Oslo, 9 December 2025: A subsidiary of Klaveness Combination Carriers ASA (“KCC”
or the “Company”) has concluded a 32-months contract of affreightment starting
March 2026 with Alumina do Norte do Brasil (Alunorte), the largest alumina
refinery outside China, for the transportation of caustic soda solution to their
alumina refinery in Brazil.

The contract will employ MV Barcarena, one of the 2001-built CABU vessels. When
market opportunities arise, MV Barcarena will also carry dry cargoes on
northbound voyages, optimizing vessel utilization and reducing ballast time. The
vessel completed in early December the 25-year renewal docking extending its
operating life.
