Seaspan Corp is pocketing $16.4m from the sales of four panamax containerships it acquired only eight months ago from the wreckage of Hanjin Shipping.

The New York-listed containership tonnage provider is said to have sold the Samsung-built, 4,275-teu Seaspan Grouse (ex-Hanjin Gydnia), Seaspan Alps (ex-Hanjin Atlanta), Seaspan Mourne (ex-Hanjin Monaco, all built 2009), and Seaspan Kenya (ex-Hanjin Kingston, built 2008) for $9.7m
