On the verge of bankruptcy due to lack of shipbuilding orders

 
Ominous is new in China but in the shipbuilding sector. 
the latest survey by the China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry (CANSI), reveals that the first 5 months of 2012 deliveries of new ships, new orders and order book declined by 10.1%, 47.3% and 27% from the 
corresponding period of 2011. At the same time, several hundred yards in the areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Shandong is on the verge of bankruptcy due to lack of orders. No doubt the next time will be quite difficult for shipyards in China which in addition to closures will create several mergers, but then as we have pointed out many times creates several opportunities for owners who have available cash to take advantage of ordering the new designs, low-power ships at very competitive prices from healthy yards.SOURCE: G.MOUNDREAS SA
