Dynagas LNG Partners, LP (ticker DLNG) is currently out on its IPO roadshow and looking to raise $250 million by selling 12.5 million common units (before the over-allotment) at a mid-point price of $20 with an indicated mid-point yield of 7.3%. They expect to price the deal Tuesday November 12.

DLNG is a growth-oriented limited partnership focused on owning and operating LNG
carriers. DLNG’s high-specification vessels are employed on multi-year time charters, with international energy companies such as BG Group and Gazprom, providing the benefits of stable cash flows and high utilization rates. DLNG intends to leverage the reputation, expertise, and relationships of its Sponsor and Manager in maintaining cost-efficient operations and providing reliable seaborne transportation services to its customers. In addition, they intend to make further vessel acquisitions from their Sponsor and from third parties. DLNG’s Sponsor entered the LNG sector in 2004 by ordering the construction of three LNG carriers, the Clean Energy, the Ob River, and the Clean Force, from Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. or HHI, one of the world’s leading shipbuilders of LNG carriers.
