Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp.

Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. is an international shipping company headquartered in Piraeus, Greece, operating as a leading platform for gas carriage solutions. The company's core mission is to drive the transition to cleaner and more sustainable shipping practices, aiming for a carbon-free world by focusing on energy transition.

The company provides marine transportation services with a fleet primarily focused on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other energy-transition gases. As of April 2026, its operational fleet comprises 14 high-specification vessels, including 12 latest-generation LNG carriers, one legacy Neo-Panamax container vessel, and one handy LCO2/multi-gas carrier. Additionally, Capital Clean Energy Carriers has 18 vessels under construction, including nine LNG carriers, six dual-fuel medium gas carriers, and three handy LCO2/multi-gas carriers, with deliveries scheduled between the second quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2029.

Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp. recently declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share in April 2026 and is scheduled to release its first-quarter 2026 earnings on May 7, 2026. The company, led by CEO Jerry Kalogiratos and Chairman Martin Houston (appointed March 2026), has undergone a strategic transformation, rebranding from Capital Product Partners L.P. in August 2024 to emphasize its pivot towards the clean energy shipping sector. This strategic shift involves divesting from container-focused assets to concentrate on gas carriage, positioning it as a key player in the global energy transition movement with a substantial contracted revenue backlog.
