Oslo-listed MPC Container Ships has placed a $228m order for four 4,500 teu container vessels at China’s Taizhou Sanfu Ship Engineering with secured three-year charters, as well as divesting some older tonnage while expanding its financing platform with new debt facilities totalling over $100m. The ships, which will deliver in 2027, will generate around $140m in revenue from their initial three-year charters, the company said in a release. The tonnage provider revealed today it is letting go of three older 1,300 teu ships for $31.5m with existing charters attached. “Our ongoing fleet renewal strategy is further reinforced by these measures,” said CEO Constantin Baack (pictured). googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsGermany
