In his letter CEO Nicholas Gleeson commented, “BW LPG has achieved excellent operational and financial outcomes in 2014, a year which has shown substantial growth and exceptional charter rates. Our leading VLGC position was enhanced by the acquisition of additional second-hand tonnage in 2013, enabling BW LPG to be the most important maritime contributor to exports of LPG from the United States.” The recent acquisition of four VLGC newbuilding contracts on favorable terms highlights BW LPG’s ability to continue to grow its fleet cost-efficiently, for long-term value enhancement.
Mr. Gleeson adds, “The Company continues to pursue growth through storage and logistics projects and other NGL-shipping related opportunities, and will continue to seek opportunities to add tonnage at price which is value-accretive in the long-term. Purchase options have been declared where these enable to grow the fleet in a constructive way.”
