From the transcript
We're going to meet with them personally as they're lining out the schedule and getting pre-ordered on parts to see what days we can shave. The yard is pretty confident they can at least take a month off the schedule, but we're going to go through all that the first week of September in Seward with the yard and see what we can take off. And so if a little bit of that's on the front end, the back end, you know, we'll do what we can and what what— and what the yard will allow us to do at this point since we made the commitment. I don't know what other vessels they have in there other than our Aurora and then the Tustimena coming in later. So open to hearing the input on that if there's some value in that October delaying, in the first October.
