- In December 2024, we added two 9,200 TEU newbuilding containerships to our orderbook, which have expected deliveries in 2027. We took delivery of 6 newbuilding containerships in 2024 and 1 in January 2025.
- In February 2025, we entered into a syndicated loan facility agreement for an amount of up to
, to finance all of our remaining newbuilding container vessels, including the two additional recent orders, with deliveries from 2026 through 2028.$850 million - Our remaining orderbook currently consists of a further 15 newbuilding containership vessels with an aggregate capacity of 128,220 TEU with expected deliveries of one vessel in 2025, three vessels in 2026, nine vessels in 2027 and two vessels in 2028. All the vessels in our orderbook are designed with the latest eco characteristics, will be methanol fuel ready, fitted with open loop scrubbers and Alternative Maritime Power (AMP) units and will be built in accordance with the latest requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in relation to Tier III emission standards and Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) Phase III.
- We have secured multi-year charter arrangements for 13 of the remaining 15 newbuilding vessels orderbook, with an average charter duration of approximately 5.1 years weighted by aggregate contracted charter hire.
- Over the past three months, we added approximately
to our contracted revenue backlog through a combination of new charters and charter extensions for 11 of our container vessels and container vessels newbuildings.$336 million - As a result, total contracted cash operating revenues, on the basis of concluded charter contracts through the date of this release, currently stand at
, including newbuildings. The remaining average contracted charter duration for our containership fleet is 3.7 years, weighted by aggregate contracted charter hire.$3.4 billion - Contracted operating days charter coverage for our container vessel fleet is currently
97% for 2025 and79% for 2026. This includes newbuildings based on their scheduled delivery dates. - We took delivery of all of our contracted capesize drybulk carriers by taking delivery of two vessels in the second quarter of 2024 and one vessel in July 2024. As a result, our capesize drybulk fleet currently stands at 10 vessels with an aggregate capacity of approximately 1.8 million DWT.
- As of the date of this release, Danaos has repurchased a total of 2,458,024 shares of its common stock in the open market for
under its$168.8 million authorized share repurchase program that was originally introduced in June 2022 and was upsized in November 2023.$200 million - Danaos has declared a dividend of
per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of 2024. The dividend is payable on March 5, 2025, to stockholders of record as of February 24, 2025.$0.85
Danaos' CEO Dr. John Coustas commented:
"The world is entering uncharted territory and any near-term predictions about the direction of shipping markets are inherently unreliable. The tariff war is bound to generate disruptions, which have historically benefited shipping. However, an economic slowdown might negate these benefits.
The dry bulk market continues to suffer from ongoing malaise due to the pace of the recovery of the Chinese economy, which has not shown signs of accelerating. The delivery of new tonnage starting this year will add to this weakness, particularly in the panamax and smaller segments, where the orderbook is concentrated. The capesize segment, where our fleet is concentrated, continues to have an orderbook that remains at historically low levels.
The container charter market remains healthy, albeit liners are exhibiting more caution, particularly with respect to more forward dates. While box rates are weakening, they are still much higher than pre-pandemic levels. We will have to wait until after Chinese New Year to gauge the effect of the front-loading of exports that occurred in anticipation of tariffs and the demand pattern in the new trade environment.
Danaos is highly insulated from near-term market uncertainty, with
Our profitability remains consistent, and we are using our strong balance sheet to increase dividends, continue our share buyback program, and source opportunities to grow our company for the benefit of our shareholders.
Our strategic focus remains on maintaining a robust financial position, securing long-term contracts for vessels coming off charter, and investing in modern, fuel-efficient container vessels to enhance our competitive position in the market. We are committed to delivering value to our shareholders through prudent financial management and strategic growth initiatives."

Time Charter Equivalent US$/per day |
1) | We define Operating Days as the total number of Ownership Days net of Scheduled off-hire days (days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special or intermediate surveys or days) and net of off-hire days associated with unscheduled repairs or days waiting to find employment but including days our vessels were sailing for repositioning. The shipping industry uses Operating Days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues or are sailing for repositioning purposes. Our definition of Operating Days may not be comparable to that used by other companies in the shipping industry. |
2) | Time charter equivalent US$/per day ("TCE rate") represents the average daily TCE rate of our container vessels segment and drybulk vessels segment calculated dividing time charter equivalent revenues of each segment by operating days of each segment. TCE rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare period to period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types i.e., voyage charters, time charters, bareboat charters under which its vessels may be employed between the periods. Our method of computing TCE rate may not necessarily be comparable to TCE rates of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. We include TCE rate, a non- GAAP measure, as it provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with operating revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and it assists our management in making decisions regarding the deployment and use of our operating vessels and assists investors and our management in evaluating our financial performance. |
