Advanced Shipping & Trading S.A Research 13/5/216 7 Dry Bulk Chartering Evidence that shipping has seen much better times than the ones we are currently experiencing has recently been discovered in Sweden, where archaeologists have been unearthing Bronze Age (that is 3,6 years old stuff) tools and weapons. The artifacts are made of copper which analysis shows to have originated from Cyprus, and are decorated with Mycenaean Greek symbols. Studies suggest that eastern Mediterranean copper was precious enough to be traded for Nordic amber, a commodity cherished as gold in Mycenaean Greece and in the prehistoric Middle East. Back to our times, Week 19 and modern industry participants (which don t seem to share the same sentiments as those of their ancestors), Swiss-based trader Glencore has announced that it has become the top shareholder of troubled Australian junior miner Atlas Iron.
