Many shipowners, needing vast amounts of outside capital for new construction, are forced to commit their unbuilt ships to charter in advance, often at poor rates. Unlike them, Bergesen has flexibility, as he puts it, "to build the right ships at the right time, then fix the right charter contracts."
