Seatrade will continue to replace traditional reefer vessels with containerships, despite fixing out one of its newbuildings at a premium rate.
The 2,265-teu Seatrade Blue (built 2017) has been taken by Zim-affiliate Gold Star Line for six months trading at a reasonably strong rate of $12,250 per day.
It is one of up to 12 container reefer newbuildings of the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute (SDARI) 2100 design that Seatrade was expected to deploy on its own services.
