The company was formed in 2007 to acquire a fleet of a dozen containerships from its parent, French marine transportation giant CMA CGM , and then lease the vessels back to CMA CGM on long-term, fixed-rate charters. In August 2008, CMA CGM sold a controlling stake in Global Ship Lease to Marathon Acquisition, a publicly traded "blank check" company. The combined company took the Global Ship Lease name and now owns a fleet of about 20 containerships ranging in size from about 2,200 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) to nearly 11,000 TEU, with an overall capacity of more than 74,000 TEU.
