Recent Developments
Acquisition of vessels
On June 7, 2022, the Partnership agreed to exercise its right of first offer and acquire one 174,000 Cubic Meters (CBM) latest generation X-DF LNG/C vessel and three 13,278 Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) hybrid scrubber-fitted dual fuel ready eco container sister vessels from Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. (CMTC), for total consideration of $597.5 million. The LNG/C, to be named Asterix I, is currently under construction by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., South Korea, and is expected to be delivered to the Partnership in January 2023 upon its delivery from the shipyard. The LNG/C Asterix I comes with a long-term time charter with Hartree Partners Power & Gas Company (UK) Limited (Hartree) for a firm period of 5 years, which, together with the optional period, expires in 2031. The three 13,278 TEU eco container sister vessels, to be named Manzanillo Express, Itajai Express and Buenaventura Express, are currently under construction by Hyundai Samho Industries Co. Ltd., South Korea, and are scheduled for delivery to the Partnership in October 2022, January 2023 and May 2023, upon their respective delivery from the shipyard. The vessels have secured long-term time charters with Hapag Lloyd for a firm period of 10 years which, together with the optional periods, expire between October 2038 and May 2039.
Disposal of vessels
On May 30, 2022, the Partnership entered into two separate memoranda of agreements for the sale of the M/V Archimidis (108,892 dwt / 8,266 TEU, container carrier built 2006, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., South Korea) and the M/V Agamemnon (108,892 dwt / 8,266 TEU, container carrier built 2007, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., South Korea) to an unaffiliated third party for total consideration of $65.0 million each. Delivery of the two vessels to their buyer is expected in the third quarter of 2022.
Quarterly Common Unit Cash Distribution
On April 27, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Partnership (the Board) declared a cash distribution of $0.15 per common unit for the first quarter of 2022, which was paid on May 12, 2022 to common unit holders of record on May 6, 2022.
As previously announced, we intend to review our distributions from time to time in the light of a range of factors, including, among other things, our access to the capital markets, the refinancing of our external debt, the level of our capital expenditures and our ability to pursue accretive transactions. For further information on the risks that may affect our distributions, see Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk Factors, including in particular the risk factor entitled We cannot assure you that we will pay any distributions on our units in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 27, 2022.
Fleet Employment
Currently we own a fleet of 21 vessels, consisting of 11 Neo-Panamax container vessels, three Panamax container vessels one Capesize bulk carrier and six LNG Carriers.
As of March 31, 2022, our charter coverage for the rest of 2022 and 2023 was 95% and 92%, respectively.

Results of Operations
Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2021
Our results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 differ primarily due to:
| the net increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet by 38% or 5.8 vessels following the acquisition of three 5,100 Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) containers in February 2021 and the acquisition of six LNG/Cs during the second half of 2021, partly offset by the sale of the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena in May 2021 and the sale of the M/V Adonis in December 2021 |
| the voyage expenses incurred by one of the vessels in our fleet employed under voyage charters, compared to the respective period in 2021 |
| the increase in the Partnerships total outstanding indebtedness |
Total Revenues
Total revenues, consisting of time and voyage charter revenues, amounted to $73.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, compared to $38.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $35.3 million was primarily a result of the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet by 5.8 vessels, following the acquisition of three 5,100 TEU containers in February 2021, which generated $4.1 million of total revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.6 million during the period from the acquisition in February 2021 to March 31, 2021 and by the acquisition of six LNG/Cs during the second half of 2021 contributing $37.6 million of total revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, partly offset by the sale of the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena in May 2021 and the sale of the M/V Adonis in December 2021.
Time and voyage charter revenues are mainly comprised of the charter hires received from unaffiliated third-party charterers and are affected by the number of days our vessels operate, the average number of vessels in our fleet and the charter rates.
Voyage Expenses
Total voyage expenses amounted to $3.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, compared to $2.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $1.4 million was primarily attributable to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet and the increase in the voyage expenses incurred by one of the vessels in our fleet employed under voyage charters, compared to the respective period in 2021.
Voyage expenses primarily consist of bunkers, port expenses and commissions. Voyage expenses incurred during time charters are paid by the charterer, except for commissions, which are paid for by us. Voyage expenses incurred during voyage charters and off-hire period are paid by us.
Vessel Operating Expenses
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, our total vessel operating expenses amounted to $16.7 million, compared to $9.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The $7.5 million increase in total vessel operating expenses primarily reflects the net increase in the number and the mix of the vessels in our fleet.
Total vessel operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 include expenses of $2.3 million incurred under management agreements with Capital Ship Management Corp., Capital Gas Ship Management Corp. and Capital-Executive Ship Management Corp., compared to $1.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 (please refer to Note 4 in the unaudited interim condensed financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022).
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses amounted to $1.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.
General and administrative expenses include Board fees and expenses, audit and certain legal fees and other fees related to the requirements of being a publicly traded partnership.
Vessel Depreciation and Amortization
Vessel depreciation and amortization increased to $18.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, compared to $11.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase in vessel depreciation and amortization primarily reflects the net increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet.
Total Other Expense, Net
Total other expense, net for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, amounted to $8.0 million, compared to $3.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. Total other expense, net includes interest expense and finance cost of $10.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $3.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase in interest expense and finance cost was attributable to the increase in the Partnerships total outstanding indebtedness. Total other expenses, net for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 include a foreign exchange gain from the translation of the 150.0 million Senior Unsecured Bond (the Bond) issued on the Athens Exchange in the fourth quarter of 2021 into US dollars as of March 31, 2022.
Partnerships Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, the Partnerships net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $25.1 million compared to $10.9 million for the corresponding period in 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March, 31, 2022, total cash and cash equivalents amounted to $49.6 million. Total cash includes restricted cash of $10.6 million in total representing the minimum liquidity requirement under our financing arrangements and the Bond.
Generally, our primary sources of funds have been cash from operations, bank borrowings and, depending on our access to the capital markets, securities offerings.
Depending on the prevailing market rates when our charters expire, we may not be able to re-charter our vessels at rates similar to those under their current charters or we might trade certain of our vessels in the spot market, which translate into revenues that are inherently more volatile. As a result, our future cash flows from operations may be affected. Cash flows from operations may be further affected by other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 in Item 3. Key InformationD. Risk Factors.
In April 2016, in the face of severely depressed trading prices for master limited partnerships, including us, a significant deterioration in our cost of capital and potential loss of revenue, the Board took the decision to protect our liquidity position by creating a capital reserve and setting distributions at a level that our Board believes to be sustainable and consistent with the proper conduct of our business. We used cash accumulated as a result of quarterly allocations to our capital reserve to partially prepay our indebtedness as part of our refinancing in October 2017. We expect to continue to reserve cash in amounts necessary to service our debt in the future, including making quarterly amortization payments. Please see Item 8A: How We Make Cash Distributions in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 for further information on our cash distribution policy.
Subject to our ability to obtain required financing and access financial markets, we expect to continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire vessels and businesses. On June 7, 2022 we agreed to exercise our right of first offer and acquire one latest generation X-DF LNG/C vessel and three 13,278 TEU hybrid scrubber-fitted dual fuel ready eco container sister vessels from CMTC for total consideration of $597.5 million. The total consideration for the four vessels is expected to be financed with approximately $122.0 million of cash, $468.0 million of debt and $7.5 million in CPLP common units.
For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2023, we do not anticipate any of our vessels to undergo special survey.
As of March 31, 2022, total partners capital amounted to $546.4 million, an increase of $20.9 million compared to $525.5 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase reflects net income for the three-month period ended 31, 2022 and the amortization associated with the equity incentive plan, partly offset by distributions declared and paid during the first half of 2022 in the total amount of $3.0 million and the repurchase of Partnerships common units for an aggregate amount of $1.4 million.
Subject to shipping, charter and financial market developments, we believe that our working capital will be sufficient to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents provided by / (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the periods, presented in millions:
For the three- month periods |

Net Cash (Used in) / Provided by Financing Activities |

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $48.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 compared to $25.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $23.2 million was mainly attributable to the net increase in the number of vessels in our fleet following the acquisition of three Panamax container carrier vessels in February 2021 and six LNG/Cs during the second half of the year 2021, to the decrease in our trade accounts receivable and insurance claims accompanied by an increase in the amounts we owed for operating and other expenses partly set off by an increase in the amounts we reimbursed our managers for expenses paid on our behalf, an increase in the amounts we prepaid for operating and other expenses and an increase in inventories.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $2.8 million and was primarily attributable to expenses paid in connection with vessel disposals during 2021 and vessel improvements amounting to $2.0 million and $0.8 million respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $36.0 million and was primarily attributable to the cash paid for the acquisition of the M/V Seattle Express, the M/V Long Beach Express and the M/V Fos Express and vessel improvements amounting to $34.5 million and $1.5 million respectively.
Net Cash (Used in) / Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, was $27.0 million representing mainly the $22.5 million of scheduled principal payments on our long-term debt, $1.4 million paid for the repurchase of our common units, $0.1 of deferred financing costs and $3.0 million of dividends paid to our common unit holders.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, was $17.1 million representing mainly cash proceeds of $30.0 million from the issuance of the three new financing arrangements entered into with CMB Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., (CMBFL) that were used to partly finance the acquisition of the M/V Seattle Express, the M/V Long Beach Express and the M/V Fos Express, partly offset by $0.4 million paid for the issuance of these financing arrangements, the $9.3 million of scheduled principal payments on our long term debt, $1.4 million paid for the repurchase of our common units and $1.9 million of dividends paid to our common unit holders.
Borrowings
Our long-term borrowings are reflected in our balance sheet as Long-term debt, net and in current liabilities as Current portion of long-term debt, net.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total borrowings of $1,291.4 million and $1,317.4 million were outstanding under our financing arrangements respectively.
Credit Facilities
For information relating to our financing arrangements, please refer to Note 8 of our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 7 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the description above in Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial debt covenants. Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in our financing arrangements and any other debt instruments we may issue or enter into in the future may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions, such as interest rate developments, changes in the funding costs offered by our banks and changes in asset valuations. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired. If we are in breach of any of the restrictions, covenants, ratios or tests in our credit facility, we are unlikely to be able to make any distributions to our unit holders, a significant portion of our obligations may become immediately due and payable and our lenders commitment to make further loans to us, if any, may terminate. We may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments. In addition, obligations under our financing arrangements are secured by our vessels, and if we are unable to repay debt under the credit facility, the lenders could seek to foreclose on those assets. Any contemplated vessel acquisitions will have to be at levels that do not impair the required ratios, see Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital ResourcesBorrowings (Financing Arrangements) in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021. If the estimated asset values of vessels in our fleet decrease, we may be obligated to prepay part of our outstanding debt in order to remain in compliance with the relevant covenants in our financing arrangements. A decline in the market value of our vessels could also affect our ability to refinance our financing arrangements and/or limit our ability to obtain additional financing. As of March 31, 2022 a decrease of 10% in the aggregate fair market values of our vessels would not cause any violation of the total indebtedness to aggregate market value covenant contained in our financing arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Unitholders of
Capital Product Partners L.P.
Majuro, Republic of Marshall Islands
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Capital Product Partners L.P. and subsidiaries (the Partnership) as of March 31, 2022, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in partners capital, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss), changes in partners capital, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 27, 2022, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Partnerships management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Partnership in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

7. Long-term debt, netcontinued
Details of the Partnerships credit facilities and financing arrangements are discussed in Note 8 of the Partnerships Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 the Partnership repaid the amount of $22,476 in line with the amortization schedule of its credit facilities and financing arrangements.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Partnership was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.
As of March 31, 2022 there were no undrawn amounts under the Partnerships credit facilities and financing arrangements.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 interest expense amounted to $9,733 and $2,931, respectively and the weighted average interest rate of the Partnerships loan facilities and financing arrangements was 3.0% for both periods.
8. Financial Instruments
(a) Fair value of financial instruments
The Partnership follows the accounting guidance for financial instruments that establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities, trade receivables, amounts due to related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value.
The fair value of variable rate long-term debt (Note 7) approximates the recorded value, due to its variable interest being the LIBOR and due to the fact, the lenders have the ability to pass on their funding cost to the Partnership under certain circumstances, which reflects their current assessed risk. We believe the terms of our loans are similar to those that could be procured as of March 31, 2022. Applicable LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the loans and hence bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the fixed rate long-term debt, Note 7-(iii),(iv),(v) and (xvii) was approximately $153,076 and was determined by using Level 2 inputs being the discounted expected cash flows of the outstanding amount.
The Bonds have a fixed rate, and their estimated fair values as of March 31, 2022 were determined through Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (quoted price under the ticker symbol CPLPB1 on Athens Stock Exchange) and were approximately $164,979.
There were no Level 3 items.

This line item is presented in Derivative liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(b) Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Partnership places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits with creditworthy financial institutions rated by qualified rating agencies. A limited number of financial institutions hold the Partnerships cash. Most of the Partnerships revenues were derived from a few charterers.

9. Partners Capital - continued
Details of the Partnerships Partners Capital are discussed in Note 13 of the Partnerships Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
On January 25, 2021, the Partnerships Board of Directors approved a unit repurchase plan for an amount of $30,000 to be used for repurchasing the Partnerships common units (the repurchase plan). The Partnership may repurchase these units in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at times and prices that are considered to be appropriate by the Partnership. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership completed the repurchase of 89,345 and 133,423 units, respectively paying an average price per unit of $15.67 and $10.46 plus repurchasing expenses. These units are held as treasury units by the Partnership and the amounts of $1,403 and $1,400 recorded as a reduction in the Partnerships Partners Capital for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Partnership declared and paid the following distributions to its common unit holders:

10. Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
In January 2022, the board of directors adopted an amended and restated Compensation Plan (the Plan), so as to reserve for issuance a maximum number of 750,000 restricted common units. As a result, the total number of restricted common units reserved is 1,045,000.
On March 18, 2022, the Partnership awarded 653,000 unvested units to Employees and Non-Employees with a grant-date fair value of $15.18 per unit. Awards granted to certain Employees and Non-Employees would vest in three equal installments.
The following table contains details of our plan:
Equity compensation plan | ||||||||
Unvested Units | Units | Amount | ||||||

|
|

|
The unvested units accrue distributions as declared and paid, which distributions are retained by the custodian of the Plan until the vesting date at which time they are payable to the grantee. As unvested unit grantees accrue distributions on awards that are expected to vest, such distributions are charged to Partners capital.
There were no forfeitures of awards during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022. The Partnership estimated the forfeitures of unvested units to be immaterial.
As of March 31, 2022 the unvested units accrued $98 of distributions.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 the equity compensation expense that has been charged in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income was $136 and $504 respectively. This expense has been included in General and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
As of March 31, 2022 the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested awards is $9,776 and is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.8 years. The Partnership uses the straight-line method to recognize the cost of the awards.

11. Net Income Per Unit
The general partners and common unit holders interests in net income are calculated as if all net income for periods subsequent to April 4, 2007 were distributed according to the terms of the partnerships agreement, regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The Limited Partnership Agreement (the Partnership Agreement) does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash, which is a contractually-defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter after establishment of cash reserves determined by the Partnerships board of directors to provide for the proper resources for the Partnerships business. Unlike available cash, net income is affected by non-cash items. The Partnership follows the guidance relating to the Application of the Two-Class Method and its application to Master Limited Partnerships and considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the Two-Class Method.
The Partnership also considers whether the Partnership Agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the incentive distribution rights that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the incentive distribution rights for each reporting period.
Under the Partnership Agreement, the holder of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership, which is currently CGP, assuming that there are no cumulative arrearages on common unit distributions, has the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions after the minimum quarterly distribution.
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 the Partnership excluded the effect of 653,000 and 412,916 non-vested unit awards in calculating dilutive EPU for its common unitholders, as they were anti-dilutive. The non-vested units were participating securities because they received distributions from the Partnership and these distributions did not have to be returned to the Partnership if the non-vested units were forfeited by the grantee.
In addition, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 the Partnership excluded the effect of 471,595 and 133,423 repurchased common units, under the repurchase plan (Note 9), from the date of their repurchase in calculating basic and diluted EPU for its common unitholders respectively.
The Partnerships net income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 did not exceed the First Target Distribution Level of $1.6975 per unit per quarter, as such term is defined in the Partnership Agreement, and as a result, the assumed distribution of net income did not result in the use of increasing percentages to calculate CGPs interest in net income.
The Two-Class Method was used to calculate EPU as follows:

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
Various claims, suits and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Partnerships vessels. The Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Partnership accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, the Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a) Dividends: On April 27, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Partnership (the Board) declared a cash distribution of $0.15 per common unit for the first quarter of 2022 which was paid on May 12, 2022 to common unit holders of record on May 6, 2022.
(b) Acquisition of vessels: On June 7, 2022 the Partnership announced that it has agreed to exercise its right of first offer and acquire one 174,000 Cubic Meters (CBM) latest generation X-DF LNG/C vessel and three 13,278 Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit (TEU) hybrid scrubber-fitted dual fuel ready eco container sister vessels from Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. (CMTC), for total consideration of $597,500. The LNG/C, to be named Asterix I, is currently under construction by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., South Korea, and is expected to be delivered to the Partnership in January 2023 upon its delivery from the shipyard. The LNG/C Asterix I comes with a long-term time charter with Hartree Partners Power & Gas Company (UK) Limited (Hartree) for a firm period of 5 years, which, together with the optional period, expires in 2031. The three 13,278 TEU eco container sister vessels, to be named Manzanillo Express, Itajai Express and Buenaventura Express, are currently under construction by Hyundai Samho Industries Co. Ltd., South Korea, and are scheduled for delivery to the Partnership in October 2022, January 2023 and May 2023, upon their respective delivery from the shipyard. The vessels have secured long-term time charters with Hapag Lloyd Aktiengesellschaft for a firm period of 10 years which, together with the optional periods, expire between October 2038 and May 2039. The total consideration of $597,500 is expected to be financed with approximately $122,000 of cash, $468,000 of debt and $7,500 in Partnerships common units. The issuance of common units to CMTC will occur upon the delivery of the first container vessel, the M/V Manzanillo Express.
(c) Disposal of vessels: On May 30, 2022, the Partnership entered into two separate memoranda of agreements for the sale of the M/V Archimidis (108,892 dwt / 8,266 TEU, container carrier built 2006, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., South Korea) and the M/V Agamemnon (108,892 dwt / 8,266 TEU, container carrier built 2007, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., South Korea) to an unaffiliated third party for total consideration of $65,000 each. Delivery of the two vessels to their buyer is expected in the third quarter of 2022. The estimated carrying value of the M/V Archimidis and the M/V Agamemnon as of May 30, 2022 was $38,727 and $41,806 respectively.
