“We have secured one cargo in January, two in February. We are looking to fill one of our two slots in March. That's the arrangement so far.”
David Nicholas
“We've diversified our cargo somewhat recently. It helps stabilize the high and lows of each commodity. Our tonnage is up 50 percent over the last five years.”
