You might say the Fortune is worth, well, a fortune these days.rnFor those who don't recall, the ship formerly known as the Hyundai Fortune had the poor fortune of seeing a major explosion onboard rips the aft of the ship to shreds while it was at sea in March 2006. The vessel was critically damaged and eventually sold to London ship owner Goldenport for $ 13 million-not counting, of course, the cost to repair the heavily damaged to the aft of the ship.rnLloyd's List reported in August that the 5,551-TEU Fortune will now be operated by Mediterranean Shipping Co. on a four-year charter for $38,000 a day. Even with containership charter rates in a depressed state due to the shelving of capacity on several trades, that's a $55.5 million investment-a small fortune, one might say.
