These results reflect the commitment of our people and the strength of Nakilat’s operating model, built on reliability, customer-centricity, and long-term partnerships. As we look ahead, we remain focused on creating value for our shareholders and supporting the secure, efficient transportation of cleaner energy to the world.”

During 2025, Nakilat continued to translate its fleet growth plans into visible progress, marked by key milestones in the construction of several vessels across leading shipyards in South Korea.
