开头摘录
Foreword
Every
owner
comes
to
the
same
question
:
whether,
and
when,
to
renew
the
fleet
.
The question is simple; the decision is not.
It requires a view on when to order or buy, which fuel the
next ship should burn and who will finance her. This
review is organised around that decision. Each of its four
chapters examines one part of it.
Each chapter can be read on its own. Read together, they
describe the conditions under which the next generation of
ships will be ordered, fuelled and financed.

THE LENDER No Ship Is Financed Alone
What does a carbon budget mean for an owner seeking a loan?
