The carve up of the defunct Hanjin Shipping fleet is now just about complete with news Evangelos Marinakis’s Capital Ship Management has snaffled up five big sister boxships.
Brokers report Marinakis is paying $31m per ship for the 9,954 teu quintet Hanjin United Kingdom, Hanjin Netherlands, Hanjin Spain, Hanjin Korea and Hanjin China.
All the ships were built at Samsung Heavy Industries and delivered in 2010 and 2011.
Hanjin Shipping was declared bankrupt last month, becoming the largest casualty in container shipping’s history.
