Following this delivery the company owned fleet stands at 41 vessels, comprising 27 tankers and 14 dry bulk carriers. The tanker fleet includes five crude tankers, 17 product tankers and five LPG carriers, while the dry bulk fleet comprises two Capesize vessels, nine Kamsarmax vessels, one Ultramax and two Supramax vessels. Fleet composition reflects the company focus on mixed cargo and energy carrier capabilities. This mix of vessel sizes and types supports coverage across key trade routes and cargo requirements.

The aggregate capacity of the owned fleet is 3.25 million (mn) dwt and utilisation is close to 100 per cent, supporting operational momentum in prevailing market conditions. The company expects the reinforced ownership profile to provide flexibility in contract positioning and earnings delivery.

The company recorded the delivery and sale contract details from its Mumbai office on February 24, 2026 and has advised stakeholders through its corporate communications channel.
