German shipping asset manager Buss Group is launching its first container leasing bond to take advantage of a hot market.

With rates in some boxship classes hitting record levels as volumes recover from coronavirus disruption, the Hamburg-based company said this is the right time to strike.

The Zins 2021 bond is being sold by the Buss Capital Invest unit.

"Private investors can benefit from the currently favourable entry conditions in the container leasing market," the company said.
