(NYSE:GSL) (the “Company”), a containership owner and lessor, announced today the purchase of three 8,600 TEU, Korean-built containerships with ECO upgrades (the “Newly Acquired Vessels”) for an aggregate purchase price of $90 million. The Newly Acquired Vessels have attached charters with a leading liner company. The charters are at below-market rates and have flexible durations, with latest redeliveries in mid-2030. Assuming the charters run to their full terms, they are expected to generate aggregate revenues of approximately $88 million; and at a through-cycle scrap price of $400 per LWT, the ships would have a combined scrap value of approximately $40 million. With these additions, the Company’s fleet will comprise 71 vessels with a total capacity of 422,567 TEU.","length":852,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"The Newly Acquired Vessels are expected to be delivered around year-end 2025.
