Dynagas LNG Partners Discloses UK Sanctions Exposure on Yamal Charter Vessels

Dynagas LNG Partners LP (NYSE:DLNG) filed this Form 6-K report for the month of November 2026, attaching a press release dated November 3, 2026. The Partnership, which owns six LNG carriers with aggregate carrying capacity of approximately 914,000 cubic meters, declared a $0.05 per common unit cash distribution for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. The filing noted that the declaration and payment of distributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and depend on, among other factors, results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, and restrictions under debt agreements.

The more extensive portion of the disclosure addresses the U.K.'s Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026, enacted May 20, 2026. These regulations prohibit U.K. persons from providing or facilitating maritime transportation services for Russian-origin LNG, including carriage to third countries. For supply contracts with a duration exceeding one year executed before June 17, 2025 and not subsequently amended outside specified categories, the prohibition takes effect January 1, 2027. The Partnership stated this update supplements its prior disclosure from a press release dated September 8, 2026.

The filing identified the Yenisei River and Lena River as the two vessels affected, both employed by Yamal Trade Pte. Ltd. under time charters running to 2033 and 2034, respectively. The Partnership disclosed that it cannot assure replacement services will be available "on comparable terms, or at all," and that disruption to these charters could affect covenant compliance under its debt agreements. The filing contains forward-looking statements that the Partnership noted are subject to its cautionary language and various risks and uncertainties.
