Oslo, Norway, 26 August 2026 - MPC Container Ships ("MPCC" or the "Company", Oslo Børs Ticker: MPCC), today announced its results for the second quarter of 2026, reporting another quarter of consistent operational performance underpinned by a substantial contracted charter backlog and continued progress on its fleet renewal program.
Highlights Q2 2026:
CEO Constantin Baack comments:
"The second quarter was another quarter of consistent performance and a reminder of the value of contracted visibility in a market that remains volatile and hard to predict. In our segment the market stayed firm, with tight supply of modern tonnage and resilient demand from intra-regional trade and continued supply chain disruptions. Our fleet renewal strategy is delivering results, and our long-term charter coverage provides as a natural hedge that secures earnings independent of market swings. With a contracted revenue backlog of USD 2.2 billion and coverage extending well into 2028 and beyond, visibility has become one of our most valuable assets."
Co-CEO and CFO Moritz Fuhrmann added:
"We continued to advance our fleet renewal on a sound financial footing. We secured a new USD 375 million senior secured term loan to finance ten of the newbuildings ordered last year, and shortly after quarter-end completed an oversubscribed USD 107 million private placement that restored balance-sheet flexibility and brought in a number of new investors. Our balance sheet remains conservative, with moderate leverage and a significant portion of the fleet debt-free, positioning us to pursue further value-accretive opportunities for our shareholders."
The results will be presented in an earnings call at 08:00 CEST on 26 August 2026, followed by a Q&A session. The earnings call can be accessed through the following link: MPC Container Ships Audiocast Q2 2026.
