A pair of German-owned 5,000-teu wide-beam boxships have been fixed at a significant premium to older designs, despite a continued decline in charter rates.
The 4,957-teu Jadrana (built 2014) has been taken at around $15,750 per day by Israeli liner operator Zim for 180 to 270 days.
The sistership Wieland (built 2014) has been fixed for 80 to 100 days with intra-Asian feeder operator TS Lines at $16,100 per day.
