Samudera subsidiary boosts fleet with two new container ships

The company does not expect the purchases to affect 2026 earnings or net assets.

Samudera Shipping Line announced that its Japanese subsidiary, Blue Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. (BOS), has acquired two container ships, MV Sagami and MV Hyogo.

The vessels were delivered on 17 March and will become part of BOS’s initial operating fleet.

BOS was established in Japan in December 2025 with the goal of acquiring and operating a fleet of container ships.

Samudera Shipping Line said the acquisitions are not expected to have a significant impact on its earnings per share or net tangible assets for the year ending 31 December 2026.

The company added that none of its directors or major shareholders has any direct or indirect interest in the purchase beyond their existing stakes in Samudera.
