Seaspan Corporation announced that it has accepted delivery of its 31st vessel, the CSCL Sao Paulo. The 2,500-teu newbuilding, which was constructed by Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., is the second of its size in Seaspan's fleet. The CSCL Sao Paulo was delivered August 7, 2008, approximately 16 weeks ahead of the original delivery schedule. The CSCL Sao Paulo is subject to a time charter with China Shipping Container Lines (Asia) Co., Ltd. for a 12-year period. CSCL Asia is a subsidiary of China Shipping Container Lines Co., Ltd., the world's seventh largest liner company in terms of shipping capacity. Under the terms of the fixed-rate time charter, CSCL Asia is responsible for fuel costs and all cargo operating and related expenses. Gerry Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Seaspan, commented, "We are pleased to take delivery of the CSCL Sao Paulo nearly four months ahead of schedule. This vessel is the second in a series of eight 2,500-teu vessels to be built by Jiangsu and chartered to CSCL Asia, a major liner company with a strong credit history. With the delivery of the CSCL Sao Paulo, we have further diversified our high-quality vessel portfolio and strengthened our fixed revenue and cash flow streams. We remain on track to take delivery of 37 remaining newbuildings over the next three years, including four additional 2,500-teu vessels in 2008. In the meantime, we are continuing to look for opportunities to execute our growth strategy and take advantage of the $850 million available to us in immediate liquidity."
