Minerva buys another modern boxship

Greek owner Minerva has bought the three-year-old, 1,781 teu Mindoro boxship from Germany’s Briese Schiffahrt for $31.5m.

The sale makes a tidy profit for the German owner, who ordered the ship in 2021 for $26m, according to data from Alphaliner.

The ship has been renamed Little Symphony and it remains on charter to Hapag-Lloyd through to the final quarter of this year. The deal takes the Minerva box fleet to seven ships, all built in 2022 or after.
