Reports Q4 revenue $266.27M vs. $258.17M last year. CEO John Coustas commented: "In this quarter it became evident that the business community continues to adapt quickly to geopolitical disruptions. Despite concerns that tariff and geopolitical uncertainty would cause a U.S. slowdown, it has not materialized. At the same time, the hype around AI-related investments has increased optimism, China's exports continue to set new records and consequently container volumes have reached record highs. With the Suez Canal still largely avoided by major liners, and trade patterns increasingly transforming to multipolar, demand for midsize vessels has remained very strong.Against this background we continued our strategy of securing long term employment for our existing vessels through forward fixtures by either extending existing charters or by new charters even for late 2027 dates. We also continued to invest in modern container vessels...the company's total contracted revenue increased to $4.3B as of the end of the quarter, giving us great earnings visibility into the future from which we derive comfort on our ability to manage any eventual future market developments...our liquidity at year-end reached $1.4B. Backed by a strong financial profile, we have begun exploring selective investments in the energy sector to broaden revenue sources and expand in the LNG business...The company remains focused on positioning itself at the forefront of shipping and energy growth areas for the benefit of our shareholders".

Danaos announced a strategic partnership with Glenfarne Group to advance the Alaska LNG project. More specifically, Danaos will make a $50M development capital equity investment in Glenfarne Alaska Partners while it will also be the preferred tonnage provider to construct and operate at least six LNG carriers to deliver LNG to global customers for Glenfarne Alaska LNG, LLC, majority owner and developer of the Alaska LNG Project. Glenfarne is developing Alaska LNG in two financially independent phases to accelerate project execution. Phase One consists of a 765-mile, 42-inch pipeline to transport natural gas from Alaska's North Slope to meet Alaska's domestic energy needs. Phase Two will add the LNG liquefaction terminal and related infrastructure to export 20M tonnes per annum of LNG.
