Navios Maritime Partners L.P. strengthens its fleet with newbuilding vessels

Anticipating to a strong tanker market Navios Maritime Partners, proceeded to the acquisition of two scrubber-fitted newbuilding aframax/LR2 tankers for $133.0 million.

In June 2025, Navios Partners agreed to acquire two scrubber-fitted newbuilding aframax/LR2 tankers of 115,000 dwt, from unrelated third parties, for an aggregate purchase price of $133.0 million. The vessels are expected to be delivered into Navios Partners’ fleet during the first half of 2027.

Sale of vessels

During the second quarter of 2025, Navios Partners agreed to sell a 2009-built 4,250 TEU containership and a 2008-built 4,730 TEU containership, to unrelated third parties, for an aggregate gross sale price of $65.5 million. The sales are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026, respectively.

In July 2025, Navios Partners agreed to sell a 2009-built transhipper vessel of 57,573 dwt to Navios South American Logistics Inc. for a gross sale price of $30.0 million. The sale was completed in July 2025. The transaction was negotiated and approved by the Conflicts Committee of Navios Partners.

One newbuilding vessel delivered

In June 2025, Navios Partners took delivery of a 2025-built aframax/LR2 tanker, which has been chartered-out at a rate of $27,446 net per day for a period of five years.

Navios Partners owns and operates a fleet comprised of 68 dry bulk vessels, 47 containerships and 58 tankers, including 18 newbuilding tankers (12 aframax/LR2 and six MR2 product tanker chartered-in vessels under bareboat contracts) that are expected to be delivered through the first half of 2028 and four 7,900 TEU newbuilding containerships that are expected to be delivered through the first half of 2027. The fleet excludes two containerships agreed to be sold.

Recently the company reported its financial results for the second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Angeliki Frangou, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, “I am pleased with the results for the second quarter of 2025, in which we reported revenue of $327.6 million, EBITDA of $178.2 million and net income of $69.9 million. Earnings per common unit were $2.34 for the quarter.”

Mrs Frangou continued, “Global economies have been surprisingly robust given the uncertain macro-environment. In addition, we are witnessing the creation and reshaping of trade patterns with longer distances due to the war between Ukraine and Russia, continued attacks in the Red Sea, and new and evolving world tariff regime. As a result, the shipping market generally is healthy.”
