SHIP PRICES WILL ONLY GO UP

摘要

Hope springs eternal, but what's behind the calls for cheaper ships? All shipowners are eternal optimists, with history suggesting that many exhibit the judgement of a myopic lemming, but are not these demands being made upon shipbuilders straining credibility, just a little?rnMaybe it is because shipbuilders have yet to embrace the concept of a seasonal sale. Maybe it would encourage some if we were to see large advertisements offering 'Half Price Capesizes - free delivery and interest free credit!!!!!' But sadly, it would probably be the preface to yet another shipbuilder sliding into administration, after sending its last cheap ship into the water.
