The Taiwanese owner will take the 14,000-teu vessels from the New York-listed owner, it said in a statement to investors without revealing any more details.

TradeWinds broke the news recently that Seaspan had exercised options for five more vessels of that size at Hyundai Heavy Industries.

It booked the original five in January this year with the 10 vessels expected to start hitting the water from the second half of 2015.
