A Slow Shipping Season Combined With Less Cargo Amounts Equals Many Ships in Lay-up

Since the beginning of the shipping season, some ships never departed lay-up and some have entered lay-up. Other remain in long term lay-up. Both Canadians and American ships are in lay-up and cargo amounts have dropped including iron ore, coal, stone and grain. Ships currently in lay-up include the following:
Phoenix Sun-In lay-up since December in Sorel
