Key business highlights

  • Focus on mid-sized and smaller container ships, with 96% contract coverage for 2026 and 74% for 2027.

  • Nearly $2 billion in contracted revenues over an average 2.5-year duration.

Market environment and industry trends

  • Charter market for mid-sized and smaller ships has shrunk, increasing scarcity value and supporting strong rates and durations.

  • Geopolitical volatility and supply chain fragmentation have increased demand for flexible shipping capacity.

  • Intra-Asia trade is the largest and rapidly growing segment, driven by supply chain dispersion.

  • Order book for smaller vessels is low, suggesting a tighter market ahead.

  • High reefer capacity ships are in demand due to growth in refrigerated cargo.

Financial and operational performance

  • Revenue, net income, and EBITDA have risen sharply over the past five years.

  • Outstanding debt reduced from $950 million in 2022 to below $700 million by end of 2025, targeting under $600 million.

  • Financial leverage down from 8.4x to 0.5x, with cost of debt at 4.34%.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
