Chinese New Year Holidays will start as from 2nd Feb 2011, one week before and 2-3 weeks after that date (almost one month in total), the Work progress will be affected inevitably.

All Shipyards in Mainland China will try to keep Labor even at high cost but the Workers prefer to travel to their Homeland and spend the Holidays with their families rather than stay in Shipyard.

Following completion of the Holidays it is an opportunity for them to change occupation and location in order to secure better income as it is considered the beginning of a New Year.

The Labor force situation during the above period creates Production problems not only to Mainland Chinese Shipyards, but also other Industries in China and in fact how long this kind of Labor shortage situation will last and when will be relieved cannot be predicted.

Therefore it is advisable to avoid any of your Vessels to be inside a Mainland Chinese Shipyard during the period which is affected by the Chinese New Year Holidays as from 25th January 2011 up to 23rd February 2010.

In this respect we look forward to receive your Inquiries in order to guide you accordingly and ensure timely completion of the DD/Repairs of Vessels of your Fleet.
