Under the agreement, the 5,576 TEU boxship will work for Hapag-Lloyd for a period of nine to fourteen months, starting from February 23, 2017.
The parties agreed a gross charter rate of USD 1 per day for the first 15 days of the 2004-built boxship’s charter period, and USD 6,850 per day for the balance period of the time charter, in each case minus a 1.25% commission paid to third parties.
