Buyers emerge for Maersk ships in 'second death of P&O Nedlloyd'

Greek and German groups have emerged as the new owners of five AP Moller-Maersk boxships sold in controversial sale-and-leaseback deals.

The Danish owner sold the Dutch-flagged vessels — comprising the 2,890-teu Maersk Penang, 2,902-teu Maersk Palermo, 6,690-teu Maersk Kalmar and Maersk Kimi (all built 1998), and the 6,802-teu Maersk Kampala (built 2001) — and chartered them back under different registers.
