Greek container feedership specialist Contships Management has resumed expansion, buying two ships it first set its sights on more than two years ago.

It has agreed to pay $11m ­enbloc for the 1,267-teu Beatriz B (built 2008) and Veronica B (built 2007), market sources said.

TradeWinds reported in July 2017 that Contships founder Nikolas Pateras was interested in buying the duo.
