Global Ship Lease (GSL) has buttoned down a new hire for one boxship while prolonging the charter on another.

The Ian Webber-led boxship owner entered into a time charter of seven months to 10 months with CMA CGM subsidiary ANL for the 2,207-teu GSL Keta (built 2003).

The new charter, beginning on or around 20 November, is at $8,450 per day, up from $7,800 under a previous one-year fix to CMA-CGM that began September 2017, according to Clarksons.
