Seaspan acquires 10,000-TEUer for Med to Far East-USWC service

SEASPAN, the Hong Kong administered by Vancouver headquartered charter owner and container lessor, is to take delivery of the third of seven neopanamaxes, the 10,000-TEU Hanjin Ami.

Built by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) will now be assigned to the CKYH ‘PM1’ pendulum service connecting the Mediterranean, the Far East and the US west coast.

The seven vessels are to be split between Seaspan (three vessels) and Greater China Intermodal Investments (GCI) (four vessels) at 10-year charters by Hanjin with an option for two additional years.

The vessel will join its sister ship the Hanjin Jungil delivered in April to be followed by the Hanjin Tabul in a couple of weeks time.
