Spliethoff Group has confirmed its purchase of five multipurpose (MPP) heavylift vessels from the fleet of bankrupt operator Hansa Heavy Lift (HHL).
The Dutch MPP operator has acquired four 12,750-dwt F-type ships and one 20,100-dwt P-type for an undisclosed price.
It is buying the vessels a month after the German company was declared insolvent with a fleet of 11 heavylift MPP ships.
