On June 18, Capital Clean Energy Carriers (CCEC), a diversified shipowner under Greek shipping magnate Evangelos Marinakis, announced that South Korean shipbuilder HD Hyundai Samho had delivered the 174,000 cubic meter liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier “Agamemnon” to them on June 17.
Following its delivery on June 17, 2026, the LNG/C Agamemnon (HD Hyundai Samho Co., Ltd., 174,000 cbm) has commenced its previously announced time charter with a major energy company through March 2027. Upon completion of that charter, the vessel will, at the Company’s option, commence either the long-term charter originally allocated to LNG/C Athlos or the one allocated to LNG/C Archon, with firm periods of five years and seven years, respectively, each including an additional five-year option at the charterer’s discretion.
The acquisition of LNG/C Agamemnon was funded using cash on hand together with a new senior secured bridge loan facility of $216.0 million. This facility will be refinanced in July 2026 upon the drawdown of an eight-year JOLCO facility in the amount of $216.0 million.
Agamemnon is the 14th latest-generation LNG/C delivered to the Company. CCEC’s under-construction fleet also includes seven additional latest-generation LNG/Cs, scheduled for delivery between the third quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2029.
