Norwegian boxship newcomer Awilco Container is fetching top dollar for a trio of panamaxes sold to Quanzhou Ansheng Shipping.

The Chinese domestic liner operator is understood to be paying a shade under $15m per vessel for three traditional panamax boxships that the Oslo-based owner acquired just four months ago.

Awilco Container has wasted no time in disposing of the DSME-built sisterships, the 4,395-teu AS Mariella, AS Mariana (both built 2010) and AS Magnolia (built 2009), European shipbrokers and other market sources tell TradeWinds.
