Container ship giant Seaspan Corp has now fully funded its 70-vessel newbuilding splurge with a final $1.4bn financing deal.

The vessel lessor, part of US-listed Atlas Corp, said the latest transaction is the second "innovative" deal involving Japanese sale and leasebacks, following an $838m financing in December.

The final financing will fund 10 15,000-teu LNG dual-fuel boxships under construction at an unnamed shipyard.
