Eimskip is selling two of its oldest containerships for a combined $3.9m.

The 1,457-teu Godafoss and Laxfoss (both built 1995) will be charted back to Eimskip, which operates them on its Red Line service, connecting Iceland to Scandinavia.

They have been operated by Eimskip for nearly 20 years.

The vessels will be delivered to an unnamed buyer at the beginning of next year.
