Another 14 ships takes MPC’s box fleet to 58
The fastest growing new containership owner in the world continues to impress with its scale and speed of acquisitions. MPC Container Ships, part of MPC Capital, has just announced it has bought another 14 ships taking its fleet to 58 vessels in around just one year.
The $139.5m outlay sees MPC take on four 1,300 teu ships, four 1,500 teu ones, two 1,800 ones, a pair of larger 2,500 teu vessels and a couple of 2,800 teu ships.
MPC Container Ships said the deal will be completed this quarter without revealing from where the ships are coming and that it would be able to buy all the ships with its own cash.
