Electronic chartering of ships is feasible, but BRS chairman Tim Jones questions whether the market has an appetite for it.
“I think electronic chartering will take place but I don’t think it will be tomorrow and I don’t think the market is there yet or wants it,” he tells TradeWinds during an interview at the shipbroker's Paris headquarters.
Jones says he reads with disbelief people claiming they are going to blow everyone out of the water with on-screen fixing of vessels because the shipping industry is all about “evolution” and not revolution.
