Korea Development Bank appears to have succeeded in offloading a pair of former Hanjin Shipping post-pananamax containerships.

Shipbrokers report that the 8,590-teu Hanjin New York and Hanjin Hamburg (built 2011) have fetched $25m each.

The ships, which were both built at Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, are said to have been purchased by South Korean interests.

The boxships were among 12 ships that KDB was seeking to sell in the week of the liquidation of Hanjin, the South Korean liner giant for whom KDB was a major lender.
