Costamare pushed back delivery of a series of containerships as it reported a stronger-than-anticipated third-quarter profit today.

New York-listed Costamare says all four 11,000-teu vessels still under construction at Hanjin Heavy Industries will now all arrive in 2017.

Costamare, which placed the ships alongside private equity partner York Capital, was previously slated to take in three more boxships in the series before the end of this year.
