The cumulative market size over the years 2007-2016 is estimated to be 139 ships, a decline of 28 percent from last year's total.

Some projects intended to replace ships that recently completed construction have been canceled entirely. The United States has been particularly affected by these delays, with numerous ship programs being stretched out or postponed.
