There were 35 vessels showed up last week that is up 55% of normal for the week. Who the heck would order that many extra vessels when there was a looming chance of a strike? But of course they can just pass on dumurage doesn't matter how long strike goes on they will still make there handling.

If anyone learnt anything the contract would have been settled before July 23....so the answer is no...and yes farmers will pay for this and look like idiots in the process....Originally posted by walterm View PostYes i know but questions still linger. What about next strike or interruption in shipping, did we learn anything and going to make changes, or just make farmers look like whiners again?

It is likely that not all those vessels have a contract, but are sitting there hoping to get a contract. The lucky ones are those who had a contract while the strike was on. Collecting demurrage likely makes more net than actual sailing.Originally posted by walterm View PostThere were 35 vessels showed up last week that is up 55% of normal for the week.
