Rickmers Maritime
Rickmers Maritime Welcomes Its First Newbuilding For 2009


Rickmers Trust Management Pte. Ltd., Trustee-Manager of Mainboard-listed Rickmers Maritime (the “Trust”), announced on Janaury 6, 2009 that it had accepted delivery of its 14th vessel, MOL Destiny. Constructed by China’s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. Ltd., the new containership expands the Trust’s current operating fleet to 14 vessels, with another five newbuildings expected to be delivered in the current year.

MOL Destiny is time chartered to Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (“Mitsui”) for a period of 10 years. The containership is the fourth in a series of five 4,250 TEU vessels that are chartered to Mitsui, one of the largest and most reputable shipping companies in the world. The fifth vessel, MOL Devotion, is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2009.

“We believe our strategy of acquiring vessels with long term charters to leading liner companies will pay off amid the current market instability. Not only are we unaffected by fluctuations in freight rates, we also enjoy a stable and highly predictable revenue stream,” said Mr Thomas Preben Hansen, CEO of Rickmers Trust Management Pte. Ltd. “We look forward to accepting delivery of more vessels this year, which will further expand our fleet of quality containerships, increase our revenue and enhance our returns to Unitholders,” he added.
