AI Summary

Dynagas LNG Partners LP reported Q1 2026 net income of $17.4 million, or $0.43 per common unit, an increase of 27.9% year-over-year, supported by 95.1% fleet utilization and $24.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA. The company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.050 per common unit. Operationally, the "Clean Energy" vessel commenced a new, higher-rate time charter with Rio Grande LNG in April 2026.
