Company Overview
Capital Product Partners L.P. (Nasdaq: CPLP) is an international shipping company engaged in the seaborne transportation of natural gas, containerized goods and dry cargo. As a publicly traded master limited partnership, CPLP has elected to be treated as a C-Corp. for tax purposes which is most beneficial for U.S. investors (as they receive the standard 1099 form). The Partnership is well-positioned to benefit from the long-term growth dynamics of the global shipping industry and to capitalize on potential acquisition opportunities in the fragmented shipping market.
