Highlights Q4 2025:
Co-CEO and CFO Moritz Fuhrmann comments:
“MPCC’s performance in Q4 and throughout 2025 reflects disciplined execution and a proactive commercial strategy amid global market volatility. We capitalized on resilient charter markets to increase our backlog to around USD 2 billion and secured more than 97% of 2026 open days, providing strong earnings visibility for the years ahead.
At the same time, we continued to advance our fleet modernization program, balancing divestments with the addition of 16 state-of-the-art newbuildings, while maintaining moderate leverage and financial flexibility. This balanced approach underpins the announcement of our 17th consecutive dividend in March 2026.”
CEO Constantin Baack added:
“Amid heightened market noise and uncertainty, MPCC remains firmly positioned in the resilient small and mid-sized containership segments. We have deliberately prepared the company for uncertain markets by maintaining a flexible and robust balance sheet with strong investment capacity, while modernizing our fleet in close collaboration with key customers. We remain committed to prudent capital allocation and a disciplined approach to capital deployment, while delivering sustained distributions to our shareholders.
With proven execution capabilities and a track record of performance across market cycles, we are confident in our ability to navigate uncertainty and continue delivering long-term shareholder value.”
