Dynagas LNG利润攀升

据世界天然气网站6月5日消息 总部位于希腊的Dynagas液化天然气合作伙伴公司是由船东Dynagas组建的一家合伙企业，该公司报告称，由于航程收入增加，第一季度利润有所上升。

截至3月31日的三个月净收入增至700万美元，而2019年同期为190万美元。

Dynagas液化天然气公司将这一增长归因于更高的航行收入以及财务成本的下降。

由于液化天然气运船Lena River在2019年7月交付与诺瓦泰克亚马尔液化天然气多年合同后获得的收入增加，1-3月期间的航行收入增长了近10%，达到3450万美元。

该企业报告称，在三个月期间，平均每日租用每艘船的佣金总额约为63100美元。

相比之下，2019年同期每艘船每天的费用为57700美元。

这家航运公司旗下的6艘液化天然气运输船均按照与国际天然气生产商签订的租船合同运营，平均剩余合同期限为8.3年。

Dynagas液化天然气船队最早的合同再交付日期为2021年第三季度（Arctic Aurora液化天然气运输船），下一个承运人清洁能源最早可在2026年第一季度重新租船。

首席执行官托尼·劳瑞岑说：“尽管该行业在Covid-19爆发方面面临着运营挑战，但我们很高兴报告收入与2019年第四季度保持一致，净收入增长26%，主要原因是利息支出降低。”

劳瑞岑说：“由于我们有效的应对计划，疫情目前的影响在操作上是可控的，该计划在我们的海员、租船人和雇员的支持下得到了成功实施，我们对此表示感谢。”

Dynagas LNG profit climbs

Greece-based Dynagas LNG Partners, a partnership formed by shipowner Dynagas, reported a rise in its first-quarter profit boosted by higher voyage revenues.

Net income for the three months ended March 31 increased to $7 million as compared to $1.9 million in the same period in 2019.

Dynagas LNG attributed the rise to higher voyage revenues as well as a decrease in finance costs.

Voyage revenues for the January-March period rose almost 10 percent to $34.5 million boosted by higher revenues earned on LNG carrier Lena River following its delivery to its multi-year contract with Novatek’s Yamal LNG in July 2019.

The partnership reported average daily hire gross of commissions of about $63,100 per day per vessel in the three-month period.

This compares to $57,700 per day per vessel in the corresponding period of 2019.

The shipping company’s six LNG carriers are all operating under their term charters with international gas producers with an average remaining contract term of 8.3 years.

The earliest contracted re-delivery date for Dynagas LNG fleet is in the third quarter of 2021 for the Arctic Aurora, with the next carrier the Clean Energy becoming available for re-chartering at the earliest in the first quarter of 2026.

“Despite the operational challenges the industry is facing with respect to the Covid-19 outbreak, we are pleased to report revenues in line with the fourth quarter of 2019 and net income increasing by 26% primarily as a result of lower interest expense”, chief executive Tony Lauritzen said.

“The current impact of the outbreak has been operationally manageable due to our manager’s effective response plan which has been successfully implemented with the support of our seafarers, charterers and employees which we are grateful for”, Lauritzen said.
