GREECE's Navios Group has wrapped up the purchase of five
containerships from various distressed German owners with the arrival of the
last vessel involved in the deal that marks the company's first inroads into
the container shipping sector.
They are part of a 10-ship deal arranged in April 2013
with German bank HSH Nordbank that also included five product tankers.
The fifth containership, the 3,108 TEU FESCO Almathea, is
to join the fleet of Navios Europe Inc.
Built in 2007 originally for clients of Hamburg-based NSC
Schiffahrt, she is currently on charter to FESCO, who operates the vessel on
its Russia-South China Direct Line (FCDL South), run jointly with CMA CGM.
The four other containerships involved in the deal have
been progressively transferred over the past six months, reports Paris-based
Alphaliner.
They are the 2,007 TEU Esperanza N, previously controlled
by Christian F Ahrenkiel; the 2,741 TEU Protostar N, previous Schoeller
Holdings; the 2,826 TEU Harmony N, originally controlled by Christian F
Ahrenkiel; and the Norddeutsche Vermoegen Group 3,380 TEU Solar N.
Last October, Navios purchased five 6,765 TEU
containerships built in 2006 from London-based Zodiac Maritime Agencies. These
ships are on a 10-year charter to Hyundai Merchant Marine.
