Three years and one month after signing the contract for four new vessels, the last of our N-class vessels, the Star Naga, left the yard at Guangzhou on Thursday.

Captain Veloso and crew are now on their way to pick up their first cargo for G2 Ocean in China. From there, they will sail to South America, reaching Argentina by the end of August.

That means the N-class project is finalised on our part, but it continues for Gearbulk, which will deliver six such vessels to G2 Ocean - further strengthening their offering to customers.

The list of people involved in building the four N-class vessels is long, and in many ways the project has been something the whole organisation has been part of. The core crew, led by John Gabriel Östling and Torleif Frimannslund, has spent most of the past years focused on this one project. Now, our yard office is closing down, and the site manager and secretary are spending the last few days cleaning out the office space.

One chapter closing - but new awaits.

Safe sailing, Star Naga!

Congratulations on the Day of the Seafarer!

Today, we celebrate the people who keep ships moving and trade flowing throughout the world. The ones who take on hardship and risk to make sure the world economy keeps going.

The risks are not only found in day-to-day operations onboard. They are also part of the environment seafarers operate in:

- war, piracy and instability
- increasingly extreme and unpredictable weather driven by climate change
- crime, corruption, and inequality

These are challenges that seafarers navigate as part of their working day — often far from attention, but never far from consequence.

Managing this requires experience, awareness, and the ability to make the right decisions, sometimes in situations with little margin for error.

Our CEO, Matt Duke, has made clear: “Do not accept being pushed outside the limit of safety.”

And just as importantly:

If an operation needs to stop to ensure safety, you have the company’s full backing.

Because no schedule, no pressure, and no cargo is more important than the people doing the work.

Today is also a reminder that seafarers should not carry these risks alone. They depend on clear priorities, strong support, and decisions - both onboard and ashore - that put safety first.

To all seafarers: thank you for the responsibility you carry, and the way you handle it every day.

As we say: Work with safety to come home safely

The ocean gives us many opportunities and brings responsibility. On World Oceans Day, it is important to recognise that responsibility is about long-term ambitions - and also the everyday work of reducing our footprint, preventing incidents, and improving how we operate.

Plastics are one part of this effort. Since 2020, we have worked to cut down on single-use plastics on board and to stop burning plastic waste at sea. This has lowered our use of plastic bottles from 72,798 per year in 2020 to 3,432 per year in 2025. Our next step is to fully switch from plastic bottles to Tetra Pak cartons and keep working to prevent plastic waste from reaching the ocean.

Another part is pollution prevention. We take all spills, even potential ones, seriously and investigate them to keep improving. We continue to reduce risk by following strict procedures, checking equipment, and reporting unsafe conditions and near-misses.

We are also working to better understand how our activities affect ocean life. In 2025, we focused more on biodiversity by studying where our open-hatch fleet transits through sensitive sea areas and whale-rich zones. We also started the first phases of a TNFD-aligned LEAP assessment. This helps us see where our operations might put pressure on marine ecosystems and where we can make the biggest difference.

For the past three months, we’ve had three fantastic interns in our Bergen office. Marie Ringstad, Lea Dybevåg Tveit, and Sondre Aasarmoen from Western Norway University finished their time with us last week after doing great work.

These internships were part of the M.Sc in Management and Innovation course at Western Norway University. Each intern was given a mentor and worked on a specific project:

- Project planning and coordination for software implementation & data governance
- Stock Control onboard
- Supplier Overview & Control systems

To complete their projects, the interns gathered insights from people across our organisation. They depended on their colleagues to share knowledge and experience in conversations.

Though an internship is supposed to be a chance for students to learn, there is no doubt that we have learned and benefited from their curiosity and questions, and from the results of their projects.

Marie, Lea, and Sondre: thank you for being with us, and best of luck in the future!

(Yes, their last day was on Football Shirt Friday - posing in this photo with two of their mentors: Marthe Helland Herdlevær and Maren Lodden)

This spring, our N-class is being delivered - and before the last ones are in the fleet, we are ordering even more ships to go into G2 Ocean's pool!

“The Open Hatch business is the core of our long-term strategy. We are happy to be able to support G2 Ocean in remaining a high-quality, flexible and efficient service provider through this investment,” says our CEO Matt Duke.

14 years ago, our first female cadets started their studies. In 2014, Shawntel de Sagun, Kathleen Damiles, and Honey Mae Lacao-Lugod went on board for their first contract.

They were our pioneers and became role models. They have been followed by many more female cadets and seafarers. Last year, 4.6% of our seafarers were women.

The number has been slowly growing, but it is far from good enough. One of the challenges we meet is showing young women that seafaring is an occupation for them - that it is something they can succeed in and build a life on. As a result, the number of female applicants for our cadetships is far lower than we would wish.

Seafaring is a hard and sometimes dangerous job, and everyone on board must be qualified for their role to ensure the safety of all. Qualification trumps all.

But there is no reason to believe women are less qualified or fit for work in shipping than men. Our challenge is to make sure the best women choose our business - and ideally our company. It seems we may be on the verge of succeeding:

We recently sent acceptance letters to the cadets we will support starting next fall, and we are happy to say that half of them are young women. We are getting there.

Our first female cadets are still with us. Shawntel is currently helping us set up training on Ballast Water Systems while preparing to go back on board. Honey Mae has taken up a temporary position as a purchaser with us to broaden her understanding before returning to sea. And Kathleen just finished her latest contract as Second Officer.

Women do belong in the maritime business.

Today, we published our Annual Report for 2025 - and we hope you will find it interesting! We try to be as transparent as possible, showing both the good and the not-so-good.

Though many think of these as financial reports, we continue to publish a holistic report to illustrate the connection between our capital and human resources and how they create value in the short, medium, and long term, considering the impacts, risks, and opportunities related to our business model.

In 2025, we strengthened our finances and continued investing in safety, renewing our fleet, new business areas, and building long-term resilience.

We made a profit before tax of USD 7.1 million in 2025, after a loss in 2024. Revenue rose to USD 159 million from USD 137 million in 2024, driven by more stable trade patterns, fewer operational disruptions and improved fleet utilisation in the open hatch business.

“The operating environment for shipping has become more complex in recent years,” our CEO Matt Duke says, pointing to geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts and continued instability in key trade routes.

Against this backdrop, our focus has been on what we can influence directly. “For us, this means staying focused on running safe, reliable and efficient operations, supporting our customers and continuing to position the business for the future,” he says.

This week, we are coming down from the high of celebrating the naming of the last three of our four N-class vessels: Star Nordkapp, Star Narvik, and Star Naga.

With over a hundred guests, owners, family, partners, yard, and employees, we celebrated our long-term commitment to our business and the industry on Friday.

The day after, Star Nordkapp followed in the wake of Star Norge in the G2 Ocean pool, sailing out on her maiden voyage from CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Longxue yard in Guangzhou.

“A naming ceremony is always a special moment. It marks not just the completion of a vessel, but the beginning of her life at sea. It is a moment to celebrate, to reflect, and above all to thank those who made her possible,” said GMG CEO Matt Duke at the ceremony.

These 82,300 dwt vessels have energy consumption well below the fleet average. Technology, speed, and capacity combine to make them 40% more energy efficient than our second-most-efficient vessels. They are also ready for retrofitting for green ammonia or methanol - or for carbon capture.
