An interesting picture, because as a keen watcher of the TV show ‘Lie To Me’, the body language tells me that a) Richard Fain thinks he’s done a good deal (big smile), and b) Martin Landtman reckons he’s been done (resigned look and drooping shoulders). The very opposite to what you would have expected, since STX must have off-loaded a lot (if not all) of the project’s risk.

Well STX should be happy because they are actually doing business, unlike other yards especially in Asia. He may be seeing this as the end of the line for Oasis and an uncertain future for his yard in Finland. Almost something like “one down, and I hope there is a lot more to go.”
