It looks like they announced a syndicated loan up to $850M to fully fund their newbuild program (compared to the $1,100M you had estimated, if I'm interpreting correctly).

Thank you! I understood it as they will use $850m proceeds to finance it, with the rest being funded in cash. However, when I read the company's Q4 transcript, it does seem like it is $850m of obligation:
'On 7th of February 2025, we entered into an $850 million syndicated loan facility agreement to finance all of our remaining new building container vessels including the two additional recent orders, all of which have deliveries between 2026 and 2028. '
We will know the exact amount when the 20-F comes out. But if it is 850m vs my 1,100m, that's incrementally positive.
To close the loop; obligations left related to the newbuild program is $1257m for 16 ships. My $1100m math was for 15 ships. Looks like they added one more. I wasn't too far off
Thanks for the write-up- great profile.

Ah that makes sense. In any event, the investment case is compelling.
