The company has a long-standing history in the shipping industry, providing services to a global market.

In its recent filing, Costamare indicated that its liquidity stood at $733.1 million, bolstered by completed financing agreements and a $92 million loan for two vessels expected to be drawn in Q4 2026. CFO Gregory Zikos noted, "We have finalized the previously announced bilateral debt refinancing agreements for a total of $1.3 billion and we expect to finalize an additional financing arrangement of approximately $90 million during Q4. With that, we will have concluded the refinancing program of our existing fleet. The new agreements provide interest cost savings with no debt maturity till 2030."

The company’s fleet employment is also noteworthy, with 100% of its containership fleet fixed for 2026 and 99% for 2027. Contracted revenues have reached approximately $6.0 billion, indicating a strong market position amid tight supply and demand conditions. Zikos commented on the market dynamics, stating, "The number of idle ships remains at low levels of below 1%, indicating a fully employed market. Tight supply and demand economics are the result of both the shortage of prompt ships and robust cargo demand, which show no signs of fading."
