Significant events
- “In January 2026, the Group committed to purchasing another newbuild vessel as part of its fleet renewal program. This vessel will be built and deliver to the Group in 2028.”
- “A motor vessel was delivered in April 2026, previously recognised as an asset under construction in the Group.”
- “An associated entity sold both of the vessels it owned post year end and became dormant as a result. There is no change to the investment value at year end.”
- “During the year, the group disposed of the goodwill previously acquired in an associated entity. This was as a direct result of the ships in this entity being committed to sale as at the end of 2025, and ahead of the liquidation of the entity due to occur in 2026.”
