Polsteam's orderbook is intact despite the struggling owner's talk of "restructuring" — and the company is praising the quality of its yards' products after the delivery of a handysize newbuilding from Yangfan Shipyard in Zhoushan.

Polsteam has told Yangfan the remaining nine of its 12-ship order are safe, and the company is also denying the rumoured downsizing of a higher-priced series of six Lakes-fitted handysizes at Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.
