#3 Impressive Mr. B.
Conversions to natural gas on the Supramax and Kamsarmax was supposed to be occurring. Much more efficient I understand. Too big for canals so they go round about to ports that can handle these massive ships. The push has been on for some time now. Upgrade or lose to more cost efficient vessels.
