Leading boxship owners Peter Dohle and Zodiac Maritime are cashing in as lines concede to taking containerships at stronger rates for longer periods.
Germany's Peter Dohle has fixed one of its 5,500-teu wide-beam panamaxes for a lengthy period at a hefty premium.
The 5,527-teu Talassa (built 2005) has been taken by Wan Hai Lines of Taiwan for 18 months at $26,500 per day.
