DIANA Containerships, a company that owns and operates ships, has signed, via two subsidiaries, an agreement to buy two 6,500-TEU vessels.
The 2006-built Puelo and Pucon were bought for US$47 million each. The sellers are expected to deliver the Puelo by the end of August and the Pucon in mid-September.
Both will be chartered to Compania Sud Americana de Vapores (CSAV) headquartered in Valparaiso, Chile, for a minimum of 18 months to a maximum of 30 months at a gross charter rate of US$27,900 per day less US$150 per day commission paid to third parties.
Including the two new vessels, Diana Containerships' fleet will consist of 10 units, including two postpanamax and eight panamax ships.
