Reeling in the years

IT’S hard to believe, but Jim Davis, head of the International Maritime Industries Forum and arguably the best-known figure in the international shipping industry, is seventy next year.

Jim says he is toying with the idea of throwing a party for all the friends he has made down the years. It will have to be a huge venue.
