Russian owner Fesco Group has won an agreement to delay a third interest payment on bonds.

The containership company said it will not hand over any cash until 27 April on the RUB 8.5bn ($135m) notes, which mature in February 2018.

The payment was originally meant to be made last October.

Fesco froze bond instalments last year.

"The company expresses gratitude to the bondholders for this decision, which will help in alleviating the debt service burden on the company," it said.
