The Company expects the Vessels to be delivered to the buyer at the latest by April 27, 2018.
Upon completion of the aforementioned sale and the previously announced sales of two Post-Panamax container vessels and one Panamax container vessel, Diana Containerships Inc.’s fleet will consist of 6 container vessels (4 Post-Panamax and 2 Panamax).

In January 2018, the company sold two vessels - m/v March and the m/v Great - each a 2004 built containership, for an aggregate price of US$22.0 million to an unaffiliated third party.
