SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 2, 2025--

BW LPG Limited (“BW LPG” or the “Company”, OSE ticker code: “BWLPG.OL”, NYSE ticker code: “BWLP”) is pleased to announce that its 52%-owned subsidiary, BW LPG India, has entered into an agreement to sell the 2008-built BW Lord for continued trading.

On a 100% basis, the sale of BW Lord is expected to generate a net book gain of approximately US$25 million and net cash proceeds of around US$61 million. The vessel is scheduled for delivery to the buyer before the end of 2025, enabling BW LPG India to continue earning income from the asset until the handover.

This transaction follows BW LPG India’s recent purchases of the 2015-built BW Chinook and BW Pampero, further strengthening its position as the owner and operator of India’s youngest and largest fleet of Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs). The fleet currently comprises eight VLGCs, which collectively handle approximately 20% of India’s LPG imports.

Kristian Sørensen, CEO of BW LPG, says, “We continue to advance our strategy to modernise BW LPG India’s fleet while capitalizing on strong asset values in the second-hand market. This is another transaction that underscores the agility of our commercial platform and our ability to unlock value in the current market environment.”
