OWNER and operator of containerships and drybulk carriers, Navios Maritime Partners will purchase the entire Rickmers Maritime fleet of 28 ships for US$113 million.
The purchase is made up of 14 containerships, 11 of which are 4,250-TEUers and three 3,450-TEUers with an average age of 9.5 years.
Five of the 4,2500-TEU ships are employed on charters that have staggered expirations in 2018 and early 2019 at a net daily charter rate of US$26,850, reported London's Port Technology International.
Said Navios CEO Angeliki Frangou: "We anticipate acquiring five 4,250 TEU vessels on May 15, 2017. This acquisition demonstrates our ability to source proprietary deals, and we are continuing to seek exposure in the container sector."
Rickmers Maritime became insolvent after failing to make a repayment of $200 million.
