Here on the island, we often see Mark scuba diving off the beach in a fruitless search for sunken treasure.

Now, ironically, it appears that he has stumbled upon some floating treasure in the form of Clarkson PLC, the world's largest shipping services provider.

Clarkson's offer strategic maritime consultancy and shipping solutions in 24 countries, and in 2011, Lloyd's List described them as the undisputed heavyweight of the ship-broking market.

To find out how Mark feels about his new nautical investment, stay tuned to this, episode 51 of the Desert Island Investor.

Visit their website at progressive-research.com. Mark, the very foundation of your investing strategy is low churn.

But today we are discussing a relatively recent addition to the portfolio, Clarkson PLC, ticker symbol CKN.

Now this is a company that's widely recognized as a global leader in shipping services.

So as usual, can we start off with the base numbers, please?
