MSC is snapping up ships from Global Ship Lease (GSL) after the vessels come off charter to Maersk Line, as the Swiss-Italian operator widens its gulf with its Danish rival, with a fleet that is greater by 2.5 million TEU.
Linerlytica said in its report this week that the 2000-built 6,008 TEU GSL Violetta has been committed to MSC for 36 to 38 months, at privately agreed rates.
Going rates for a 6,509 TEU ship are US$67,000 per day, according to MB Shipbrokers (formerly Maersk Broker).
