Teekay to Buy Four LPG carriers

Teekay LNG Partners LP, a Bahamas maritime firm, will pay $106m to buy four liquefied petroleum gas carriers. Upon their delivery to Teekay LNG, all of the vessels will run on long-term, fixed-rate time-charters, Teekay said Wednesday. The company expects that each ship will generate about $11.6m per year in revenues. Three of the LPG carriers are under construction and will be purchased from IM Skaugen ASA upon their delivery from the shipyard between early 2008 and mid-2009. Source: United Press International
