Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Maritime has sealed the purchase of a pair of containerships from Germany’s Offen Group in a deal that has been closely watched this week, market sources say.
London-headquartered Zodiac secured the 8,845-teu Santa Laura (built 2006) and Santa Livia (built 2007) in a swoop that sets a new low benchmark price for containerships of this size.
A price upwards of $29m en bloc is understood to have been paid for the pair, which VesselsValue says were worth around $44.5m
