Business
Global Ship Lease, Inc. owns and charters containerships under fixed-rate time charters to container shipping companies worldwide; its fleet comprises 70 mid-sized and smaller containerships with capacities ranging from 2,207 to 11,040 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU), providing an aggregate capacity of 404,681 TEU as of March 2025. The company focuses on post-Panamax and smaller vessels serving non-Mainlane and intra-regional trades; key customers include Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM; operations span global container shipping routes with vessels deployed internationally. Founded in 2007 through a spin-off from CMA CGM and formerly known as Marathon Acquisition Corp. until its name change in August 2008, Global Ship Lease, Inc. maintains its headquarters in Athens, Greece, as a Marshall Islands corporation with administrative offices there. In December 2025, the company agreed to acquire three 2010/2011-built, 8,600-TEU ECO-upgraded Korean containerships for $90 million from cash on hand, with delivery expected around year-end 2025 and attached below-market charters to a leading liner company through mid-2030, expanding the fleet to 71 vessels and 422,567 TEU; earlier in 2025, it sold four older, smaller vessels, recycling capital into newer assets.
