I can guarantee that every shipping line mentioned above will not be to pleased to receive any of these newbuildings at the moment!

They definitely won't! I read earlier today that 5.5% of the entire container tonnage is temporarily laid up because of the crisis! Some companies are even transporting containers for free just to hold on to their customers...

Hello Klaus

Thanks alot for your monthly update.
Very interesting and very much appreciated indeed.

A suggestion:
Would it be an idea to consolidate these (future) reports into one thread, and
then just add the month in question to each new posting?.

Regards
Niels
