Alibaba-linked carrier pays premium charter for vintage boxship

摘要

AGEING containerships - some over 20 years old - are still fetching premium charter rates and high sale prices in the first weeks of 2022, as record-breaking profits and booming conditions continue. Greece-based Conbulk Shipping, owners of the 2002-built, 2,496-teu containership Groton (IMO: 9246310), secured a six-to-seven month charter deal of $75,000 daily from Transfar Shipping, according to shipbroker reports.
