( (HK:2409) ) just unveiled an update. Seacon Shipping Group Holdings Limited has announced it will enter into four novation agreements effective 23 December 2025, transferring all rights and obligations of the existing charterer under certain transaction documents to four wholly owned subsidiaries of the charterer: Golden Canola Limited, Golden Olive Limited, Golden Flax Limited and Golden Palm Limited. Following the novation, Seacon’s charter guarantees will continue to apply, but will now cover the obligations of these subsidiaries instead of the original charterer, a move the board describes as standard market practice in shipping using special purpose vehicles. The company emphasised that because the new guaranteed parties are wholly owned subsidiaries of the charterer and no other provisions of the transaction documents are changing, the group’s risk exposure remains materially unchanged and the agreements are on normal commercial terms, with no adverse impact expected for the company or its shareholders.
