I don’t understand why we own ships and have such a large maritime presence/teams? Seems like a ripe area for ENGINE or simply rent ships from someone else. I can’t imagine we operate ships less expensive than the open market!

I hear some managers are addressing with local teams and the results are bad. Why hasn’t c-suite addressed it? Do you think they are waiting for a TH? I would think some short-term communication from the top would really help clear things up and... — read more
