About Us
There are times when the simple printed truth is not enough, when opinion and even more opinion count just as much.
The shipping industry has an echo, with many news stories there is another one in the background, a reverberating sound that sometimes conflicts what is officially being said, but by people too scared to say it.
Bill Barratry will say it for them.
Journalists and bloggers are just as oft vilified as revered, it kind of depends whether one is the subject of their penmanship usually, and Bill Barratry falls into that category.
This is the voice of opinion, hard gossip and those whispered echoes that make up the maritime industry.
Bill Barratry’s aim is to create transparency though irreverence and knowledge through questioning. You may not agree with the opinion’s. If that is the case, say so. This is not just about Bill Barratry’s voice, this is a chance for those with something to say, to say it.
This is a chance for those echoes behind the issues and the news stories to be heard.
This blog is as much anyone’s as it is Bill Barratry’s.
