Núria Díaz, from Aprojects, describes as ”unstable balance” the sensation that the Project Cargo market conveys today, with a demand that has rebounded ”mainly due to the pull of energy projects in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, which puts pressure on the available fleet”. ”We are not yet in a cr i t ical si tuat ion,” says Diaz, ”but there is a certain tension in the supply of special ized vessels, especial ly in the most requested cargo windows. There is another factor pointed out by Aprojects Spain’s Business Development Manager, such as the insuff icient investment in new construction of multipurpose or heavy- l i f t vessels for years. ”Al though there are now new orders, the f leet is sti l l aging at a higher rate than replacement, which l imits the market’s capacity to react and generates bottlenecks when several large-scale projects coincide,” Díaz says. buques multipropósito o heavy-lift durante años. “Aunque ahora hay nuevos pedidos, la flota todavía envejece a un ritmo superior al de reposición, lo que limita la capacidad de reacción del mercado y genera cuellos de botella cuando coinciden varios proyectos de gran escala”, expresa Díaz.
