Capital Clean Energy Carriers has taken delivery of its latest vessel, Agamemnon, a liquefied natural gas carrier built by HD Hyundai Samho.
The Greece-based shipowner reported that the 174,000-cubic-metre vessel immediately commenced a time charter with an unnamed energy company on June 17.
Running through March 2027, this initial charter will be followed by another long-term agreement at the option of the company.
According to CCEC, the vessel will then begin either a five-year charter originally assigned to Athlos or a seven-year charter allocated to Archon, both of which include an additional five-year option.
To fund the acquisition, CCEC used cash on hand alongside a new senior secured bridge loan facility of $216 million. The company reported that this bridge loan is scheduled to be refinanced in July 2026 through the drawdown of an eight-year JOLCO facility of the same amount.
The new addition represents the 14th liquefied natural gas carrier delivered to CCEC. The firm stated that its under-construction fleet contains seven additional vessels, which are scheduled for delivery between the third quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2029.
