SunStone Ships has lined up charterers for four firm cruiseships it is ordering at China Merchant Industry Holdings (CMIH), says chief executive Niels-Erik Lund.

The lines that will operate the vessels will be named once the Miami shipowner firms up the order in the next few weeks.

As TradeWinds reported last week, SunStone forged a framework agreement for a series of 160 to 200-passenger ships from the China Merchants Group shipbuilding subsidiary, with delivery starting in August 2019.
