in 2027 and four 9,200 TEU container vessels to be built at Dalian
shipyard in China, three of which have expected deliveries in 2027
and one vessel in 2028. All five vessels are designed with the
latest eco characteristics, will be methanol fuel ready, fitted

through the date of this release, currently stand at $2.9 billion.
The remaining average contracted charter duration is 3.1 years,
weighted by aggregate contracted charter hire.
Contracted operating days charter coverage for the container
vessel fleet is currently 99% for 2024 and 80% for 2025. This

During the second quarter of 2024 we have taken delivery of the
first three newbuilding vessels, namely two 8,010 TEU vessels and
one 7,165 TEU vessel. As a result, as of the date of this press

At the same time, we are also pleased to report the results of
