Godby Shipping says its Stream Roro 1700 newbuilding programme remains on schedule. Basic design work by Technolog Services is due for completion in October 2026, followed by production drawings in China. The two vessels will feature CFD-optimised hulls, twisted leading-edge rudders and rudder bulbs, delivering an estimated 2% fuel savings. Steel cutting is scheduled for June and November 2027, with deliveries in September 2028 and January 2029. The ships have been ordered without secured employment, although chartering discussions are ongoing.
Godby also reports several charter developments. BALTIC BRIGHT has secured a 1+1-year extension with Holmen, while MIMER is on charter to LDS following short-term work for CMA CGM. AURORA has returned to service with Priority (Marinex) in the Caribbean, and the company says its core fleet remains largely covered through 2026 and beyond.
For the 2025/26 financial year, Trailer-Link reported revenue of EUR 23.9 million, slightly below the budgeted EUR 24.1 million, mainly due to docking-related off-hire for MIMER and MISTRAL. Operating cash flow reached EUR 3.5 million, below the budgeted EUR 5.0 million, although the sale of MISANA strengthened cash reserves and equity, supporting the Stream Roro 1700 investment. For 2026/27, Godby forecasts revenue of EUR 26.9 million and operating cash flow of EUR 2.8 million.
