REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Your Company's fleet as on 31^st March, 2026 stands 12 vessels (with a total capacity of 2,79,962 MT GRT and 3,62,413
MT DWT) comprising 10 container vessels (22,046 TEUs) and 2 dry bulk vessels (69,402 MT DWT), being India's one
of the largest container tonnage owning Company. The current container ship tonnages are rightly sized and priced
to suit the coastal trade. A detailed fleet profile forms part of this Annual Report.

The shipping market in FY 2025-26 continued to experience volatility, though with some signs of stabilization
compared to the pronounced disruptions of the previous year. The imbalance between supply and demand persisted,
albeit at a moderated pace, as the after-effects of fleet overexpansion in 2023 continued to ripple through the market.
The Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) surged over 150% YoY, fueled by early shipments ahead of U.S.
tariffs on China. Global container volumes rose 5.1% to 210M TEU, with Asia-North America and Asia-Europe routes
up 15.2% and 6.8%, respectively. Suez Canal disruptions forced rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope, tightening
effective capacity. By October 2024, Asia-Europe fleet deployment jumped 27% to 7.4M TEU, constraining overall
fleet growth. Dry Bulk fleet is expected to grow 5.2% between end 2024 and end 2026.

As reported last year, our vessel M.V. SSL Brahmaputra had experienced an Engine Room fire on 1^st January 2024 at
the Gujarat coast to Jebel Ali-Sohar, UAE. All crew members were safe, with no pollution reported. The vessel was
taken out of operation for repairs. The incident was promptly reported to insurers. Repairs were completed at Jebel
Ali by 9^th April 2024, after which the vessel was returned to the Charterers. There has been six cargo claims brought
on vessel M.V. SSL Brahmaputra. These matters are currently pending before the relevant courts. The Company does
not expect any liability to arise from these potential cargo claims, as it is adequately insured against such risks. The
details are included in this Report and Financial Statements.

planet. While full decarbonization infrastructure evolves, we maximize every efficiency opportunity today through
voyage optimization, improvement in fleet performance, and smart operational practices.

In alignment with our commitment to sustainable maritime operations and IMO's decarbonization roadmap, we
prioritize energy efficiency across our fleet. Key steps include fuel efficient hull coatings, propeller modifications,
ESD and voyage optimization, yielding a reduction in fuel consumption YoY

Conservation of Energy

Energy conservation is embedded in our core operations via approved Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans
(SEEMP Part III) for CII monitoring and improvement across all vessels. Key measures include LED lighting retrofits,
energy-efficient appliances, energy saving retrofits, advanced anti-fouling hull coatings, monitoring of hull condition,
weather routing, real-time digital platforms tracking fuel use, generator optimization, and predictive maintenance.

Energy Transition Initiatives

All vessels run on VLSO. We are exploring use of blended biofuels on our vessels. We collaborate with maritime
partners on alternative fuels, maintaining IMO DCS compliance (Regulation 22A) with RO-verified annual reporting
of fuel, distance, and hours.

IMO Data Collection System (IMO DCS) Compliance

performance in real time.

Operational measures implemented include:

• Weather routing

• Hull cleaning

• Trim and ballast optimization

• Cargo planning

• Engine Power Limitation (EPL)

Through SEEMP Part III vessel-specific CII reduction plans and continued use of VLSO, the Company proactively

identifies underperforming vessels and implements corrective actions to maintain favourable CII ratings. Full fleet¬

outcomes help identify vulnerable users, departments with higher risk exposure, and common attack vectors.

evaluate their effectiveness against globally recognized information security benchmarks. The audit identified
critical gaps, control weaknesses, and improvement opportunities, providing a clear roadmap for remediation.
This initiative ensures alignment with industry best practices, enhances governance, and strengthens the
organization's compliance posture.

• POC of Vessel cyber security software for visibility of security posture on the vessels. A Proof of Concept
(POC) has been initiated for specialized maritime cybersecurity software aimed at enhancing visibility and control
over onboard vessel systems. This solution is designed to provide real-time monitoring of the vessel's IT and
OT environments, identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential cyber threats across navigation,
communication, and operational systems. The POC evaluates the tool's capability to deliver centralized risk
insights, anomaly detection, and actionable intelligence tailored for maritime operations. The objective is to
assess feasibility, integration capabilities, and effectiveness in improving cyber risk management for vessels,
ultimately supporting safer and more secure maritime operations.
