When most investors think of potential competitive threats to drybulk shippers like Star Bulk Carriers Corp. (NASDAQ:SBLK) or Euroseas Ltd. (NASDAQ:ESEA), Double Crown Resources Inc (OTCMKTS:DDCC) doesn't come to mind.

No material is lost en route, and no distributor or middleman needs to bother splitting up one large order into smaller ones.
