Seaspan accepts 11,000TEU MSC Shreya B

Seaspan has accepted delivery of the MSC Shreya B, an 11,000TEU container ship that will commence a bareboat charter with the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) for a period of seventeen years. Upon completion of the bareboat charter period, MSC is obligated to purchase the vessel for a pre-determined amount.

The MSC Shreya B, which was constructed at Hyundai Heavy Industries’ Philippines yard, is Seaspan’s second 11000 TEU SAVER design containership in a series of five ships under bareboat charter to MSC. This is Seaspan’s third vessel delivery in 2017 and expands Seaspan’s operating fleet to 87 vessels.
