QuoteAgainst this backdrop, let us check out the factors that are expected to have influenced ESEA’s December-quarter performance.ESEA's top line in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have been significantly bolstered by robust demand for containerships, especially for eco-friendly and fuel-efficient vessels.
