CEO'S COMMENTS ON THE PERIOD YEAR TO DATE
We entered 2026 with a clear strategic focus; to prioritise segments offering the most attractive risk-adjusted returns and actively rotate the portfolio as market conditions evolve. The first quarter was characterised by continued geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the conflict in the Middle East, combined with ongoing trade tensions, contributing to significant divergence in performance across shipping segments.
Tanker markets performed particularly strongly, supported by heightened geopolitical risk, tighter sanctions enforcement and continued dislocation in shadow fleet operations, all of which contributed to tighter effective vessel supply and firmer freight rates across several tanker segments. Dry bulk markets firmed during the quarter, with higher asset values reflecting improved market expectations, albeit accompanied by considerable volatility in the Capesize segment. The container shipping segment continued to benefit from elevated earnings levels as ongoing Red Sea disruptions and vessel rerouting via the Cape of Good Hope increased ton-mile demand and absorbed available capacity. The offshore sector saw increased activity, particularly towards the end of the quarter, driven by oil companies accelerating exploration and production programmes in the Atlantic basin.
Investments and divestments
During Q1, we executed targeted additions to our dry bulk and offshore exposure, investing in a Capesize dry bulk project consistent with our view that larger bulk carriers offer attractive value at current levels. We also added to our tanker portfolio through a new position and made a further add-on investment in the MPP segment.
On the divestment side, we concluded the sale of two container positions as well as two tanker holdings. While container earnings remained strong, we took the opportunity to lock in gains at attractive valuations and redeploy capital into segments offering a more favourable forward risk/reward profile.
As of March 31, 2026, BlueYield's NAV stands at approximately USD 29 million. The largest holdings in the portfolio consist of investments in the MPP, PSV, and dry bulk segments which together represent approximately 68% of the portfolio value.
