Management Commentary

Mr. Ioannis Lazaridis, Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer of the Partnership's General Partner, commented:

"We are very pleased to have acquired two 5,023 TEU container vessels with long term period charters, partly financed by the proceeds from our 9.1 million Class B Convertible Preferred Unit issuance. We believe that this transaction enhances the cash flow visibility to our shareholders, further diversifies our revenue stream with the addition of HMM to our charterers, and will further underpin our existing distribution level and allow for potential distribution growth ahead. Additionally, we came to an agreement with OSG on the three bareboat charters, while reserving the Partnership's rights for future claims."

Mr. Lazaridis concluded: "I would like to reiterate our commitment to the $0.93 per unit annual distribution guidance going forward, and to the continued enhancement of our financial flexibility in order to pursue growth opportunities and forge a pathway to distribution growth."
