The exuberant containership market saw what is possibly a record-breaking charter deal on Wednesday, with US-listed owner Euroseas revealing that one of its vessels is set to earn about $200,000 per day towards the end of the year.

An unnamed charterer agreed to pay at least $195,000 to secure the services of the 4,250-teu Synergy Oakland (built 2009) for between 60 and 85 days, starting in mid-October.
