BW LPG is pleased to announce that its 52% owned subsidiary BW LPG India has decided to sell its 2007-built vessel BW Cedar as part of a planned fleet renewal. On a 100% basis, the sale is priced at approximately US$65 million and is expected to generate a net book gain of around US$33 million and about US$51 million in net cash after repayment of its existing bank loan. The vessel will be delivered to the new owners in Q1 2025.

In addition, BW LPG has declared a purchase option for BW Kizoku, a 2019 Japan-built VLGC. BW Kizoku is currently on time charter with BW LPG with a purchase option, which BW LPG exercised for a consideration of US$69.8 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered in January 2025 and will continue to trade in the conventional BW LPG fleet.
