Ocean Yield, the Oslo-listed ship leasing company, has extended the stop-gap charter of a subsea construction vessel to Ezra Holdings.

The 11,000-dwt Lewek Connector (built 2011) will remain chartered to the Singapore-based company potentially until Christmas.

Ocean Yield said the charter, which is due to expire on 15 October 2017, will now run until 15 November 2017 at the existing rate of $40,000 per day.
