London, United Kingdom, – (June 23, 2020) — Rates surge 40% as lines hoover up vessels
Charter rates for big boxships have surged by 40% in recent days.
A chartering spree by Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) has seen several 8,500-teu vessels taken from the market on period.
The Swiss charterer has taken a handful of vessels for 12 to 24 months in a swoop that has left other charterers of large boxships out in the cold.
The chartering raid has benefited some tonnage providers, including US-based Seamax Capital Management.
