Navigator Holdings Ltd. (described herein as "Navigator" or the "Company") (NYSE:NVGS), the owner and operator of the world's largest fleet of handysize liquefied gas carriers, is pleased to announce that on July 14, 2025, it has entered into a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") with Amon Maritime ("Amon Maritime").
Pursuant to the Joint Venture, Navigator will acquire approximately 80% of the joint venture company, Navigator Amon Shipping AS, of Norway, with Amon Maritime holding approximately 20%, subject to the investment terms and conditions. The Joint Venture intends to construct two new 51,530 cubic meter capacity ammonia fuelled liquefied ammonia carriers (the "Vessels"), which will also be capable of carrying liquefied petroleum gas.
The Joint Venture has entered into contracts with Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering Co., Ltd. to build the Vessels, with deliveries scheduled to take place in June and October 2028 respectively, at an average price of $84 million per vessel. Importantly, each of the vessel projects were awarded a NOK 90 million (approx. $9 million) investment grant from the Norwegian government agency Enova. It is expected that the Joint Venture will finance the majority of the purchase price of the Vessels through commercial bank finance, with the remainder sourced from capital contributions from Navigator and Amon Maritime. Navigator expects to finance its share of the capital contributions from available cash resources, and these investments are expected to be accretive to the Company's earnings.
