Exhibit 15.1

Report of Independent Auditors

To the board of directors of MPC Container Ships ASA

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of MPC Container Ships ASA (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Other Matter

The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes, were not audited, reviewed or compiled by us and accordingly, we express no opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

•

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

•

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting Principles

1.1 Accounting Principles for the Consolidated Financial Statements

General information

MPC Container Ships ASA (“the Company”) is a public limited liability company (Norwegian: allmennaksjeselskap) incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with registered address at Ruseløkkveien 34, 0251 Oslo, Norway, and Norwegian registered enterprise number 918494316. The Company was incorporated on January 9, 2017 and commenced operations in April 2017, when the first vessels were acquired. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Group”). The principal activity of the Group is to invest in and to operate maritime assets in the container shipping segment.

The shares of the Company are listed at the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MPCC. MPC Container Ships ASA is the parent company in the Group.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 26, 2026.

Basis of preparation and measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared to meet the requirements of Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X for inclusion in Castor Maritime Inc.’s (Castor) Annual Report on Form 20-F. Comparative information is provided for informational purposes only and has not been audited.

These Consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union (EU).

These consolidated financial statements are derived from those that were originally authorized for issue and published by MPC Container Ships ASA (ticker: MPCC) on Oslo Børs on March 27, 2026. They have been reissued for the sole purpose of inclusion in Castor’s Form 20-F. Events occurred between March 27, 2026, and the date of reissuance have been treated according to IAS 10 Events after Reporting Period, with no impact on the amounts presented or disclosed and no material subsequent event requiring disclosures.

The Group has historically prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union (EU), with no differences from IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and these financial statements are consequently a continuation of that established basis of accounting.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of historical cost, with some exceptions where fair value measurement is applied. These exceptions are specifically disclosed in the accounting policies sections in relevant notes:

+ Note 7.2 Financial Instruments

All assets and liabilities for which fair values are measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

+ Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

+ Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 are directly or indirectly observable.

+ Level 3: Inputs are unobservable.

The Group has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as going concern.

Certain amounts in the comparable years have been restated or reclassified to conform to current year presentation. All amounts in the consolidated financial statements are denominated in US dollars (USD), which is the functional currency of the parent company of the Group. All financial information presented in USD has been rounded to the nearest thousand USD, except otherwise indicated.

The Group’s financial year corresponds to the calendar year.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include MPC Container ASA and its subsidiaries in which the Company exercises control. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group, using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all companies where the Group has a controlling interest. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date on which control ceases.

Companies that constitute the Group are listed in Note 6.2.

Accounting policy related to joint ventures, associated companies are presented in Note 6.

Foreign currency translation

In accordance with IAS 21, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transaction.

Financial reporting policies

The material financial reporting policies are described in the relevant notes in the consolidated financial statements and in the notes in the financial statements of the parent company.

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on the current or non-current classification.

The cash flow statement of the Group is prepared using the indirect method. Liquid assets include cash, bank deposits (restricted and unrestricted) and other shirt-term investments which can be converted within 3 months.

New and amended standards and interpretations

The Group’s intention is to adopt the relevant new and amended standards and interpretations when they become effective. During the current financial period, the Group has adopted all relevant new and revised Standards and Interpretations that were issued by the IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) of the IASB. The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments issued by the IASB and the IFRIC are effective for the current financial year end:

+ Amendments to IAS 21 – Lack of Exchangeability

The above new or amended accounting standards did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or relevant for the Group.

Standards issued but not yet effective

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

+ Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments

+ IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

+ IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures

Management assesses that none of the issued standards (except IFRS 18) and amendments not yet in effect will materially impact the recognition and measurement policies of the Group.

The Group has started to assess the impact of IFRS 18, which will lead to changes in the presentation of the consolidated statement of profit or loss and in related disclosures, including reclassifications between line items and additional note information

1.2 Significant Judgement, Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements conforming to IFRS® Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that may affect assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and information in notes to these financial statements. Estimates are management’s best assessment based on information available at the date the financial statements are authorized for issue. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. The main areas where judgements and estimates have been made are prescribed in each of the following notes:

+ Note 5.1 Vessels and Newbuildings

+ Note 5.2 Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment Charges

Note 2 Financial Performance

2.1 Segment Information

Accounting policy

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers in the Group. The chief operating decision maker who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments has been identified as the Board of Directors of the Company.

All of the Group’s vessels earn revenue from a single market, which is the seaborne container transportation. The vessels exhibit similar economic, trading and financial characteristics. The Group is organized in one reportable operating segment, i.e. the container shipping segment. Our vessels operate globally and therefore management does not evaluate performance by geographical region and is therefore considered to be only one operating segment. The Group, nevertheless, provides geographical data on revenue for disclosure purposes only. The table below shows time charter revenues per geographical region as at period end and at the time the vessel was redelivered .

Africa	56,585	31,131
Other geographical locations (worldwide trades)	76,340	64,547
Total time charter	510,836	528,434

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group had three customers (2024: four) who each accounted for 10% or more for the consolidated revenues in the amount of USD 218.3 million, USD 80.2 million and USD 64.6 million respectively (2024: USD151.6 million, USD 53.8 million, USD 53.3 million and USD 52.3 million respectively). These three customers accounted for 70.1% of the total revenues for 2025 (2024: 59.5%).

2.2 Revenues and Other Revenues

Accounting policy

Revenue recognition

The Group derives its revenue from time charters of its vessels. These charters involve placing the specified vessel at charterers use of specified rental period of time in return for payment of specified daily hire rates. Most of the charters include options for the charterers to extend the terms. Revenue from the Group’s time charters is accounted for as operating leases, on a straight-line basis, for a shorter period of the vessels’ useful life, over the average fixed rentals over the minimum fixed rental period of the time charter agreements, as service is performed. Charter hire received in advance is recorded under “Deferred revenue” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until charter services are rendered. Invoiced revenue related to an estimated proportion of remaining voyage time and activities at the destination port is deferred. Under a time charter, the daily hire rate includes lease component related to the right of use of the vessel and non-lease components primarily related to the operating expenses of the vessel incurred by the Group such as commissions, vessel operating expenses that are reimbursed from the charterers such as crew expenses, lubricants, certain insurance expenses, repair and maintenance, spares, stores etc. and vessel management fees. The lease component of the vessel represents the use of the vessel without any associated performance obligations and is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases while revenues from time charter services (non-lease) and other revenues (e.g. bunkers and other services) are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15. The daily hire rate includes consideration for both components, which is allocated based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling price of the service component is determined based on the estimated costs of operating the vessel plus an appropriate margin. The non-lease components from the Group’s time charter contracts are recognized over time, as the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue from bunkers and other goods and services from customers are recognized in the period the goods or services are transferred to the customer, following the “point in time principle.

The Group’s time charter contracts may include clauses which give the right to recover the cost to purchase EU emission allowances or to secure compliance with on FuelEU Maritime regulation from a charterer. For such contracts, the related income is recognized as Emission revenues and included in the total charter revenues, while the associated compliance costs, including any penalties, are recognized within vessel voyage expenses.

Other revenues	6,967	11,414
Total revenues	517,803	540,860

When a time charter contract is linked to an index, we recognize revenue for the applicable period based on the actual index for that period. In 2025, none of our vessels were index-linked

(2024: four) and 17 vessels were on variable rate time charter (2024: four). The lease and non-lease components of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

2.3 Vessel Voyage Expenditures

2.6 Gain (loss) from Sale of Vessels and Other Property, Plant and Equipment

Accounting policy

Vessels and other property, plant and equipment are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period the asset is derecognized.

Note 3 Income Taxes

3.1 Income Tax Reconciliation

Accounting policy

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the relevant taxation authorities.

The Company is subject to tax on its income in accordance with the general tax rules pertaining to companies that are tax resident in Norway.

The Company’s vessel-owning subsidiaries are subject to the Norwegian, German or Dutch tonnage tax regime, i.e. taxable income is calculated as a lump sum depending on the net tonnage of the respective vessels, independent of the realized earnings. Income not derived from the operation of the vessels in international waters, such as financial income, is usually taxed according to the ordinary taxation rules applicable in the resident country of each respective company. Tonnage taxes are classified as Vessel Operating Expenditures.

Deferred tax liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities and are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized.

The Groups ship owning entities are tonnage tax and does not pay corporate income tax. The parent company (MPC Container Ships ASA) is under ordinary taxation rules in Norway, and other holding companies within the Group are domiciled in Germany and the Netherlands. For 2025, the ordinary rate of corporation tax in Norway is 22% (2024:22%), in the Netherlands 25.8 % (2024: 25.8%) and in Germany 15 % (2024: 15 %). Holding companies in Germany may also be subject to 15 % trade tax and 5.5 % Solidarity Surcharge depending on the municipality of the Holding Company.

The parent company and other holding companies within the group may have individual tax losses each year, which generate carry forward losses for the individual companies. Deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that the future utilization within the Group can be justified as at December 31, 2025. Consequently, a tax position of USD 59.1 million (2024:USD 63.0 million) relating to carry forward losses has not been recognized in the statement of financial position. The carry forward losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

The Group is not subject to income tax on dividends paid to the shareholders of the Company. Norwegian law require that the Company withhold taxes on dividends, for foreign shareholders. As at December 31, 2025, the Group had taxes withheld of USD 2.0 million as other liabilities, compared to USD 4.0 million as at December 31, 2024.

The Group has assessed the revenue threshold for both 2024 and 2025 and concluded that the OECD Pillar Two model rule would not be applicable for the Group’s consolidated financial statement.

Note 4 Working Capital

4.1 Trade and Other Current Assets

Accounting policy

Trade and other current assets

Trade receivables and other short-term receivables are measured at transaction price upon initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost less expected credit losses. The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for lifetime expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9. Credit loss allowance is recognized based on both historical and forward-looking credit loss assessment. Trade receivables relate to receivables against the charterers for the Group’s time charter contracts while emission allowances are receivable against charterers for the greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted during the voyage. Insurance claims are the Group’s claims covered by insurance agreements where the virtually certain threshold is met.

in USD thousands	December 31, 2025)	December 31, 2024 (unaudited)
Trade receivables	3,002	7,893
Claims related to insurance cases	31,626	17,141
Other receivables and prepayments	6,877	7,081
Emission allowances	17,893	5,620
Total Trade and other current assets	59,398	37,735

The Group had outstanding receivables per December 31, 2025 amounting to USD 3.0 million (2024: USD 7.9 million). Historically, the Group have not had any credit losses of significance. A significant part of the outstanding receivables is against larger liner companies, which the Group have had a long business relationship with, which reduces the risk further. The invoiced amount is considered to be approximately equal to the value which would be derived under the amortized cost method. In 2025, the Group recognized USD 0.5 million as impairment losses, as compared to USD 0.1 million in 2024.

4.2 Deferred Revenues and Other Liabilities

Accounting policy

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The expense relating to any provision is recognized through profit and loss net of any reimbursement.

Deferred revenue constitutes mainly contract liabilities which represent advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized.

The following table shows the components of other liabilities as at period end.

Total Other liabilities	31,952	27,726
Deferred revenues	42,380	35,230
Other non-current liabilities	2,711	-

In July 2025, The Group entered into agreement to sell its wholly owned vessel AS Felicia for USD 12.3 million, to an unrelated party. As at December 31, 2025, the sale was postponed until further notice due to ongoing dispute with custom authorities. The dispute relates to claims raised by the customs authorities amounting to USD 5.6 million. Based on legal advice obtained, management considers that the most likely outcome of the matter is a settlement at approximately 50% of the original claim. Accordingly, the Group has recognized a provision of USD 2.7 million as at December 31, 2025, representing management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.

The timing of the resolution remains uncertain, and the matter is expected to be settled after one year. The final outcome may differ from the amount provided.

From January 1, 2024 and onwards, the Group is subject to the EU ETS, a cap-and-trade system to reduce emissions via a carbon market. Implementation of EU ETS requires the Group to purchase EU allowances (EUAs) representing the right to emit a specific amount of greenhouse gases. Effective from January 1, 2025, FuelEU Maritime, forces ships over 5,000 GT to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of energy used, starting with a 2% reduction in 2025 and reaching 80% by 2050. As part of the regulation, the Group may incur penalties or compliance costs where the required greenhouse gas intensity targets are not met. Liabilities related to complying with EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, including any penalties, are included in Emission allowance above, while the associated expenses are recognized within vessel voyage expenses.

Note 5 Tangible Assets

5.1 Vessels and Newbuildings

Accounting policy

Vessels and other property, plant and equipment

Vessels and other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less subsequent depreciation and impairment. For vessels purchased, these costs include capitalizable expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the vessels. Upon acquisition, each component of the vessels, with a cost significant to the total acquisition costs, such as dry-docking component, existing charter contract, is separately identified and depreciated over that component’s useful life on a straight-line basis.

The scrubber installations are recognized in the carrying amount of the vessels and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the vessels.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets, taking residual values into consideration, and adjusted for impairment charges, if any. Impairment considerations are described in detail in the accounting policy disclosed in Note 5.2.

Ordinary repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the income statement as incurred. Costs related to dry-docking or other major overhauls are recognized in the carrying amount of the vessels. The recognition is made when the dry-docking has been performed and is depreciated based on estimated time to the next class renewal, i.e. 5 years. The remaining costs that do not meet the recognition criteria are expensed as repairs and maintenance.

Vessels held for sale

Vessels are classified as “Vessels held for sale” when all of the following criteria are met: management has committed to a plan to sell the vessel; the vessel is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of vessels; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the vessel have been initiated; the sale of the vessel is probable and transfer of the vessel is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These vessels are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale.

Newbuildings

Instalments on newbuilding contracts are capitalized as “Newbuildings” when they are incurred. Upon delivery, newbuildings are reclassified to vessels and are subject to depreciation. The acquisition cost includes direct investments, cost incurred during the construction period and borrowing cost. Borrowing costs are capitalized during the construction period and based on accumulated expenditure for the applicable project at the Group’s current weighted average rate of borrowing.

Judgement and estimates

+ Vessels useful lives: Management estimates the average useful life of our vessels to be 25 years. The actual life of a vessel may be different, and the useful lives of the vessels are reviewed at fiscal year-end. New regulations, market deterioration or other future events could reduce the economic lives assigned to our vessels and result in higher depreciation expense and impairment losses in future periods (climate related risks further disclosed in Note 5.2). Any change in the estimated useful lives and/or residual values impact the deprecation of our vessels prospectively.

As at December 31, 2025, Management did not identify any indicators or circumstances which resulted in requiring changes to our vessel useful lives.

5.2 Depreciation, Amortization and Impairment

Accounting policy

Impairment of vessels

Indicators of impairment of vessels and other property, plant and equipment are assessed at each reporting date. The same applies when events or changes in circumstances that may entail that the vessels’ carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such indicators may include depressed charter rates and lower second-hand vessel values. If impairment indicators are identified, the recoverable amount is estimated; and If the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized; i.e. the asset is written down to the higher of the fair value less cost of sale and its value -in-use. Assets are grouped at the lowest level where there are separately identifiable independent cash flows, in which we have determined that each vessel is considered to be a separate cash-generating unit. The fair value less cost of disposal is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction less the costs of sale and the value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected from the continued use of an asset.

The following assumptions have been made when calculating the value in use for container vessels:

+ Future cash flows are based on an assessment of expected development in charter rates and estimated level of administrative and operating expenses (including maintenance and repair) and dry-docking over the remaining useful life of the vessel plus any residual value.

+ The net present value of future estimated cash flows of each cash-generating unit is based on a discount rate according to a pre-tax weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is calculated based on the expected long-term borrowing rate and risk-free USD SOFR rate plus an equity risk premium.

An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized.

Judgement and estimates

+ The carrying amounts of our vessels are reviewed for potential impairment charges whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular vessel may not accurately reflect the recoverable amount. Management continuously monitors both external and internal factors to determine if there are indicators that the vessels may be impaired or, in case of previously recognized impairment, that there are indicators that this may be reversed. The factors evaluated in the assessment include both external and internal sources of information. External sources include a significant decline in market value that is not the result of the passage of time, normal use of the assets, depressed charter rates or increase in market interest rates. Internal sources of information include, among others, evidence of obsolescence of, or physical damage to the vessels.

+ As we obtain information from various industry and other sources, our estimates of charter-free market value of our vessels are inherently uncertain. In addition, vessel values are highly volatile; as such, our estimates may not be indicative of the current or future charter-free market value of our vessels or prices that we could achieve if we were to sell them.

Climate risk

+ Management continuously monitors climate related risks when assessing indicators of impairment. Future climate change measures may affect the shipping industry regarding fuel regulation, port fees and the recycling values of the vessels. Potential future fuel taxes or carbon emission regulation such as EU’s emission trading system (EU ETS) or development of new more climate friendly fuel may increase the future operating expenses or capex of the Group that may be only partly offset by higher time charter rates. Technological developments enabling more climate friendly container vessels may affect the ability to obtain new charters in the future, the potential useful life of the vessels and the recycle values of the vessels. These effects may result in indicators of impairment or impairment losses of our vessels due to lower recycling value from mandatory EU approved yards, or generating less cash-flow from not reaching regulatory targets.

Impairment testing and calculation of recoverable amount

The Group performed an indicator assessment as at December 31, 2025, and an external indicator was identified as the Group’s year-end price-to-book ratio was below 1. Accordingly, an impairment test was performed for each vessel (CGU) by comparing carrying amounts to recoverable amounts (the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use). No impairment was charged for 2025 as well as 2024.

Note 6 Group Structure

6.1 Investments in Joint Venture and Associate

Accounting policy

Joint ventures are those entities whereby the Group has joint control and rights to the net assets. Associates are those entities where the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control (usually between twenty and fifty percent of the voting power). The Group’s investments in associate and joint venture are accounted for using equity method. The investments in an associate or a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and thereafter adjusted for Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses, movements in other comprehensive income or dividends received.

Note 7

Capital Structure and Financial Instruments

7.1 Financial Risk Management

This section provides additional information about the Group’s policies that are considered most relevant in understanding the operations and management of the Group, in particular objectives and policies of how the Group manages its financial risks, liquidity positions and capital structure.

The Group owns and operates vessels for worldwide transportation of containerized cargo. Through its operation, the Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and other risks that may negatively influence the value of assets, liability and future cash flows.

Market risk

Market risk from financial instruments is the risk that future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprise four types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and price risk.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates, i.e. interest payable on the bond issued and the non-recourse senior secured term loan depends on the short-term SOFR. An increase of the short-term SOFR rate by 100 basis points would cause the Group’s annualized interest expenses to increase by USD 2.1 million on a net debt basis (total interest-bearing net minus cash and cash equivalents including restricted cash).

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The functional currency of most of the entities in the Group is USD, and the Group has only minor currency risk from its operations since all income and all major vessel costs are in USD. However,
the Group has exposure to EUR and NOK as parts of administration and vessel operating expenses and a portion of cash and cash equivalents, other short-term assets, trade payables and provisions and accruals are denominated in EUR and NOK. Currently, currency derivatives have been entered into to mitigate this risk, see further in Note 7.2.

The Group is subject to price risk related to the charter market for feeder container vessel which is uncertain and volatile and will depend upon, among other things, the global and regional macroeconomic developments. In addition, the future financial position of the Group depends on valuations of the vessels owned by the Group. Currently, no financial instruments have been entered into to reduce this shipping market risk. The Group will normally have limited exposure to risks associated with bunker price fluctuations as the bunkers are for the charterers account when the vessels are on time charter contracts.

Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments. The maximum credit risk exposure is related to the Group’s trade receivables of USD 3.0 million as at December 31, 2025 as compared to USD 7.9 million as at December 31, 2024.

It is the aim of the Group to enter into contracts with creditworthy counterparties only. Prior to concluding a charter party, the Group evaluates the credit quality of the customer, assessing its financial position, past experience and other factors. Charter hire is paid in advance, effectively reducing the potential exposure to credit risk. Bank deposits are only deposited with internationally recognized financial institutions.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity and/or undrawn committed credit facilities at all times to meet its obligations. See Board of Directors’ report for further description with respect to liquidity risk. To ensure this, the Group continuously monitors projected cash flows using a liquidity planning tool. This includes furnishing management with weekly cash reporting, monthly liquidity forecasts and furnishing management and the Board of Directors with rolling 12–24 months liquidity forecasts.

7.2 Financial Instruments

Accounting policy

The Group may use certain hedging instruments, such as forward contracts or options, to manage foreign exchange or interest rate risk, for instance. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedge instrument and the hedged item, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship.

The Group makes an assessment at inception and on an ongoing basis according to IFRS 9, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that ultimately could affect profit or loss.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

+ fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (except for foreign currency risk); or

+ cash flow hedges when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable transactions.

Hedges which meet the criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss. Amounts recognized as OCI are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognized as OCI are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.

If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognized in equity are transferred to profit or loss. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, amounts previously recognized in equity remain in equity until the forecast transaction or firm commitment occurs.

Set out below is a comparison by category for carrying amounts and fair values of all of the Group’s financial instruments that are carried in the financial statements. The estimated fair value amounts of the financial instruments have been determined using appropriate market information and valuation techniques.

Fair value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts measured at amortized cost due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The fair value of interest-bearing debt is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. Fair value of interest-bearing debt approximates the carrying amounts as there have been no significant changes in the market rates for similar debt financing between the date of securing the debt financing and the reporting date.

Other current financial assets:

As at December 31, 2025, the Group had other current financial assets of USD 71.6 million, compared to USD 1.1 million as at December 31, 2024. The balance as at December 31, 2025 primarily comprises USD 70.5 million invested in six-month fixed-rate bank deposits (2024: nil) which are classified as other current financial assets. In addition, during 2025 the Company purchased foreign currency options with a total premium of USD 1.1 million and entered into several foreign currency forward contracts. The foreign currency options are measured at fair value and classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as their valuation is based on observable market inputs.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Group uses interest rate swaps, caps and collars as hedges of its exposure to interest rate fluctuations in connection with its debt and bond financing.

As at December 31, 2025 the Group has six interest rate caps, as compared to three interest rate caps as at December 31, 2024.

The table below shows the notional amounts of current and future anticipated interest-bearing debt under existing debt facilities hedged by interest-rate caps as at December 31, 2025:

Instrument	Notional amount	Effective period	Interest cap/ fixed payer	Maturity
Interest-rate cap	USD 45.0-27.0 million	2024-2026	4.0%	December 2026
Interest-rate caps	USD 15.9-2.2 million	2024-2031	4.0%	May/June 2031
Interest-rate cap	USD 52.0-2.0 million	2025-2028	4.0%	August 2028
Interest-rate cap	USD 24.0-6.3 million	2025-2028	4.0%	April 2028
Interest-rate cap	USD 15.3-6.1 million	2025-2027	4.0%	December 2027

The table below shows the notional amounts of current and future anticipated interest-bearing debt under existing debt facilities hedged by interest-rate caps as at December 31, 2024 (unaudited):

INSTRUMENT	NOTIONA AMOUNT	EFFECTIVE PERIOD	INTEREST CAP	MATURITY

Interest-rate cap	USD 45.0-27.0 million	2024–2026	4.0%	December 2026

Interest-rate caps	USD 15.9–2.2 million	2024–2031	4.0%	May/ June 2031

Swaptions	USD 43.7-10.2 million	2024-2036	3.5%	July 2024

The fair value (level 2) of the Group’s interest rate caps is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the agreements as at the reporting date, considering, as applicable, the forward interest rate curves. The estimated amount is the present value of future cash flows. Fair value adjustment of the interest rate cap as at December 31, 2025 is recognized directly to Other reserves (other comprehensive income) in equity and are reclassed to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged expected future cash flows (future interest payments) affect profit or loss.

In June 2025, the Group acquired three interest-rate caps agreements for a total notional amount of USD 91.3 million. The caps rate is a USD SOFR interest of 4%. The caps become gradually effective for future interest periods in 2025 with a declining notional amount matching the notional amounts of the related hedged loans. The interest-rate caps have been designated as hedging instruments of matching notional amounts of interest-bearing debt. The Group recognized USD 0.6 million loss in other comprehensive income in 2025,

In October 2024, the Group entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against in EUR. Hedge accounting has not been applied for these forward contracts as no hedge relationships were designated at inception. Currency derivatives that are not hedging instruments are valued at fair value, and any changes in value are entered in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss as finance income or finance cost. As at December 31, 2024, the fair value of derivative financial instruments relating to the foreign currency forward contracts is a liability of USD 0.1 million.

7.3 Cash and Cash Equivalents and restricted cash

Accounting policy

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks, on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents represent short-term, liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less.

7.4 Interest-Bearing Debt

Accounting policy

All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and have not been designated as at fair value through profit or loss. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Debt issuance costs, including debt arrangement fees, are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the relevant loan. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense. If a loan is repaid early, any unamortized portion of the related debt issuance costs is expensed in the period in which the loan is repaid. The Group as recorded debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.

Under a sale and leaseback transaction, when the transfer of vessels does not qualify as a sale under IFRS 15, the seller lessee does not de-recognize the transferred asset, and it accounts for the cash received as a financial liability.

In December 2024, Dr. Axel Schroeder resigned from his position as a member of the Board of Directors . Simultaneously, Mr. Petros Panagiotidis was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. The change of the Board of Directors comes as a result of MPC Münchmeyer Petersen & Co. GmbH, an indirect shareholder of the Company, selling 74.09% of its stake in MPC Capital AG to Thalvora Holdings GmbH.

In April, 2025, the Company’s general meeting resolved that each member of the Board of Directors shall receive USD 50,000 (USD 90,0OO for the Chairman of the Board) in remuneration for the financial year 2025. The Board fees resolved for the year are paid out in the subsequent year. The total remuneration to the Board of Directors and executive management in 2025 was USD 2.1 million (2024: USD 2.1 million).

In 2024, the Board of the Company approved the introduction of a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for certain key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The LTIP was structured as an employee option program, providing for either a share-based settlement or, alternatively, a virtual cash-settled mechanism. Under the share-based mechanism, each option would entitle the holder to acquire one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price equal to the par value of the share. The options were designed to vest after four years and become exercisable on 1 July 2028.

Under the share option arrangement, option holders would have been entitled to receive dividend-equivalent distributions for any dividends or other distributions declared from 1 July 2024 onwards, as if the underlying shares had been issued prior to the respective record date. Where options had not yet vested at the distribution date, the corresponding amounts would have been withheld by the Company and paid upon vesting.

As the share-based settlement mechanism was not covered by the existing Remuneration Guideline, its implementation was subject to shareholder approval at the 2025 Annual General Meeting. The fair value of the option plan at December 31, 2024 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, reflecting management’s expectation that the share-based mechanism would be approved. Accordingly, the Group recognized a share-based payment expense of USD 0.3 million in profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Following discussions with proxy advisors and shareholders ahead of the Annual General Meeting, the revised Remuneration Guideline, including the share-based settlement mechanism, was not submitted for approval and therefore did not become effective. Consequently, the equity-settled share option arrangement did not become effective and, in accordance with the terms of the LTIP. Instead, pursuant to the terms of the LTIP, a bonus payment is payable, subject to the conditions of the LTIP, equal to a NOK amount calculated as the number of option shares accrued by the holder multiplied by 20. The cash bonus is payable on the vesting date of July 1, 2028.

Participants in the program are entitled to receive cash compensation of up to USD 2.6 million (of which key employees are entitled up to USD 1.9 million) over the vesting period. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Group recognized an expense of USD 0.9 million in respect of this cash-settled arrangement, of which USD 0.6 million relates to 2025 and USD 0.3 million relates to 2024. The share-based payment expense of USD 0.3 million recognized in 2024 was reversed following the cancellation of the equity-settled program.
