MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has sold yet another of its oldest container ships.

The recycling sale of the 2,394-teu MSC Nilgun (built 1994) comes within two weeks of the most prolific buyer of secondhand container ships acquiring the 3,586-teu AS Nadia (built 2007) and 1,496-teu AS Ragna (built 2009) from MPC Container Ships

The MSC Nilgun, which was beached upon arrival at Alang in India on 26 April, was sold to an MSC-approved green recycling facility for a reported $565 per ldt, or $7.1m
