The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those presented in the 2023 audited consolidated financial statements.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Vessels under construction - pre-delivery installments

The initial pre-delivery installments made for vessels are recorded in the statement of financial position as “Advances for vessels under construction” under Non-current assets. Vessels under construction are presented at cost less identified impairment losses, if any. Costs relating to vessels under construction include pre-delivery installments to the shipyard and other vessel costs incurred during the construction period that are directly attributable to construction of the vessels, including borrowing costs, if any, incurred during the construction period.

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company has adopted the amendments to IAS 1 and these amendments have no impact on the presentation of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
