Godby Shipping’s RoRo Midas has been time-chartered by CMA CGM until December 2026.
Before, Midas will undergo class renewal docking in Turkey. After the dry dock, Midas will replace Mimer (photo) in the Caribbean.
Subsequently, Mimer will go for her class renewal docking and will then be available for new opportunities.
Godby Shipping estimates that the dry docking of both vessels will extend their lifespans by approximately 10 years.
