Marine Money President Matt McCleery’s debut novel is perhaps the first work of ship finance fiction ever written. We are guided through the industry via protagonist Robert Fairchild, who decides to finally pursue his dream of owning a ship – and in doing so “embarking on an odyssey into the most exclusive, glamorous and high stakes business in the world.” Part fast-paced financial thriller, part ship finance text book, The Shipping Man is required reading for anyone with an interest in capital formation for shipping.
