JOHN Fredriksen's Ship Finance International has bought four 14,000 TEU container vessels attached to long-term time-charters with an Asian container line.
Both the seller and price were not revealed, and payment will be made via a mix of cash and around 4 million new shares in Ship Finance International. Financing of the cash portion is through cash on hand and a US$320 million unsecured loan from Mr Fredriksen's Hemen Holding, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
The four 2014-built vessels are due to be delivered imminently and the time charters attached to the vessels run until 2024, and include options to extend by 18 months.
Ole B Hjertaker, CEO of Ship Finance Management, commented: "This acquisition highlights Ship Finance's strength and ability to achieve sustained growth and continued diversification. We are deploying a part of the recently raised capital, but still have capacity for new accretive opportunities. Over the last two months we have added nearly $600 million to our charter backlog and expect to continue increasing our fleet of vessels and charter backlog in 2018."
