Impairment
Marine
Based on the impairment indicator analysis con-ducted for the period ending June 30, 2026, the Group has
not identified any impairment triggers within its Marine division that require further impairment testing.
Both internal and external impairment indicators, including asset performance, market valuations, and
macroeconomic conditions, have been thoroughly assessed. The review is supported by independent
broker valuations which indicate that the fair market value of the fleet exceeds its carrying value. The
same analysis was conducted for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Accordingly, as of the reporting date, no further impairment adjustments are required for the Group’s
assets within the Marine division. The Management Board, under supervision of the Supervisory Board,
will continue to evaluate potential impairment risks on an ongoing basis, ensuring timely responses to any
significant changes in market conditions or operational performance.
Security
All vessels financed with bank loans are subject to a mortgage to secure bank loans (see Note 16).
Capital commitment
As at June 30, 2026 the Group's total capital commitment amounts to $0.9 billion (December 31, 2025: 
$1.6 billion). These capital commitments can be detailed as follows:
