The 5,089-teu Wehr Hong Kong (built 2006) has been sold to Chinese interests for around $7.2m.

It follows last month’s sale of the 5,089-teu Wehr Singapore (built 2005) to China’s Shenzhen Hui Hong for a slightly higher price of about $6.9m.

The deal marks the latest in a string of containerships sold by Hamburg-based Wehr as it winds down what was an 11-strong boxship fleet in order to focus on dry bulk.
