FSL Trust Management Pte.
Ltd. (“FSLTM”), as trustee-manager of First Ship Lease Trust (“FSL Trust” or
the “Trust”) announced that its product tanker, ‘FSL Hamburg’, will be
chartered to Petròleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”) on a three-year time
charter contract. This will be FSL Trust’s second time charter contract with
Petrobras.
Subject to physical
inspection of the vessel by Petrobras, ‘FSL Hamburg’ will be chartered on a
gross daily charter rate of US$14,000 per day for a period of three years from
the third quarter of 2012.
As an update to the
announcement on 28 March 2012, the Trust would like to confirm that its product
tanker, ‘FSL Singapore’, has cleared its physical inspection with Petrobras.
FSL Trust has incorporated a
wholly-owned subsidiary, FSL Netherlands B.V., a private limited company in
Amsterdam, to enter into the two time charter contracts directly with
Petrobras. FSL Netherlands B.V. will in turn enter into back-to-back
arrangements with FSL-18 Pte. Ltd. and FSL-19 Pte. Ltd.
These arrangements will
allow FSL Trust to take advantage of efficient tax structuring for these time
charters.
