Dorian also has signed memorandums of agreement to sell the 2014-built Corsair and two 2015-built VLGCs for aggregate proceeds of approximately $256 million.

Dorian also reports the following estimates for its fleet for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, based on the close of business today and estimates that it has fixed 99% of its calendar days at a rate in excess of $68,000 per day. For the month ending July 31, 2026, the Company estimates that it has fixed 34% of its calendar days at a rate in excess of $100,000 per day.
Dorian’s new building will be a dual-fuel Panamax VLGC, allowing the vessel to pass through the less congested “old” Panama Canal locks. Additionally, she is being built with a shaft generator. The integration of a shaft generator allows the vessel to harness mechanical energy from the main propulsion system, optimizing operational power efficiency and reducing the vessel’s overall emissions.
John C. Hadjipateras, Chairman, President, and CEO said, “We are confident in the growth prospects of the LPG transportation market and believe that our disciplined fleet renewal and expansion strategy, commitment to our people, focus on innovation and efficiency, along with a solid balance sheet will enable us to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”
