Container leasing giant Seaspan Corp is the latest shipowner to be tempted by a sustainability-linked bond (SLB) issuance.

The subsidiary of US-listed Atlas Corp has mandated DNB Markets and Fearnley Securities to arrange a series of fixed-income investor meetings later today.

The Bing Cheng-led company said subject to inter alia market conditions, a US dollar denominated senior unsecured SLB issue with a three-year tenor may follow.
