South Korea’s HMM and Greece’s Navios Maritime Partners are cementing their ties, with the liner operator taking two container ship newbuildings from the owner on long-term deals.

Seoul-based HMM confirmed it has chartered two LNG dual-fuel 7,700-teu vessels from the end of 2024 for 12 years — with an option to extend by two years — for about KRW 525bn ($409m) in total or $204.5m
