The largest trade group of Chinese shipbuilders has warned many newbuildings in China would fail to meet the IMO’s Goal-based Standards (GBS), which will be fully implemented this July.
In a web circular, China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry (Cansi) said yard delays due to the coronavirus outbreak would be lengthened by the upcoming rules.
“In China, there are many newbuilding orders that are not designed based on the GBS,” Cansi said.
