First delivery is expected in the second half of 2028, with each vessel to operate under a ten-year time charter, with extension options, to a top 5 liner company, MPCC said.
With a total investment of $292.5 million, the initial charter period is expected to generate approximately $479 million in revenue and around $288 million in EBITDA. The project will be financed through a balanced mix of equity and debt.
