A double boxship sale by Germany’s Offen Group is expected to establish a sharp fall in asset values.

Greek owner Evangelos Marinakis was being linked to the 8,845-teu sisterships Santa Laura (built 2006) and Santa Livia (built 2007) in a $29m en bloc swoop.

However, market sources now guide that no transaction was secured and the ships are now thought to be heading elsewhere.
