Thought, it may be of interest to u since u looked interested in the contribution shipping companies could make.... "The Baltic Dry Index, which tracks worldwide shipping rates for dry-bulk cargoes in four vessel classes, is down 60% since Jan. 1 and now plumbing lows last seen early in 2009, when global trade seized up in the wake of the U.S. financial meltdown." (Here for more)

I guess that the contribution looks compromised regardless of citizenship, never mind the bad instinct unsatisfaction.
