The world's two largest bunker companies, OW Bunker and Dan-Bunkering, made headlines this past week. Ow Bunker published its first annual report after completing an IPO, and Torben Østergaard-Nielsen's USTC performed a Board of Directors reshuffle, bringing in two fresh faces.

A disappointing annual report from Blue Water Shipping also made headlines, along with the question of when the expected dry bulk rebound will appear, and - in particular - how long it will last, seeing as China's economy is developing in a less shipping-intensive direction than in the past.
