Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) continues its relentless buying spree with the purchase of another two neo-panamax boxships worth an estimated $200m in total.
The Geneva-based liner company is reported to have bought the 9,034-teu Skyros and Symi I (both built 2014) from Embiricos-controlled International Maritime Enterprises.
The wide-beam vessels are believed to be costing around $100m per vessel.
That would take the liner operator's spending in the neo-panamax sector to around $400m in April alone.
