Recent Company History

Over the last few months, CCEC has steadily expanded its gas-focused fleet and long-term revenue visibility. A March 9 board change confirmed governance continuity and a April 15 joint venture around LNG/C Amore Mio I added a 10-year charter and up to $485.6M in potential revenues, lifting contracted backlog to $2.9B. Q1 2026 results on May 7 highlighted growth investments and shareholder returns. Today’s fleet deliveries and charters raise contracted backlog further to about $3.1B (or $4.6B including options), underscoring rapid commercial build-out.

Key Terms

time charter, dual-fuel, lng carrier, forward-looking statements, +2 more

6 terms

time charter financial

"new time charter employment secured for three LCO2/LPG carriers and two LNG carriers"

A time charter is an agreement where a ship owner rents out their vessel to a customer for a set period, during which the customer has control over the ship’s use and operation. This arrangement matters to investors because it provides a steady income stream for the ship owner and indicates ongoing demand for shipping services, reflecting the health of global trade and transportation markets.

dual-fuel technical

"dual-fuel medium gas carrier Aristogenis on June 4, 2026"

Dual-fuel describes equipment, vehicles, or power systems designed to run on two different types of fuel—typically a conventional fuel (like diesel) and an alternative fuel (like natural gas or hydrogen). For investors, dual-fuel capability matters because it acts like a built-in hedge: it can lower operating costs and regulatory risk by switching to the cheaper or cleaner fuel as conditions change, though it may require higher upfront investment and different maintenance.

lng carrier technical

"the delivery of LNG Carrier ("LNG/C") Archimidis on June 2, 2026"

A LNG carrier is a specialized ship that transports liquefied natural gas (natural gas cooled to a liquid so it takes up far less space) between production sites and buyers. For investors, these vessels are the link between fuel supply and demand — their availability, charter rates, and operational safety influence shipping company revenues, energy prices and how quickly markets can respond to changes in gas demand; think of them as refrigerated trucks for global gas trade.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

section 21e of the securities exchange act of 1934 regulatory

"term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended"

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 creates a legal safe harbor for forward-looking statements — projections, plans, estimates or predictions — made by public companies, provided those statements are identified as forward-looking and accompanied by meaningful cautionary language about risks and uncertainties. For investors, it matters because it helps distinguish promotional predictions from factual disclosures and signals which optimistic forecasts carry legal protection and which risks the company has warned could affect outcomes, like a weather forecast that comes with a disclaimer about changing conditions.

form 20-f regulatory

"see “Risk Factors” in our annual report filed with the SEC on Form 20-F"

Form 20-F is the standardized annual disclosure that non-U.S. companies must file with the U.S. securities regulator when their shares are traded in the U.S.; it contains audited financial statements, a plain-language description of the business, management discussion, governance details and key risk factors. It matters to investors because it provides a consistent, comparable company “report card” and rulebook, helping buyers assess financial health, governance and risks before investing.

(the "Company", "CCEC", "we" or "us") (NASDAQ: CCEC), an international owner of ocean-going vessels, today announced the delivery of LNG Carrier ("LNG/C") Archimidis on June 2, 2026, and dual-fuel medium gas carrier Aristogenis on June 4, 2026, as well as new time charter employment secured for three LCO2/LPG carriers and two LNG carriers.

Fleet Update — LCO2/LPG Fleet

As previously announced, the Company took delivery of its second LCO2/multi-gas carrier, the Amadeus (Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd., 22,000 cbm), on April 30, 2026. The vessel has since commenced a 12-month time charter, effective May 21, 2026. Its sister vessel, the Alkimos (Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd., 22,000 cbm), is expected to be delivered from the shipyard on September 30, 2026, and has been fixed on a seven-month time charter. Both time charters are subject to final vetting clearance.

On June 4, 2026, the Company also took delivery of the dual-fuel medium gas carrier Aristogenis (Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd., 45,000 cbm), which commenced a 12-month time charter upon delivery from the shipyard.

Fleet Update — LNG Carriers

The LNG/C Archimidis, delivered from the shipyard on June 2, 2026, and the LNG/C Agamemnon (HD Hyundai Samho Co., Ltd., 174,000 cbm), expected to be delivered on June 17, 2026, have both secured bridging time charter employment with a major energy company through March 2027.

Upon completion of these charters, both vessels will commence the previously announced long-term charters originally allocated to the LNG/C Athlos and 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.

In aggregate, the five-time charters are expected to generate approximately $87.4 million in gross revenue over their firm periods.

As a result, CCEC's contracted revenue backlog now stands at approximately $3.1 billion, with an average remaining firm charter duration of 6.7 years. Including all charterer extension options, the Company’s backlog would increase to approximately $4.6 billion, with an average duration of 9.8 years.
