I’d guess at the logistics of cold starting everything up again. Full capacity on ferries night we’ll depend on where ferries currently are and what if any routes they are currently using. I’m guessing dealerships may also use contractors for some tasks so again logistics of returning to normal may take longer than we might imagine is reasonable.
