MPC Capital continues growth strategy with boxship purchase

MPC Capital is returning to the large containership sector.

Investors working with the German company have purchased the 6,350-teu Hamburg (built 2009) from Diana Containerships for about $21m, sources said.

The vessel will be technically and commercially managed by MPC Capital’s subsidiaries Ahrenkiel Steamship and Contchart.

The deal continues a dual-pronged strategy that has seen MPC Capital involved in various transactions for larger containerships in the past 18 months.
