CAPITAL
PRODUCT PARTNERS L.P. ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY OF M/T “ANEMOS
I”
ATHENS,
Greece,
September 28 -- Capital Product Partners L.P. (Nasdaq: CPLP) announced today
that it took successful delivery of its thirteenth product tanker, M/T “Anemos
I”, from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Ltd., a Korean shipyard, on September 28,
2007.
M/T
“Anemos
I”, an
ice strengthened vessel (Ice Class 1A), has a carrying capacity of 47,823
dwt
and is capable of carrying a range of refined oil products, chemicals (including
ethanol and biodiesel feedstock), and crude oil worldwide. The vessel has
been
fixed under a time charter with Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. for three
years at a base rate of $20,000 per day, subject to a profit sharing arrangement
which allows each party to share additional revenues equally when spot rates
are
higher than the base rate. The vessel’s purchase price of $56 million was fully
funded through a drawdown on the existing revolving credit
facility.
The
M/T “Anemos I”
is the fourth out of seven additional medium-range product tankers that Capital
Product Partners L.P. has agreed to purchase from Capital Maritime & Trading
Corp. The remaining three product tankers will be 51,000 dwt MR chemical/product
tanker sister vessels that are scheduled for delivery in January, June and
August 2008, all of which will be under bareboat charters commencing at the
time
of delivery.
