Ageing ship sold to Albanian interests

Wilson has sold the "Wilson Riga" to an Albanian company for $ 520,000. The ship was due to a scheduled docking and Wilson found it not viable to do so because of its age. The ship moored off Durres on June 1, 2016. Wilson will still operate a fleet of 113 ships after the sale, of which 80 are owned and controlled by the company.
