Greek shipowner Costamare has filled the final funding need on its present balance sheet during an active third quarter for the New York-listed company.

Costamare banked a cheque to cover a second hand vessel bought earlier this year as it revealed a string of charters alongside a strong quarterly profit.

A new five-year facility will cover the 7,470-teu Maersk Kowloon (built 2005), which is now on a long-term charter to Maersk Line, the company’s quarterly report says.
