TradeWinds readers have excelled in providing witty captions for the odd photo above.
The snap was taken when UK prime minister Boris Johnson visited a tender in the Thames during London International Shipping Week.
Michael Webber, managing partner at 'TBD' as he terms his yet-to-launch consultancy, said the caption should be: “Victory for Boris - PM packs 14 boxes in gob, disqualifies child for choking.”
Alisdair Pettigrew, managing director at Blue Communications, suggested: "Abracadabra - look I can make it shrink almost as much as the UK economy."
And Russell Green, managing director at RTG Communications, came up with: "No, it isn't small, it is just far, far away, just like a Brexit deal."
Some other highlights:
Captain Mandeep Singh, Maritime Professional: "I don't let the left hand know what my right hand is doing."
Jan Hagemann, Five Oceans Maritime Asset Management: "UK's strong man and followers attempt boxship lift through sheer willpower."
Philip Bacon, consultant at Icthus Marine Limited, channelled Yoda's curious speech patterns with this one: "Lift up shipping by The Force we will."
Jon Guy, editorial director at ALS Media Limited: "Man the lifeboats!! Boris Johnson adds a personal curse to the vessels that will ship remoaners out of the UK on 1 November under Operation EU Later!"
Bunker trader Janek Ekeli contributed: "Here's a container ship carrying cargo...and now watch as my invisible hand of the market intervenes."
Other anonymous contributions included: "These new British magnetic gantry cranes offload a ship 35% faster."
"This ship would easily be able to sail under the Scotland-Ireland bridge."
"Look kids, this has shrunk, just like my majority...."
Thank you all.
