German shipowner Carsten Rehder is hiving off its last two container ships to tonnage-hungry liner operators.
It is selling the 1,700-teu Torres Strait and Tasman Strait (both built 2008) for around $17m each, according to sale-and-purchase sources.
The Tasman Strait is believed to have gone to Swiss giant MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, while the Torres Strait has reportedly been purchased by France’s CMA CGM.
