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.
The Partnership has acquired six 174,000 cubic meter (“cbm”) latest generation X-DF LNG carriers for total consideration of $1.22 billion with long-term time charter employment in place with BP Gas Marketing Limited, Cheniere Marketing International LLP and Engie Energy Marketing Singapore Pte Ltd. Two LNGs were delivered in early September and four vessels were delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.
