Three containerships are to be sold in Malta after Bank of America Merrill Lynch obtained a court order.

The 2,872-teu sisterships Algorrobo (built 2009), Andes (built 2008) and Andino (built 2007) will be auctioned by the Civil Court in Valletta on 30 September.

The sales will be on an "as is, where is" basis, the sales notice says.
