Danaos Corp added $308m to the charter backlog of its profitable container ship fleet as its dry bulk fleet weighed on third-quarter earnings.
The New York-listed owner of container ships and bulkers lifted its charter backlog to $3.3bn during the period, finding contracts for all of its unfixed newbuildings, chief executive John Coustas said in an earnings release.
Twelve of its 14 newbuildings are now on five-year charters, with the remaining pair on two-year deals.
