latest/last shipment
Explanation:
This is ambiguous. It could mean "last" = final or "latest" = most recent. I'd opt for the latter, simply because of I'd hope that the author would have used "voyage final" if they meant "last", in order to avoid ambiguity. On the other hand. Translating it as "last shipment" reproduces the ambiguity in English. So, unless you are able to get clarification, that might be the safest way to translate it.
