Thai intra-Asian specialist Regional Container Lines (RCL) is reletting two 11,800-teu newbuild boxships to Israeli operator Zim.
The deal is the second between rival liner operators to emerge recently.
It comes as the Bangkok-listed operator is celebrating a record profit quarter and a $20m investment in another two secondhand feeder vessels.
RCL surprised the market in August by purchasing a pair of modern neo-panamax newbuildings with nominal capacity close to 12,000 teu.
