Are there.
strategies to retrofit present bigger vessels or is the fad most likely to be that.
independent vessels will be brand-new construct?
The fad is.
likely to be that independent vessels will certainly be brand-new integrate in order to take.
benefit of brand-new modern technology and also to increase effectiveness. However, modern technology.
demos have actually revealed that it is feasible to retrofit vessels for remote.
