Hi Joan,

>>However, with more new tankers due for delivery than scheduled for scrapping I'm ambivalent.

**I do not understand how these guys are doing replacements. TK shipping has a bunch of single hull tankers that need replacing, but for some reason or other do not seem to be in a hurry. The CEO was giving the EU gold stars for not allowing single hull tankers, yet he has a bunch in his fleet.

Galbraith's has some reports on new builds and demolition:

The Weber Report has a very nice chart but I can't find the one I recall: reports.crweber.com

Keeping some lowball bids on the books for the pending NAT announcement sounds like a plan. Someone with the moniker tanker_broker on Yahoo nailed the $9 for VLCCF before the fact. I wonder what he thinks for NAT?
