Diana Containerships has secured employment for a boxship that was idle for nearly eight months.

Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has fixed the 6,541-teu Pucon (built 2006) for 13 months starting on 27 April.

Pucon will earn $10,750 per day and will become the most highly paid ship in Diana’s fleet.

But Hapag-Lloyd was paying $17,000 for the vessel until May 2016 before Diana sent it to Malaysia for lay-up.
