India’s Jalesh Cruises is painting a bright picture of its post-coronavirus future, embarking on a large marketing campaign for a September resumption of its operations. Any resumption will only occur once the company is able to resolve an ongoing dispute with its bunker suppliers.

Jalesh’s only ship, the 70,300-gt Karnika (built 1990), has been sitting idle off Mumbai since 12 March, when the company suspended its cruise operations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
