Yes, Cargolaw is really neat, I work on a deep sea oil rig and regularly visit it.
Why though, does Google and or microsoft brand it as “this website can damage your computer” and claims cargolaw is home to some bad virus stuff?
Can anyone elucidate me?
Zanks a thillion!

Cargolaw.com is an addition, you can not help but read more and more about their stories.
I enjoyed it.

I got a power point a while ago of ship container disassters called something like, Why your shipment is late.
Did that come from your site?
If so, would you please send me the link?
Thank you

We are honored by the comments of you & your readers.

Yes, we understand that the style of our http://WWW.CargoLaw.com website is out of date. But as you point out — we are cutting edge where international maritime disasters are concerned. When there is a disaster at sea — the readers come to us firsrt.

We do not allow ads on our site — and we respond to numerous consumer/shipper queries each day at no charge concerning the perils of intlernational shipping. We absorb this expense.

Ours is a service, not an entertainment. Sorry that we don’t look as pretty as some of your readers might like.

It is very dangerous “out there” and we want shippers to understand this

Our Websitee currently runs a data strem of over 500GB per month & about 600,000 hits per day. Those concerned in our industry are not confused by form over substance. Our Website may look old fashioned, but it provides the information required.

Lloyds of London called us “the most disorganized Website that you can’t afford to miss.” We are quite proud of this,

We plan to upgrade the look our Website this year — but in the meantime — we will continue to provide you all with news & pictures of maritime distaters in real time.

Many thanks;

Michael McDaniel

What amazes me is that there are that many accidents that they can keep updating so frequently. Good indication to NEVER work in the industry.

I just found your site and am loving the distraction from work.

Thanks!

Yeah, I took about forty seconds on that website before throwing up my hands and deciding to go watch baseball instead. Cool pics, though. I do seriously wish a cargo disaster would occur near enough to my backyard for some serious looting.

Thanks, Dan. The website is indeed a ridiculous mess. I’m tempted to send them a note and ask if they want to hire a web design studio to revamp the whole thing. The problem is, it would probably take SO LONG to reorganize all that info that the project would just never, ever finish.

I’m impressed you made it through the site enough even to find its wicked cool information. After your site I figured I should check it out for myself, only to basically immediately give up and run away. Hope the mainland’s treating you well.
