Overall, Dorian LPG's financial performance remains robust, supported by strong LPG demand and favorable market conditions. The company's strategic moves to return value to shareholders while also preparing for future growth indicate a balanced approach to capital allocation.
The LPG shipping market outlook remains positive, with several key factors influencing the industry:
- U.S. propane prices fell below
40% of WTI prices in Q2 2024, averaging39% , down from46% in Q1 2024. This price drop could stimulate demand for U.S. LPG exports. - U.S. LPG exports increased to over 16 million metric tons in Q2 2024, with June alone exceeding 5.5 million metric tons.
- Chinese demand for propane in PDH operations increased from 3.1 million metric tons in Q1 to 4.4 million metric tons in Q2 2024, driven by new PDH plant operations.
- The VLGC orderbook stands at approximately
10.5% of the global fleet (excluding VLACs), indicating controlled fleet growth.
However, challenges persist:
- PDH margins in China remain under pressure, averaging only
$17 per metric ton in Q2 2024. - Middle East LPG exports remain subdued due to OPEC+ production cuts.
- The global VLGC fleet is aging, with an average age of 10.6 years.
Freight rates showed volatility, starting Q2 at
The market outlook suggests continued strength in LPG shipping demand, particularly from the U.S. to Asia, which should benefit well-positioned operators like Dorian LPG. However, potential oversupply from new vessel deliveries and geopolitical factors affecting oil production remain key risks to monitor.

John C. Hadjipateras, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “During the quarter, we paid a dividend to our shareholders based on strong earnings and cash flow generation, and completed a significant strategic objective with a successful equity offering that positions us well for future fleet growth and renewal. Demand for LPG remains strong, as its availability, cost effectiveness, and environmental footprint make it a fuel of choice for many applications. As always, I acknowledge our dedicated seafarers and shoreside staff, whose hard work and dedication make our results possible.”

The above market outlook update is based on information, data and estimates derived from industry sources available as of the date of this release, and there can be no assurances that such trends will continue or that anticipated developments in freight rates, export volumes, the VLGC orderbook or other market indicators will materialize. This information, data and estimates involve a number of assumptions and limitations, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and are subject to change based on various factors. You are cautioned not to give undue weight to such information, data and estimates. We have not independently verified any third-party information, verified that more recent information is not available and undertake no obligation to update this information unless legally obligated.
Seasonality
Liquefied gases are primarily used for industrial and domestic heating, as chemical and refinery feedstock, as transportation fuel and in agriculture. The LPG shipping market historically has been stronger in the spring and summer months in anticipation of increased consumption of propane and butane for heating during the winter months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns in these months tend to disrupt vessel scheduling and the supply of certain commodities. Demand for our vessels therefore may be stronger in our quarters ending June 30 and September 30 and relatively weaker during our quarters ending December 31 and March 31, although 12-month time charter rates tend to smooth out these short-term fluctuations and recent LPG shipping market activity has not yielded the typical seasonal results. The increase in petrochemical industry buying has contributed to less marked seasonality than in the past, but there can no guarantee that this trend will continue. To the extent any of our time charters expire during the typically weaker fiscal quarters ending December 31 and March 31, it may not be possible to re-charter our vessels at similar rates. As a result, we may have to accept lower rates or experience off-hire time for our vessels, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

We define calendar days as the total number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet was owned or operated pursuant to a bareboat charter. Calendar days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that are recorded during that period. |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
We define time chartered-in days as the aggregate number of days in a period during which we time chartered-in vessels from third parties. Time chartered-in days are an indicator of the size of the fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of charter hire expenses that are recorded during that period. |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
We define available days as the sum of calendar days and time chartered-in days (collectively representing our commercially-managed vessels) less aggregate off hire days associated with scheduled maintenance, which include major repairs, drydockings, vessel upgrades or special or intermediate surveys. We use available days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period that our vessels should be capable of generating revenues. |
|
|
|
|
(5) |
We define operating days as available days less the aggregate number of days that the commercially-managed vessels in our fleet are off‑hire for any reason other than scheduled maintenance (e.g., commercial waiting, repositioning following drydocking, etc.). We use operating days to measure the number of days in a period that our operating vessels are on hire (refer to 8 below). |
|
|
|
|
(6) |
We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during that period. An increase in non-scheduled off hire days would reduce our operating days, and, therefore, our fleet utilization. We use fleet utilization to measure our ability to efficiently find suitable employment for our vessels. |

We determine operating days for each vessel based on the underlying vessel employment, including our vessels in the Helios Pool, or the Company Methodology. If we were to calculate operating days for each vessel within the Helios Pool as a variable rate time charter, or the Alternate Methodology, our operating days and fleet utilization would be increased with a corresponding reduction to our TCE rate. Operating data using both methodologies is as follows: |
