Hello.
To date The Grand Bahama Shipyard has stemmed a total of nine cruise ships for docking during this year and hopes to secure work on a further three vessels.
In my opinion, "To date The Grand Bahama Shipyard has stemmed a total of nine cruise ships for docking during this year" means that "So far The Grand Bahama Shipyard has succeeded, in spite of difficulties, in gaining/winning a total of nine cruise ships for docking during this year".
Stem (verb)
To make headway against (a tide or current, for example).
What is your opinion?
Thank you.
