Following closely on the heels of last week’s announced transaction with Sevan, a joint venture of Teekay LNG Partners LP and Marubeni Corporation, announced the acquisition of Maersk LNG Carriers. Also thin on detail, the parties disclosed that the joint venture would acquire the ownership interests in eight LNG carriers from A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.402 billion, which will be paid in cash with no assumption of debt. The average age of the fleet is 3.25 years making it the second youngest in the industry and the youngest among all independent owners. As far as responsibilities, Teekay LNG will provide the technical management upon turnover.
