04 Mar 2026 CW Team

After this addition, the company's owned fleet stands at 41 vessels, comprising 27 tankers and 14 dry bulk carriers, aggregating 3.25 mn dwt. The tanker fleet includes five crude tankers, 17 product tankers and five LPG carriers while the dry bulk fleet comprises two Capesize, nine Kamsarmax, one Ultramax and two Supramax vessels. The company said current capacity utilisation is close to 100 per cent. High utilisation reflects firm demand in key trade lanes and effective deployment of owned tonnage.

The company has also contracted to sell one very large gas carrier Jag Vishnu and expects the sale to be completed in Q4 FY26. Management indicated that the disposal will adjust the fleet mix and support capital allocation for further opportunities. The company continues to finance acquisitions through internal resources and prudent balance sheet management. Proceeds from the disposal are expected to be deployed in line with the company's capital allocation policy.

The delivery of Jag Pranesh aligns with stated objectives to maintain a modern fleet and improve operating efficiency while preserving financial flexibility. The transaction is expected to support service continuity to customers across tanker and gas segments as operational deployment is adjusted. GE Shipping will continue to monitor market conditions and execute fleet decisions consistent with shareholder value. Board and management will continue to assess opportunities including acquisitions, disposals and long-term charters as market conditions evolve.
