ATHENS, GREECE, November 10, 2015 - Diana Containerships Inc. (NASDAQ: DCIX), (the "Company"), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of containerships, today reported a net loss of $9.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to net income of $1.4 million for the respective period of 2014. The loss for the third quarter was mainly the result of $8.3 million of direct sale and other charges associated with the disposal of the vessel Garnet, without which the result for the third quarter of 2015 would have been a net loss of $0.8 million.
Time charter revenues, net of prepaid charter revenue amortization, were $16.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $13.0 million for the same period of 2014, mainly due to the enlargement of our fleet resulting from the acquisition of six vessels from September 2014 to September 2015, partly offset by reduced time charter rates and increased off-hire days.
