For those in shipping, having a punt is a regular, day-to-day activity. Whether it’s bunker hedging, FFAs, timing a newbuilding delivery, shipowners are accustomed to making big calls based often on nothing more than gut feel. These characteristics make our readers perfect candidates to enter this year’s Fantasy Premier League Splash Spot Market.
England’s Premier League season is set to return this weekend and Splash will be hosting its own fantasy group where readers are invited to select and manage their own teams with a prize for the winner come May next year.
Shipping and football have many strong ties perhaps most famously via Evangelos Marinakis, the Greek shipping tycoon who also owns Piraeus team Olympiakos and Nottingham Forest in England, while Idan Ofer owns a stake in Spain’s Atlético Madrid. Other shipping-backed football teams include Shanghai Port FC, currently topping the Chinese Super League table, which is controlled by Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG), while this year’s Marseille football shirt sports the logo of the city’s pre-eminent maritime name, CMA CGM (see below).
