In addition, SFL recently chartered the 1,700 teu feeder boxsip Green Ace to Maersk until the fourth quarter of 2024.
Maersk has also exercised options to keep three SFL’s 8,700 to 9,500 teu vessels for one more year in a deal worth about $30m.
SFL has a diversified fleet of 76 wholly or partly owned vessels and newbuilds under construction. The company’s container fleet stands at 34 ships, most of which are on long-term charter to major liners.
