The vessels are capable of burning LPG and will have an unrivalled performance with lower consumption, larger cargo intake, reduced bunkering time and will have significantly lower CO2 emissions with an estimated reduction of 39,5% compared to a 2010 Korean built VLGC design at 16 knots.

The vessels are capable of burning LPG and will have an unrivalled performance with lower consumption, larger cargo intake, reduced bunkering time and will have significantly lower CO2 emissions with an estimated reduction of 39,5% compared to a 2010 Korean built VLGC design at 16 knots. Further, the vessels are intended to be prepared for ammonia as fuel as we are positioning ourselves for a zero-carbon fuel solution as soon as the technology is ready and feasible. The investment highlights our commitment towards de-carbonisation of the LPG and shipping industries.

The newbuilding program will be fully funded through the $65 million private placement assuming a normalised financing structure at delivery. Together with robust market fundamentals we expect a strong cash flow and increased ability to return value to shareholders.
