Parked Ships

Wow, thats a fascinating find. I have read stories in the past couple of months of ships full of oil sitting at anchor waiting for the price of oil to hit a high before they are willing to unload as another way both oil producers (OPEC) and oil/gas manufactors (EXXON, SHELL et all) can maniuplate the oil markets to maximize profits.

I'm just speculating here, but i wonder if this is a sympotom of the larger problem with global trade. Economics tells us that open and free trade benefits both parties, be know in reality thats not true. Global trade is in fact unfair trade due to the dispairities of working, manufacturing and economic conditions between both countries for the most part.
