Seafarers are making a strong showing in TradeWinds’ Photographer of the Year contest but there is still time to get an entry in before the 1 December deadline.

German shipping fund manager, Holger Laufer, made good use of a trip to China to photograph delivery of some of the vessels for which he had raised equity.
