Insights
The Q2 FY2025 results show significant headwinds with net income dropping to
Key positives include record U.S. LPG exports reaching 5.8 MM MT in August and reduced vessel operating expenses to
The seasonal strength typically seen in Q2/Q3 was disrupted by terminal capacity issues and Hurricane Beryl, though rates showed signs of recovery in late September. The market outlook remains supported by winter demand and relatively contained fleet growth.
The LPG shipping market is experiencing a rebalancing phase with complex supply-demand dynamics. Terminal constraints in the U.S. Gulf Coast and weather disruptions have created temporary inefficiencies, leading to higher terminal fees but compressed arbitrage opportunities between U.S. and Asia.
Chinese import patterns and weaker petrochemical margins are concerning, with steam cracking margins in Far East dropping to just
The evolving market structure shows reduced seasonality due to increased petrochemical industry buying, though current vessel oversupply and terminal constraints are pressuring near-term rates. The strategic positioning of dual-fuel vessels in the fleet provides operational flexibility amid evolving environmental regulations.

John C. Hadjipateras, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Rates during the quarter reflect a return to a balanced market as the Panama Canal drought effect has reversed. The fundamentals of the seaborne LPG trade remain strong, as LPG’s availability, cost effectiveness, and environmental footprint make it a fuel of choice for many applications. Our view of the VLGC sector prospects underpinned our dividend declaration this quarter and reflects our commitment to disciplined capital allocation. I am happy to welcome Mark Ross to our Board of Directors. Mark recently retired as President of Chevron Shipping. Mark’s expertise and the values we share will contribute positively to the continuing success of Dorian. As always, I acknowledge our dedicated seafarers and shoreside staff, whose hard work and dedication make our results possible.”

A further 3 new VLGCs were added during Q3 2024, adding some extra capacity to a freight market that has been primarily impacted by the overhang of vessel supply in the
An additional 41 VLGCs equivalent to roughly 3.6 million cbm of carrying capacity are expected to be added to the global fleet by calendar year 2027. The average age of the global fleet is now approximately 10.6 years old. Currently the VLGC orderbook stands at approximately
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.

(2) | 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 excluding off-hire days. 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 both unscheduled and 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. |
|
|
||
Note that we have updated our definition of available days to include unscheduled maintenance as we believe it is more reflective of industry practice and more consistent with the practice used in the Helios Pool, which now accounts for more than |
