It looks like they are just interested on that two models. I say something if they change their minds on the future.

What kind of reliable report would that person or organization expect.
Is that the way they normally run their business.
Let me answer you with another question. :-)
How do you buy a ship if you never bought one before and you are not in the maritime industry? This happens with port business who often don't know a thing about maritime.
You start getting someone who knows about the construction and operation of ships for the particular mission you need. This is not simple because you don't know the market, and then who can be trusted or not.
I mean, ever the best ship builders and yards in the world can build a ship that will sink at launch, specially when we are talking about new/custom hulls - and you lose not just the nominal value of your investment but also 2-3 years of construction.
