m) and Clarkson stands to receive approximately £12.6m in dividend and sale receipts from the disposal of its interest in the Baltic Exchange in 2H16."

better than solid This stock always flies (sails?) under the radar but not unhappy with that as over 30% up in a few months in an essentially flat market over the period. Not quite sure what has been driving (steering?) it this week.
