Spain’s JSV Logistic has acquired its first-ever owned vessel—a 1,200 teu containership nearing completion at a Chinese shipyard (pictured) —marking a strategic shift from its long-standing reliance on the charter market. Alphaliner is reporting the vessel was purchased for EUR38m ($43.3m) from German shipowner Reederei Jüngerhans. To be renamed Mila Green, the vessel will be methanol-ready and fitted with alternative marine power when it delivers next year to be deployed on JSV’s Alicante–Canary Islands service. Founded in 1994 by the Herzog family, JSV Logistic focuses on routes between mainland Spain, Turkey, and the Canary Islands. Until now, the company had operated entirely through chartered tonnage. Its current fleet includes four chartered vessels ranging in size from 749 to 1,036 teu. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsSpain
