Mike Webber of Wells Fargo has secured bragging rights among Wall Street shipping analysts after coming top of the latest rankings published by Institutional Investor magazine.

Webber – who was pictured on the cover of the magazine when it published its first All American shipping table last year – again finished first ahead of Fotis Giannakoulis of Morgan Stanley.

“We're really honored and frankly humbled by the fact that our clients would give us this kind of recognition,” Webber said.
