MSC responsible for a quarter of boxship recycling deals as two more are scrapped

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company’s sale of two additional container ships for recycling brings the total to 12 ships owned or bareboat chartered from its close partner, Niki Shipping, that have been recycled this year.

Reported sold over the past week were the 1,893-teu MSC Gabriella (built 1985) and the 1,524-teu MSC Agata II (built 1994), both of which have gone to Alang-based ship recycling facilities.
