Hammonia Reederei is teaming up with private-equity investors to invest in the containership sector.
The Hamburg company has established a separate outfit, Hammonia Containership Co, which has secured private-equity backing to acquire secondhand ships, chief executive Karsten Liebing confirms.
German sources believe the new outfit has negotiated a number of prospective deals but has not yet made any moves. They believe it is targetting low-priced ships to benefit from rising charter rates and asset values.
