Credit Crunch Not A Factor For Overall Shipbuilding Industry
Analysis of: Credit Crunch Spreads to Shipyards | www.marinelink.com
Author: Craig Marston, Managing Director, CEM Marine
The impact of the "credit crunch," while real for individual companies, is not a factor for the overall shipbuilding industry.  The few building slots that have been canceled by owner default have been readily resold at higher margins.  The drop-off in post-2010 orders has its roots in oversupply of new ships and shipbuilding capacity.

Have Chrysler's Cereberus Accountants Uncovered Systemic Fraud In The OEM Automotive Supplier Cost-Cutting Agenda, Or Is It Just Hypocrisy They Have "Found"?
Analysis of: Chrysler Sues Johnson Controls For $15M In Overcharges | online.wsj.com
Author: Jack Lifton, Managing Director, Jack Lifton, LLC
