Norwegian asset manager Ness, Risan & Partners (NRP) has expanded its containership fleet by buying majority stakes in two feeder vessels.

Company partner Ragnvald Risan told TradeWinds that NRP had acquired 75% of the 2,169-teu Thorswind and Thorsky (both built 1999) from domestic owner Thor Dahl Shipping.

This was done with a number of other unnamed investors, he said.
