Leading tonnage providers Seaspan and Capital Product Partners have wasted no time in securing long-term charters for their latest containership acquisitions.
New York-listed Seaspan has landed charters for two neo-panamax vessels that it bought last month from Singapore-based Pacific International Lines (PIL).
Brokers said the 11,923-teu Kota Petani and Kota Pemimpin (both built 2018), which were bought for about $176m in total, will be employed charters to Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) and Hapag-Lloyd.
