Two vessels chartered by Maersk Line have been sold into Japan.

Brokers say the 13,102-teu sisters Maersk Edirne and Maersk Eureka (both built 2012) have gone to Nissen Kaiun.

A price of $46m was placed on each of the vessels.

They were first ordered by Hanjin and taken over by HSH in 2016 amid financial troubles for the South Korean shipowner.
