Zim has acquired two 14-year-old neo-panamax container ships from tonnage provider Seaspan Corp.
The Israeli liner operator bought the 8,586-teu sister ships Charleston and Shenzhen (both built 2011) in a deal worth an estimated $160m.
They have been bought ahead of their charters expiring in two years, Zim chief financial officer Xavier Destriau told TradeWinds.
