Post-Brexit, UK may become more shipping-friendly
The policies binding the industry have for the last 40 years been cobbled together by Brussels lawmakers, who give an ear to strident environmental lobbies
Add BT as a preferred sourceTHIS is not the column I was expecting to write for this week. Last Thursday's shock vote by the UK's electorate to leave the European Union (EU), however, will have implications for the global shipping industry.
The vote is an instruction to leave a project to which the UK government has firmly committed - and it will have to be delivered by a parliament that is overwhelmingly pro-EU, as is a majority of Britain's political class.
As demonstrated by Prime Minister David Cameron's announcement of his intention to resign, the UK is now set for a period of considerable political upheaval.
