Earlier in the year, SinOceanic Shipping ASA (“SINO”) announced the acquisition of three 13,100 TEU container vessels, the MSC Vega, MSC Altair and MSC Regalus together with 15-year time charters to MSC. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered from Hyundai in January, February and April 2012 respectively. The three vessels were purchased en bloc for $464.8 million, with $58 million in pre-delivery and deposit installments financed through shareholder loans from SINO’s sponsor and largest shareholder, Oceanus International Investment AS, a company owned by HNA Group Co. Limited, who is the ultimate beneficiary of a 33.33% shareholding in SINO.
