The Ocean Network Express (ONE) has made its first move into the charter market by taking a pair of neo-panamax containerships from Ciner Shipping Industry & Trading in a $65.7m deal.

The Turkish owner secured a three-year charter for the 9,030-teu Croatia (built 2015) and Czech (built 2016) at rates in the region of $30,000 per day, UK shipbroking sources said.
