New York-listed Navios Maritime Acquisition Corp has pushed ahead with the sale of more vessels inherited from a dissolved shipowning vehicle amid a surging containership market.

Athens-based brokers reported that the company, which is led by chief executive Angeliki Frangou, has sold the 1,700-teu sisterships Acrux N and Vita N (both built 2010) to China’s Goto Shipping for $9.5m each.
