To do this we need to access the highest quality market data in an efficient and timely manner\. A multi license subscription to Clarksons data is a key tool in this process\. A key step in the commercial strategy is to map commercial shipbuilding activity both in the UK and internationally and have up-to-date industry forecasts and protection\.
