 In May 2011, it was announced that only two or three "Valemax" vessels will be delivered from the Chinese shipyard in 2011 instead of the planned six due to delays in construction.In the end only, one ship ("Vale China") was delivered before the end of the year.Furthermore, later reports claimed that the ships ordered by Vale had a capacity of only 380,000 tons even though according to the Det Norske Veritas database entries all Chinese-built ships have a deadweight tonnage in excess of 400,000 tons and in the past Vale has referred to the ships ordered from Rongsheng as "400,000-ton" vessels.
