ATHENS, Greece, June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. (the "Company", "CCEC", "we" or "us") (NASDAQ:CCEC), an international owner of ocean-going vessels, today announced the delivery of LNG Carrier ("LNG/C") Archimidis on June 2, 2026, and dual-fuel medium gas carrier Aristogenis on June 4, 2026, as well as new time charter employment secured for three LCO2/LPG carriers and two LNG carriers.

Fleet Update — LCO2/LPG Fleet

As previously announced, the Company took delivery of its second LCO2/multi-gas carrier, the Amadeus (Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd., 22,000 cbm), on April 30, 2026. The vessel has since commenced a 12-month time charter, effective May 21, 2026. Its sister vessel, the Alkimos (Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd., 22,000 cbm), is expected to be delivered from the shipyard on September 30, 2026, and has been fixed on a seven-month time charter. Both time charters are subject to final vetting clearance.

On June 4, 2026, the Company also took delivery of the dual-fuel medium gas carrier Aristogenis (Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd., 45,000 cbm), which commenced a 12-month time charter upon delivery from the shipyard.

Fleet Update — LNG Carriers

The LNG/C Archimidis, delivered from the shipyard on June 2, 2026, and the LNG/C Agamemnon (HD Hyundai Samho Co., Ltd., 174,000 cbm), expected to be delivered on June 17, 2026, have both secured bridging time charter employment with a major energy company through March 2027.

Upon completion of these charters, both vessels will commence the previously announced long-term charters originally allocated to the LNG/C Athlos and LNG/C Archon, with firm periods of five years and seven years, respectively, each including an additional five-year option at the charterer's discretion.

In aggregate, the five-time charters are expected to generate approximately $87.4 million in gross revenue over their firm periods.

As a result, CCEC's contracted revenue backlog now stands at approximately $3.1 billion, with an average remaining firm charter duration of 6.7 years. Including all charterer extension options, the Company's backlog would increase to approximately $4.6 billion, with an average duration of 9.8 years.
