Oslo-listed Borealis Finance has sold two sub-panamax containerships estimated to be worth $30m en bloc.

The 2,556-teu Bomar Caen (built 2004) and 2,478-teu Rossini (built 2005) have been bought by unnamed liner operators that will take delivery in the third quarter of the year.

The two ships were acquired from German interests in 2015 by Embarcadero Maritime, an investment company established by Borealis Finance’s ship-management operation Borealis Maritime and US private equity giant KKR.
