# Samudera invests JPY230m in Japan unit

**Shipping group says deal will not materially affect FY 2026 EPS.**

Samudera Shipping Line has increased its investment in its wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, Samudera Japan K.K., by subscribing for 115,000 new ordinary shares for JPY230m, funded from internal resources.

The company said the capital injection is intended to strengthen the subsidiary’s financial position and support the group’s participation in joint venture initiatives in Japan.

Following the subscription, Samudera Japan’s issued and paid-up stated capital rose to JPY116m from JPY1m, whilst its issued shares increased to 116,000 from 1,000, with Samudera’s shareholding remaining at 100%.

Samudera said the subscription is not expected to have a material impact on the group’s net tangible assets or earnings per share for FY2026.

The company said none of its directors or controlling shareholders has an interest in the transaction other than through their shareholdings and or directorships in the company.
