A handful of active buyers dominated the secondhand boxship market last year, although investors are increasingly reluctant to invest in larger non-scrubber fitted boxships, according to French shipbroker BRS.
The annual review of the Paris-based shipbroker lists just five tonnage providers as accounting for one-third of containerships purchased from the secondhand market in 2018.
Topping the list was Germany’s MPC Capital, which acquired 31 units last year, including internal transactions.
