Dragnis family outfit Goldenport Shipmanagement has purchased a Japanese-controlled boxship in a deal that marks the company’s first expansion in the sector since the autumn of 2017.
A company executive confirmed the acquisition of the 1,700-teu Maersk Wismar (built 2010) but declined to reveal further details.
Several brokers reported the Imabari Shipbuilding-constructed vessel had changed hands for $8.3m.
Ever since it scrapped the larger, 5,700-teu Fortunate (built 1996) in December 2017, Goldenport has been focusing its containership activities exclusively on feeder vessels.
