Global Ship Lease exercised options to build two additional mid-size, ultra-high-reefer, wide-beam containerships for approximately $163 million, lifting its newbuilding orderbook to 17 ships. The two vessels are scheduled for delivery in Q4 2029, with charterer discussions underway; the Executive Chairman noted the contract prices were agreed earlier this year and are no longer available for comparably specified 2029-delivery ships.
