MPV Outlook: Fragmentation, Schedule & Sustainability

The outlook for the MPV fleet continues to be the centre of much industry discussion. With increasing build costs, longer lead times and changing sustainability targets, it makes bridging the current gap in supply ever more challenging. The current order book is extremely fragmented and current builds are proceeding considering the need for retrofitting in the future. This session will provide an overview of the current status of the MPV fleet and review the forward schedule to identify any crunch points in supply where the industry will need to forward plan to navigate through any shortages.
