  • Multiple factors including economic slow-down, inflation, Ukraine-Russia war, etc., putting downward pressure on market
  • Charter expiry: 2 in Q4 2022 and 11 during 2023 (early dates of charter expiration)

Regarding the forward charters, I did sorta gloss over an additional point. The current charterer on six of those vessels is CMA CGM, paying $25,910 daily per vessel. I believe, the next charterer is Hapag Lloyd and the charter terms were reported in EBITDA terms $13.1M annual per vessel. That’s a really nice rate bump. But, that doesn’t happen till late 2023 - early 2024.
