Capital Product Partners (CPLP) is considering buying more containerships as part of an overall plan to grow its fleet beyond the 10 boxships and one bulker it has now.

Jerry Kalogiratos, chief executive of CPLP's general partner, said in Thursday's earnings report that a strong balance sheet allows the company to grow its "asset base" of vessels.

He did not specify, however, what ship types may be of interest to CPLP until an earnings call later in the day.
