Belships Secures Strategic Sale and Leaseback Arrangement with Japanese Firm
Belships, the renowned Norwegian supramax shipping company, has embarked on a significant strategic move by entering into a sale and leaseback agreement with a Japanese partner for its 61,000 deadweight ton (dwt) bulk carrier, Belforest. This vessel is currently being constructed at Imabari Shipbuilding in Japan. Under the terms of the deal, Belships will sell Belforest and subsequently lease it back for a 12-year term, with the flexibility of purchase options beginning in the third year of the lease. This arrangement not only underscores Belships' commitment to expanding its fleet but also highlights its innovative financing strategies in a competitive maritime market.
