German buyers emerge as new owners of smaller boxships

Several small boxships sold before or during the lockdown period have ended up in the hands of German buyers.

They include Hamburg-based Okee Maritime, which has emerged as the new owner of the 1,732-teu Cape Nati (built 2009).

The vessel is the sixth containership bought by Okee, a six-year-old company with a growing fleet of feeder containerships bought cheaply on the secondhand market.
