German owner MPC Container Ships (MPCC) has said profitable boxship sales can still be achieved despite subdued markets.
The comments came after the Oslo-listed shipowner managed to offload two 1,024-teu vessels, AS Leona and AS Lauretta (both built 2008), last month for $6.5m each to an Asian operator, beating analysts' price valuations by $400,000 per vessel.
And MPCC chief executive Constantin Baack said the price outstripped shipbroking indices by more than that.
