Denmark’s Navigare Capital Partners has moved to add more containerships to its portfolio through a deal for up to six newbuildings in China.
The Copenhagen-based alternative investment fund manager has signed up for four firm 4,300 teu vessels at Taizhou Sanfu Shipbuilding with options for two more, according to Clarksons.
No price has been revealed for the vessels estimated for delivery between 2027 and 2028.
Navigare was established in 2017 by Maersk chairman Robert Maersk Uggla and four well-known shipping executives.
The company currently has three funds under management with operating assets in addition to containers, including bulkers, tankers, gas carriers and offshore wind support vessels.
Its most recent involvement in boxship newbuildings included a series of six 2,700 teu feeder vessels (pictured) delivered between 2023 and 2024 through a partnership with Schoeller Holdings.
According to Clarksons, 18 boxships totalling 0.2m teu have been ordered in the year to date.
