Ernst Russ AG Advances Strategy by Reducing Non-Strategic Interests

On October 29, 2025, Ernst Russ AG announced a strategic move to acquire shares from Joint Venture partners in six feeder container vessels. This step aims to streamline the group's structure and eliminate non-strategic minority interests. The vessels involved are: MV FAITH, MV IDO, MV MIRROR, MV TROUPER, MV VISITOR, and MV ESL WINNER. The acquisition will be partially funded by existing liquidity, with the remainder through a seller’s credit structure.

This initiative is part of the Ernst Russ Group's broader transformation program, designed to enhance transparency and capital market positioning. The company strives to simplify its portfolio while maintaining a disciplined approach towards asset acquisitions and disposals, aligning with its long-term strategy to solidify its status as a significant player in Germany's shipping market. Details on the Group's progress and future strategies will be included in their upcoming report on November 11, 2025.
