Global Ship Lease

Global Ship Lease Inc. is a containership leasing company that owns and charters a diversified fleet of mid-sized and smaller container vessels to liner operators worldwide. The company’s business model centers on fixed-rate time charters, providing contracted cash flows and capacity to global container shipping companies involved in international trade and logistics. Its fleet consists of dozens of vessels across a range of sizes, with capacities from roughly 2,000 to over 11,000 TEU, allowing it to serve various trade lanes and port infrastructures, including routes that favor mid-size and Post-Panamax ships. Headquartered in Athens, Greece and founded in 2007, Global Ship Lease plays a role as an independent tonnage provider in the container shipping ecosystem, enabling carriers to flexibly manage fleet size and composition without fully owning all deployed vessels. Through its focus on chartering and fleet management, the company contributes to the efficiency and reliability of containerized cargo transportation across key global markets.
