Borealis Maritime has boosted its container fleet with the addition of two second-hand ships.

The London-based company has picked up the 2,800-teu Chiloe Island (built 2006) and Louds Island (built 2005), chief executive Christoph Toepfer confirms.

It is not clear how much Borealis has paid for the pair from Soundview Martime of the US.

VesselsValue prices the former at $11.13m
