DryShips (DRYS -1.5%) says it canceled newbuilding contracts for four ice-class panamax bulker vessels under construction at debt-ridden Rongsheng Heavy Industries.
DRYS had paid $11.5M for the vessels but got that money back plus interest in the cancellation; it had paid ~$124M before the decision to cancel the deal.
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
