China-backed Transfar Shipping continues to make waves in the charter market with the fixture of a modern panamax container ship for $200,000 per day.
Brokers say the 4,600-teu Northern Prelude (built 2009) has been taken by the Singapore-incorporated company for the six-digit-sum for up to three months.
The vessel, controlled by private equity-backed V.Ships, operates for Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd, which took the vessel on charter in October 2020 at $14,000 per day.
