Hong Kong-Brunei joint venture Amann Shipping Group is expanding its investment in veteran feeder containerships.

It looks set to bring its total fleet to seven ships, including three dry cargoships up to panamax size.

Public records show that Amann is behind the February purchase of the Imabari built 1,032-teu Heung A Asia (now Padian 3, built 1998) with charter attached.
