bdp1 Consulting Ltd. is staffed by a group of people with years of operating and management backgrounds in the transportation business and finance businesses with specialty in financial writing, sprinkled with a heavy dose of market and transaction analysis. We can help hedge funds, private equity/ infrastructure players and the commercial banks, investment banks and others who serve them. The Principal of the company, Barry Parker, has an MBA degree from the Wharton School, and experience as a consultant with Booz Allen and Hamilton, ensuring that we see the world just as a world-class consultant would. In addition to his work in brokerage and finance, the Principal of the company was a Visiting Professor, lecturing at the World Maritime University in Malmoe on maritime information technology. He also has appeared as an Expert Witness concerning asset valuation of a fleet of container vessels and likely freight market scenarios surrounding them. bdp1 Consulting Ltd. is a resource to well known maritime and commodity consulting firms, as well, on freight market and maritime financial matters. Our team stretches from New York, where we maintain a network of academics and maritime academy students, to London, where we collaborate with the best consultants in the business, and onward to Asia- where any ample outsourcing bench maintains data and handles economic modelling work. We also have access to a stable of top talent from Ivy League schools to assist on a surge basis. <>Our broad viewpoint- looking deep into the industry, but also scanning the outward business horizons, combined with focus on the details of business processes, makes bdp1 Consulting Ltd. very qualified to make a consulting proposal to your company or organization. The clients have included NYSE listed shipping companies, private vessel operating companies, intermediaries, and technology companies serving shipowners and cargo interests. Freight derivatives- an arb within an arb. Our clients may already be in the maritime business, while others are looking to enter the business (or a new sector in its fragmented landscape) and need an intelligent guide to get them past the confusion and obstacles. In order to penetrate the shipping business, you need a trustworthy guide who knows the territory. > Always practical, sometimes irreverant, but usually early and right about the big picture tipping points and trends. Shipping has encountered hoards of invaders from the worlds of finance, dot-coms, and security, all swooping down like crusaders trying to change a business that prides itself on its stubborness and resistance to change. The next wave will be from the environmental side; our pragmatic viewpoint talks the language of both sides. There is always an arb. Why bdp1? We offer a top flight view of the business dynamic (with decades of experience) interposed upon a unique vantage point and knowledge of the culture of the business and a rolodex with the first names of the big hitters. Language and communication are critical. That's where we can add a great deal of value. Contact us for more information. |

In the Global Village, we are located by Long Island Sound, on the North Shore of Long Island, very near to New York City and the major airports. We are reachable by high speed ferry from downtown and midtown Manhattan. Our contact details are below. We work with clients all over the world, often via our high speed broadband internet connections. We are called bdp1 (that's the number 1 !!!) because a large logistics specialist based in Philadelphia USA (with whom we have no affiliation) might not like it if we did not have the " 1 " in our name!
