Compagnie Maritime Belge (CMB) is said to be selling three 2,592-teu container ships to French liner operator CMA CGM.

The Belgian shipowner’s container shipping division Delphis is selling the ice-class vessels in an en-bloc deal worth about $150m, according to European brokers.

The ships are said to be the Maersk Niagara (built 2008), Maersk Niamey and Maersk Nijmegen (both built 2009).
