Danaos Corporation's SEC filings document its foreign-private-issuer reporting, fleet economics, capital structure, and governance as a shipping company focused on container vessels and drybulk vessels.

Danaos Corporation reported solid first‑quarter 2026 results with higher profitability despite flat revenue. Operating revenues were $253.7 million, nearly unchanged from $253.3 million a year earlier, but net income rose to $140.4 million from $115.1 million as costs declined and investment income increased.
Container revenue dipped slightly due to lower charter rates and non‑cash revenue effects, while drybulk revenue jumped 40.9% to $24.1 million on a sharply higher time‑charter equivalent rate of $24,825 per day. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.2% to $180.6 million, and cash from operations grew to $163.1 million.
Danaos continued to reshape its balance sheet, fully repaying $262.8 million of 8.5% senior notes and prepaying $213.8 million under a syndicated facility, leaving $1,046.3 million of debt and $876.2 million of cash as of March 31, 2026.
