Oslo, 2 February 2022 - MPC Container Ships ASA ("MPCC" or the "Company", and

together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is pleased to announce that its

board of directors has resolved to distribute a dividend of NOK 3.00 per share,

in total NOK 1.33 billion, based on the Company's approved annual account for

Company's extraordinary general meeting on 28 January 2022. An announcement of

key information relating to the dividend payment will be published separately.

Constantin Baack, Chief Executive Officer of MPC Container Ships commented:

"Over the past quarters we have continued to execute on our chartering strategy

and portfolio measures in terms of vessel sales and purchases, whilst constantly

optimizing the Group's balance sheet. In tandem, these measures have paved the

way for the implementation of the Company's distribution plan.

Today marks another important milestone for MPC Container Ships as we announce

the first event-driven distribution to our shareholders of NOK 3 per share or

around USD 150 million in total. As previously communicated, the Company will be

prioritizing returning capital to investors and it is further planned to also

commence with recurring quarterly dividends in March 2022.

In a continuously strong container charter market with increasing forward

fixtures, charter periods and historically strong charter rates we will continue

to adhere to the principles of transparent, active and rational capital

allocation, as demonstrated since the inception of the Company."
