Has the pandemic had an impact on slippage and orderbook levels?
Overall current orderbook levels are low on the whole both for tankers and dry and this is allowing the yards to manage orders efficiently which is one of the reasons why slippage- the amount of ships due to be delivered during a certain period that are shunted over to the next- levels have been on the low side and the performance of shipyards has been remarkably solid considering the pandemic.
