MPCC Orders Four Container Ship Newbuildings with Long-Term Charters

Oslo, Norway -- 14 November, 2025 - MPC Container Ships ASA ("MPCC" or the

"Company") has entered into contracts with Jiangsu Hantong Ship Heavy Industry

Co. Ltd. in China for the construction of four 4,500 TEU container vessels,

scheduled for delivery starting first half of 2028. The contract price per

vessel is USD 58m and the agreement includes options for two additional

vessels at the same price. Each vessel will operate under a 10-year time

charter, with extension options, for a leading global liner company. The

vessel design and commercial structure were optimized collaboratively with the

charterer to ensure an optimal fit for their network, operational profile, and

long-term sustainability objectives.

The initial charter period is expected to generate approximately USD 375

million in revenue and around USD 242 million in EBITDA.

The vessels will feature advanced energy-efficient technologies, reducing slot

costs by about 50% compared to similar-sized peers. This investment supports

MPCC's ongoing transition to a younger, more efficient, and environmentally

compliant fleet, reducing exposure to regulatory and environmental risks.

The project will be financed through a balanced mix of equity and debt,

ensuring financial flexibility and maintaining a prudent capital structure.

"Our fleet renewal strategy continues to gain momentum with this latest

initiative," said Constantin Baack, CEO of MPCC. "I would like to thank the

teams on both sides for the constructive dialogue and the trustful cooperation

over the past months, which has been essential in bringing this project to

fruition. With today's announcement, MPCC has secured 10 newbuildings with

attached charters this year, underscoring our ability to deliver

value-accretive deals with top-tier partners and strengthen strategic customer

relationships -- while reinforcing our commitment to long-term shareholder

value."
