Summary
Dorian LPG announced a significant refinancing and fleet expansion. The company entered into a new seven-year, $368.4 million credit facility to consolidate and replace several existing debt facilities. The new facility carries a margin of 140 basis points over SOFR and includes a $213.4 million term loan and a $155.1 million revolving credit facility, with a $200 million accordion feature.
The syndicate is led by Nordea and SEB, with several other banks participating, and includes a sustainability-linked feature. In addition, Dorian LPG ordered three new dual-fuel VLGCs from Hanwha Ocean for delivery in 2030 at a total cost of approximately $345 million. This expands the fleet and reflects a fleet renewal strategy.
The company also provided strong near-term revenue visibility, estimating that 99% of its calendar days for the quarter ending September 30, 2026 are fixed at over $88,000 per day. The refinancing is expected to generate interest and amortization savings, and the newbuilding orders position the company for future growth. The sustainability-linked feature aligns the facility's terms with the company's sustainability performance.
