Leer: The ceo of the world’s largest project shipping firm talks to our new sister site, Maritime CEO, today. Svend Andersen is the boss of Germany’s BBC Chartering. In the interview he spends time discussing the importance of China to his company.

“We expect the market to continue to be very competitive, especially in Asia. The market there focuses on prices rather than quality,” Andersen said. “At the same time we see a lot of cargoes being re-circulated due to the fast paced changes in the Chinese market. Operators and carriers enter and leave the stage quickly and they often fail to perform. This is where we see our chance.”
