Hong Kong-based Cido Shipping has sold a pair of sub-3,000teu Boxships to Turkey's Arkas Denizcilik.

The fast expanding Turkish line is believed to be paying US$9.5m per unit for the sister ships, Maersk Jubail and Maersk Jaipur. The ships were built at Hyundai Mipo nine years ago and have capacities of 2,824 teu each.
