Eastern Pacific Shipping has secured charters for its entire orderbook of container ship newbuildings with a fresh round of deals with French liner operator CMA CGM.

The two companies have also concluded a multi-charter agreement involving feeder newbuildings through to larger midsize container vessels.

Brokers believe the Idan Ofer-controlled tonnage provider will charter to CMA CGM two 7,000-teu newbuildings, along with six of 3,000 teu and two of 1,800 teu.
