What Happened Dorian LPG Ltd. announced on September 2, 2026 that it entered a new seven‑year credit facility of $368.4 million (the "2026 Credit Facility") to refinance existing indebtedness, and filed a press release on September 4, 2026 announcing a VLGC newbuilding contract. The new facility replaces the company's 2023 amended and restated debt facility, Cougar and Cresques Japanese financings, and the Commander tranche of the BALCAP Facility. The lending syndicate is led by Nordea Bank Abp New York Branch (agent, coordinator and security agent), with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) and other banks including Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas, Danish Ship Finance, DNB Carnegie, ING and OCBC participating.
