Seaspan Corp has placed millions of stakeholder shares on the proverbial shelf.

The Bing Chen-led owner has registered 38.5 million units held by 13 investors for resale from time to time, according to a prospectus filed with the SEC.

Almost a third — 12 million — of them are owned by Fairfax Financial Holdings. The rest are held by 12 affiliate investors based in the US and overseas.
