John Lycouris, Head of Energy Transition and Director at Dorian LPG, participated in the company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 earnings conference call on May 21, 2026. During the call, Lycouris discussed the company’s investment decisions, noting that the advent of ultra long stroke electronic engines informed their 2012 investment and that the development of dual fuel engines supported decisions for vessels delivered in 2023 and 2026. He described the current rate environment as healthy, but noted that Panama Canal transit fees are impacting realized rates, with auction fees for VLGCs transiting the canal ranging from $200,000 to as high as $4 million in recent weeks. Lycouris also commented on broader market conditions, stating that Dorian LPG has witnessed volatility and benefited from a tremendous increase in seaborne LPG trade in both absolute and ton-mile terms. He expressed confidence in further expansion of this trade and said the company intends to proceed judiciously with capital allocation while maintaining a solid balance sheet.
