Greece’s Danaos Corporation has succeeded in selling a veteran boxship while welcoming a huge new addition to its fleet.



The New York-listed owner said the 2,130-teu Montreal (built 1984), formerly Hanjin Montreal, went for $6.6m to an unnamed third party.



It was one of nine largely elderly panamaxes slated for redelivery to the company this year. TradeWinds reported last month that charters could be hard to find for the vessels.
