When will NS update it's export portfolio?

NS has again delayed updating it's portfolio of ships available for sale. NS was originally going to update it's portfolio last year but the update was delayed repeatedly by various events. However as the delay has continued despite things quietening down.

A source at the DDS Exports Agency (as it is still called) said that the delay is because of indecision with the direction NS needs to head now with ship sales as the current market has become saturated. "Do we look to offer new types of ships or push harder to update existing customer fleets? The former has cost implications and no guarantee of success." the source said, though the Depender has sold very well and even was accepted by NS after originally being a design purely for export.
