Sale price described by CEO Kristian Sørensen In the low US$80 million BW Loyalty sale

Delivery deadline No later than December 2026 After completion of the current time charter
gain on disposal financial
"gain on disposal of approximately US$52 million"
Net cash proceeds financial
"Net cash proceeds are expected to be approximately US$66 million"
The actual cash a company receives from a financing or sale after subtracting direct transaction costs such as bank and legal fees, commissions, taxes and other closing expenses. Think of it like selling a house and keeping what’s left after paying the realtor and closing costs — it’s the money that truly lands in the company’s account. Investors watch net cash proceeds because they determine how much cash is available for growth, paying down debt, dividends or share buybacks and therefore affect financial strength and valuation.
time charter technical
"completion of her current time charter"
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.
LPG dual-fuel propulsion technology technical
"20 vessels powered by LPG dual-fuel propulsion technology"
A system that lets an internal combustion engine run on a mix of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and a conventional fuel (usually diesel or gasoline), either by switching between fuels or burning them together. Think of it as a two-fuel setup like a hybrid stove that can use gas or electricity: it gives operators flexibility on fuel choice, can change operating costs and emissions, and affects maintenance and refueling logistics—factors investors watch for cost, regulatory, and operational impacts.
