ATHENS, Greece, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. (NASDAQ: CCEC), an international owner of ocean-going vessels (the "Company," "CCEC," "we" or "us"), today announced that it has successfully taken delivery of the LNG Carrier ("LNG/C") 'Agamemnon'.
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.
