James Tweed

  • Founder, Managing Director

Coracle was set up by James Tweed FICS (Fellow Institute of Chartered
Shipbrokers) in 2006.
A graduate of Maritime Business and Marine Law, James began his career as a
ship-broker specialising in crude oil tanker chartering. In 2001 James became
involved in forming a start-up company as a joint venture between four leading
shipbrokers and a leading oil broker: the company was created to begin the
broking of the emerging commodity product of Freight Forward Agreements
(freight derivatives). James left this company to create and manage a freight
desk at a leading inter-dealer broker before becoming a founding director of
the first hedge fund based on a freight derivatives strategy.
James is past Chairman of the London Branch of ICS.
