Risks Related to our Preference Units

Risks Inherent in the LNG Carriers Business

Our results of operations and financial condition depend significantly on charter rates for LNG carriers which may be highly volatile and depend on factors outside of our control. Operating vessels in the spot market, or being unable to recharter the vessels on long-term charters with similar or better rates, means our revenues and cash flows from these vessels will decline following expiration of our current charter arrangements. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, the value of our assets, and could further reduce or eliminate our ability to pay distributions on our common or Preference Units.

The GasLog Geneva and the GasLog Gibraltar are due to come off their long-term charters in September and October 2023, respectively, unless their charterer exercises its extension options. Six of the nine vessels operating in the short-term spot market (defined as vessels under contracts with initial duration of more than three years) are due to come off charter between April 2023 and December 2023. Our Steam vessels are less efficient and have higher CO₂ emissions than larger, more technologically advanced modern LNG carriers and it may be more challenging to find spot and/or term employment for these vessels in the future. Unless we are able to secure longer term charters at attractive rates we will have exposure to the spot market which is highly competitive and subject to significant price fluctuations. In addition, there may be extended periods of idle time between charters. Moreover, any longer-term charters we are able to secure for our vessels may not be as long in duration as the multi-year charters we have enjoyed in the past and are likely to be at lower charter rates. In recent years, as a result of more LNG being traded on a short-term basis and greater liquidity in the LNG shipping market than was historically the case, the duration of term charters for on-the-water vessels with such charters now generally being anywhere between six months and three years. If we are unable to secure employment for a vessel, we will not receive any revenues from that vessel but we will be required to pay expenses necessary to maintain the vessel in proper operating condition, as well as servicing the debt attached to the vessel.

Failure to secure new term charters could adversely affect our future liquidity, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders, as well as our ability to meet certain of our debt obligations and covenants.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2022, we had a total of 671 open vessel days during 2023. A failure to obtain charters at acceptable rates on our vessels could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for dividends to our unitholders.

On February 6, 2020, in light of reduced expectations for Steam vessel utilization and earnings due to these risks, we announced that GasLog Partners will focus its capital allocation on debt repayment and prioritizing balance sheet strength. The Partnership reduced its quarterly common unit distribution to $0.125 per unit for the first quarter of 2020, from $0.561 per unit for the fourth quarter of 2019 and then further decreased its quarterly common unit distribution to $0.01 per unit for the third quarter of 2020 onwards. Today, our capital allocation strategy remains unchanged with a focus on balance sheet strength, deleveraging, reducing the all-in break-even rates in our fleet and repurchasing our Preference Units on an opportunistic basis in the open market. In addition, as part of our capital allocation priorities we have set leverage targets to monitor our performance. While we have reduced our leverage in recent years, we have not yet achieved those targets and there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to reduce leverage in order to meet those targets.

If the number of vessels available in the short-term or spot LNG carrier market continues to expand and results in reduced opportunities to secure multi-year charters for our vessels, our revenues and cash flows may become more volatile and may decline following expiration or early termination of our current charter arrangements and may adversely impact our ability to pay distributions on our common units.

Most shipping requirements for new LNG projects continue to be secured on a multi-year basis, although the level of spot voyages and short-term time charters of less than 12 months in duration has grown in recent years. As vessels currently operating under multi-year charters redeliver, the number of vessels available in the short-term or spot charter market is likely to continue to expand which may result in reduced opportunities to secure multi-year charters for our vessels. With our vessels trading in the short-term or spot market upon expiration or early termination of our current charters, our revenues and cash flows may become more volatile and may decline. These factors could result in a decrease in our revenues and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

An oversupply of LNG carriers as a result of excessive new ordering in previous years may lead to a reduction in the charter hire rates we are able to obtain when seeking charters in the future which could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows, especially in relation to our Steam vessels that are less efficient compared to newer vessels.

Based on current levels of demand, we currently believe that the global LNG carrier fleet may experience high levels of utilization over the next one to two years, though the supply of LNG carriers has been increasing as a result of the ordering and delivery of new ships. Ordering increased significantly in 2022, despite shipyard prices for newbuild vessels rising substantially, as a result of a renewed focus on energy security, diversification and investment in LNG infrastructure after the geopolitical events surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the decline of Russian pipeline flows to Europe by about 90%.

According to Poten & Partners Group, Inc. (“Poten”), as of January 31, 2023, the global trading fleet of conventional LNG carriers (>100,000 cbm) consisted of 606 vessels, with another 288 LNG carriers on order (with delivery up to 2028, 174 were ordered in 2022), of which 22 do not have multi-year charters. The majority of these vessels are tied to new projects, including about 20% of confirmed vessel orders tied to Qatar’s North Field Expansion project, and therefore likely to not negatively impact the supply-demand for vessels.

Any future expansion of the global LNG carrier fleet in excess of the demand for LNG shipping will likely have a negative impact on charter hire rates, vessel utilization and vessel values, however it has become difficult to secure additional berths and with prices for new vessels exceeding $250.0 million ordering may subside in 2023. If charter hire rates are lower when we are seeking new time charters, or if we are unable to secure employment for our vessels trading in the spot and short-term markets, as a result of increased competition from modern vessels, our revenues and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders, may further decline.

The LNG shipping industry is subject to substantial environmental and other regulations which may be increased further by the growing global focus on a lower carbon economy, the effects of climate change (physical and transition) and the increasing demand for environmental, social and governance disclosures by investors, lenders and regulators. We may incur substantial costs in complying with new or changing environmental regulations which may affect our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions on our common units.

Our operations are materially affected by extensive and changing international, national, state and local environmental laws, regulations, treaties, conventions and standards which are in force in international waters, or in the jurisdictional waters of the countries in which our ships operate and in the countries in which our ships are registered. These requirements include those relating to equipping and operating ships, providing security and minimizing or addressing impacts on the environment from ship operations. These requirements may introduce regulations which affect the operation profile of our vessels and could impact our existing charters. We may incur substantial costs in complying with these requirements, including costs for ship modifications and changes in operating procedures. We also could incur substantial costs, including clean-up costs, civil and criminal penalties and sanctions, the suspension or termination of operations and third party claims as a result of violations of, or liabilities under, such laws and regulations. The higher emissions of our Steam vessels relative to more modern vessels could make it more difficult to secure employment for these vessels and reduce the rates at which we can charter these vessels to our customers.

In addition, these requirements can affect the resale value or useful lives of our ships, require a reduction in cargo capacity, operating speed, necessitate ship modifications or operational changes or restrictions or lead to decreased availability of insurance coverage for environmental matters. They could further result in the denial of access to certain jurisdictional waters or ports or detention in certain ports. We are required to obtain governmental approvals and permits to operate our ships. Delays in obtaining such governmental approvals may increase our expenses, and the terms and conditions of such approvals could materially and adversely affect our operations.

Additional laws, regulations, taxes or levies may be adopted that could limit our ability to do business or increase our operating costs, which could materially and adversely affect our business. New or amended legislation relating to ship recycling, sewage systems, emission control (including emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants) as well as ballast water treatment and ballast water handling may be adopted. For example, the United States has enacted legislation, and more recently a convention adopted by the International Maritime Organisation (“IMO”) has become effective, governing ballast water management systems on oceangoing ships. The IMO has also established progressive standards limiting emissions from ships (ratified in the MEPC75) starting from 2023 towards 2030 and 2050 goals. The EU is trying to incorporate shipping within the carbon Emission Trading Scheme already existing for other sectors. These and other laws or regulations may require additional capital expenditures or operating expenses (such as increased costs for low sulfur fuel or pollution controls) in order for us to maintain our ships’ compliance with international and/or national regulations. We may also become subject to additional laws and regulations if we enter new markets or trades.

The EU’s Taxonomy Regulation establishes an EU framework for the classification of sustainable economic activities with the aim of providing transparency to investors and business as the EU moves towards its 2050 climate neutrality goal. In February 2022, proposed new rules announced by the EU named natural gas and nuclear power generation as “transitional technologies” (provided they meet certain criteria, such as replacing coal plants, and subject to certain limits and phase put periods) and set out new disclosure rules for companies regarding annul reporting about compliance with green criteria. The rules came into effect on January 1, 2023.

We also believe that the heightened environmental, quality and security concerns of insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers will generally lead to additional regulatory requirements and/or contractual requirements, including enhanced risk assessment and security requirements, as well as greater inspection and safety requirements on all LNG carriers in the marine transportation market. These requirements are likely to add incremental costs to our operations, and the failure to comply with these requirements may affect the ability of our ships to obtain and, possibly, recover from, insurance policies or to obtain the required certificates for entry into the different ports where we operate.

Some environmental laws and regulations, such as the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”), provide for potentially unlimited joint, several and/or strict liability for owners, operators and demise or bareboat charterers for oil pollution and related damages. OPA applies to discharges of any oil from a ship in U.S. waters, including discharges of fuel and lubricants from an LNG carrier, even if the ships do not carry oil as cargo. In addition, many states in the United States bordering a navigable waterway have enacted legislation providing for potentially unlimited strict liability without regard to fault for the discharge of pollutants within their waters. We also are subject to other laws and conventions outside the United States that provide for an owner or operator of LNG carriers to bear strict liability for pollution, such as the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims of 1976, (the “London Convention”).

Table of Contents

Some of these laws and conventions, including OPA and the London Convention, may include limitations on liability. However, the limitations may not be applicable in certain circumstances, such as where a spill is caused by a ship owner’s or operator’s intentional or reckless conduct. These limitations are also subject to periodic updates and may otherwise be amended in the future.

Compliance with OPA and other environmental laws and regulations may also require ship owners and operators to incur increased costs for additional maintenance and inspection requirements, develop contingency arrangements for potential spills, obtain mandated insurance coverage and meet financial responsibility requirements.

Increased concern over climate change could lead to a more negative perception of the oil and gas industry which could impact our ability to attract investors, access financing in the bank and capital markets and attract and retain talent.

Ship values may fluctuate substantially, which has resulted in non-cash impairment charges on our Steam vessels in previous years, including in 2022. A further decline in ship values could impact our compliance with the covenants in our loan agreements and, if the values are lower at a time when we are attempting to dispose of ships, cause us to incur a loss.

Values for ships can fluctuate substantially over time due to a number of different factors, including:

If the market values of our ships decline, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in our financial statements, which could adversely affect our results of operations. For a discussion of impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2022, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—E. Critical Accounting Estimates—Impairment of Vessels”. Deterioration in the market value of our ships may trigger a breach of some of the covenants contained in our credit facilities. If we do breach such covenants and we are unable to remedy the relevant breach, our lenders could accelerate our indebtedness and seek to foreclose on the ships in our fleet securing those credit facilities. In addition, if a charter contract expires or is terminated by the customer, we may be unable to redeploy the affected ships at attractive rates and, rather than continue to incur costs to maintain and finance them, we may seek to dispose of them. Any foreclosure on our ships, or any disposal by us of a ship at a time when ship values have fallen, could result in a loss and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions on our common units.

Due to concern over the risks of climate change, a number of countries and the IMO, have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. These regulatory measures may include adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards and incentives or mandates for renewable energy. Although

Table of Contents

emissions of greenhouse gases, or “GHGs”, from international shipping are not currently subject to agreements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, such as the “Kyoto Protocol” and the “Paris Agreement”, a new treaty may be adopted in the future that includes additional restrictions on shipping emissions to those already adopted under the International Convention for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Ships, or the “MARPOL Convention”. Compliance with future changes in laws and regulations relating to climate change could increase the costs of operating and maintaining our ships and could require us to install new emission controls, as well as acquire allowances, pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. Such compliance could also affect our revenues and change significantly the market in which we compete, which may adversely affect any strategic growth opportunities.

There is increasing focus on the environmental footprint of the energy and transportation sectors from governments, regulators, shareholders, customers, environmental pressure groups and other stakeholders. This has been manifested recently by the fact that some of our charterers have set specific carbon emissions targets, covering all of their activities and products and those of their suppliers. GasLog’s vessels on charter to those charterers and other energy companies form part of their supply chain and may be captured within their targets. In addition, many large financial institutions are under pressure to both reduce their own environmental footprints and to monitor the environmental footprints of the companies and projects to which they lend. While LNG is among the cleanest marine transportation fuels, the focus and pressure on the environmental footprint of the marine transportation sector is likely to remain high and may increase. For example, in June 2021, the IMO adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI that entered into force on November 1, 2022 and require ships to reduce GHG emissions using technological and operational approaches to improve energy efficiency and that provide important building blocks for future GHG reduction measures. Any specific requirements imposed on GasLog by regulators, governments, customers or other stakeholders may impact the useful life of our vessels, increase our operating costs or require us to undertake significant investments in our vessels which may reduce our revenues, profits and cash flows and may impact our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders.

Adverse effects upon the oil and gas industry relating to climate change, including growing public concern about the environmental impact of climate change, may also have an effect on demand for our services. For example, increased regulation of greenhouse gases or other concerns relating to climate change may reduce the demand for oil and natural gas in the future or create greater incentives for use of alternative energy sources. Any long-term material adverse effect on the oil and gas industry could have significant financial and operational adverse impacts on our business that we cannot predict with certainty at this time.

The continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of new variants and related governmental responses thereto may have further negative effects on the global economy, energy demand and on our results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic introduced uncertainty in a number of areas of our business, including operational, commercial, administrative and financial activities. Initially, the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses thereto negatively impacted global economic activity and demand for energy, including LNG. As a result of significantly lower demand for oil and refined products and the failure of the principal producers of oil to reduce production in line with the fall in demand, oil prices were pressured downward in 2020. Oil prices recovered by the end of 2020 and continued to recover during 2021 due to oil production cuts, as well as a more favorable economic outlook following the distribution of several COVID-19 vaccines around the world which helped to balance the market. Similarly global natural gas prices were impacted by lower industrial demand at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly during the second and third quarters of 2020, as well as increasing gas production in export markets such as the United States. Although the LNG market continued to improve throughout 2022 and remains on a positive trend, this improvement may not be sustainable in the long-term.

The ongoing spread of the COVID-19 virus, and emergence of new variants, may negatively affect our business and operations, the health of our crews and the availability of our fleet, particularly if crew members contract COVID-19, as well as our financial position and prospects. The onset of the pandemic resulted in numerous actions taken by governments and governmental agencies in an attempt to mitigate the spread or any resurgence of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures such as lockdowns. While many of these measures have since been relaxed, we cannot predict whether and to what degree such measures will be reinstated in the event of any resurgence in the COVID-19 virus or any variants thereof. Any future reduction in LNG demand and further closure of, or restricted access to, ports and terminals in regions affected by the virus may lead to reduced chartering activity and, in the extreme, an inability of our charterers to meet their obligations under the terms of their term charters. If this were to occur, we may be unable to secure charters for our vessels at rates that are sufficient to meet our financial obligations. With nine of our vessels currently trading in the short-term spot market, any additional exposure to the spot market or extended periods of idle time between charters could adversely affect our future liquidity, results of operations and cash flows.

7

Table of Contents

Additionally, if the COVID-19 pandemic again causes declines in the LNG market this could negatively impact our estimates regarding future charter rates for non-contracted revenue days and the discount rate in our future impairment assessments. This would negatively affect the future carrying values of our vessels, which could cause significant negative impacts on our liquidity and financial condition.

Although we have taken extensive measures to limit the impact of COVID-19 on business continuity, including implementation of a “work from home” policy for shore-based employees, as required depending on each location, and the commencement of select rotations of offshore personnel where possible, giving effect to local restrictions on the movement of offshore staff, these measures may not be sufficient to protect our business against the impact of COVID-19.

The occurrence or reoccurrence of any of the foregoing events or other epidemics, an increase in the severity or duration of the COVID-19 pandemic or other epidemic or a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the global economy, energy demand and our business.

We may experience operational problems with vessels that reduce revenues and increase costs. In addition, there are risks associated with operating ocean-going ships. Any limitation in the availability or operation of our ships could have a material adverse effect on our business, our reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our owned and bareboat fleet consists of 14 LNG carriers that are in operation. LNG carriers are complex and their operations are technically challenging. Marine transportation operations are subject to mechanical risks and problems. Operational problems may lead to loss of revenues or higher than anticipated operating expenses or require additional capital expenditures.

Furthermore, the operation of ocean-going ships carries inherent risks. These risks include the possibility of:

An accident involving any of our owned ships could result in any of the following:

8

Table of Contents

If any of our ships are unable to generate revenues for any significant period of time for any reason, including unexpected periods of off-hire or early charter termination (which could result from damage to our ships), our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders, could be materially and adversely affected. The impact of any limitation in the operation of our ships or any early charter termination would be amplified, as a substantial portion of our cash flows and income is dependent on the revenues earned by the chartering of our 14 LNG carriers in operation. In addition, the costs of ship repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. In the event of repair costs that are not covered by our insurance policies, we may have to pay for such costs, which would decrease our earnings and cash flows. Any of these results could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders.

All vessels in our fleet are required to be dry-docked at least once every five years for inspection and repairs. The dry-docking of our vessels may be longer and more costly than normal as a result of required repairs or regulatory requirements at the time of the dry-docking. Any delay or cost overrun of the dry-docking could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and could significantly reduce or eliminate our ability to pay distributions on our common or Preference Units.

Dry-dockings of our vessels require significant expenditures and result in loss of revenue as our vessels are off-hire during such period. Any significant increase in either the number of off-hire days or in the costs of any repairs or investments carried out during the dry-docking period could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and our cash flows. Given the potential for unforeseen issues arising during dry-docking, we may not be able to predict accurately the time required to dry-dock any of our vessels. If more than one of our ships is required to be out of service at the same time, or if a ship is dry-docked longer than expected or if the cost of repairs is greater than budgeted, our results of operations and our cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders, could be adversely affected. The upcoming dry-dockings of our vessels are expected to be carried out in 2023 (four vessels), 2024 (one vessel), 2025 (four vessels) and 2026 (five vessels).

Further technological advancements and other innovations affecting LNG carriers could reduce the charter hire rates we are able to obtain when seeking new employment for our vessels and this could adversely impact the value of our assets and our results of operations and cash flows.

The charter rates, asset value and operational life of an LNG carrier are determined by a number of factors, including the ship’s efficiency, operational flexibility and physical life. Efficiency is reflected in unit freight costs (“UFC”) which are driven by the size of the vessel, its fuel economy and the rate at which LNG in the cargo tanks naturally evaporates (“boil-off ratio” or “BOR”). Flexibility is primarily driven by the size of the ship and includes the ability to enter harbors, utilize related docking facilities and pass through canals and straits. Physical life is related to the original design and construction, the ongoing maintenance and the impact of operational stresses on the asset. Ship, cargo containment and engine designs are continually evolving. At such time as newer designs are developed and accepted in the market, these newer vessels may be more efficient or more flexible or have longer physical lives than our ships. Competition from these more technologically advanced LNG carriers compared to our vessels with older technology could adversely affect our ability to charter or re-charter our ships and the charter hire rates we will be able to secure when we seek to charter or re-charter our ships, and could also reduce the resale value of our ships. This could adversely affect our revenues and cash flows, including cash distributions to our unitholders, as well as our ability to obtain debt financing for ships with older technology whose market values have experienced a significant decline.

Our future performance and ability to secure future employment for our vessels depends on continued growth in LNG production and demand for LNG and LNG shipping and declines in the demand for LNG and LNG shipping may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.

Our future performance, including our ability to strengthen our balance sheet and to profitably employ and expand our fleet, will depend on continued growth in LNG supply and demand, and the demand for shipping. A complete LNG project includes natural gas

production, liquefaction, storage, regasification and distribution facilities, in addition to marine transportation of LNG. Growth in LNG demand and increased infrastructure investment has led to an expansion of LNG production capacity in recent years, but material delays in the construction of new liquefaction facilities could constrain the amount of LNG available for shipping, reducing ship utilization. The rate of growth of the LNG industry has fluctuated due to several factors, including the rate of global economic growth, fluctuations in global commodity prices, including natural gas, oil and coal as well as other sources of energy, and energy and environmental policy in markets which produce and/or consume LNG. Continued growth in LNG production and demand for LNG and LNG shipping could be negatively affected by a number of factors, including:

In recent years, global natural gas and crude oil prices have been volatile. Any decline in oil prices can depress natural gas prices and lead to a narrowing of the difference in pricing between geographic regions, which can adversely affect the length of voyages in the spot LNG shipping market and the spot rates and medium term charter rates for charters which commence in the near future.

Natural gas and oil prices are subject to volatility due to global events outside of our control, including the recent events in Russia and Ukraine. A continuation of the recent volatility in natural gas and oil prices may adversely affect our growth prospects and results of operations.

Natural gas prices are likely to continue to face volatility given the constrained supply outlook following the cessation of pipeline flows from Russia to Europe and suspected sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. Given the lead time for new LNG infrastructure, supply deficit and seasonal nature of LNG demand, prices are likely to continue being volatile and dependent on demand reduction measures, weather impact on demand and availability/price of alternative sources of energy such as coal. Natural gas prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the following:

With nine vessels operating in the short-term spot market (defined as vessels under contracts of less than three years) the significant global natural gas and crude oil price volatility referenced above may adversely affect our future business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make cash distributions, as a result of, among other things:

Compliance with new IMO measures related to the reduction of GHG emissions from international shipping could adversely impact our fleet and operations. Technical and operational measures implemented by regulations include the Energy Efficiency Existing Ships Index (“EEXI”) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (“CII”).

The IMO, the United Nations’ agency for regulating shipping, introduced and adopted two new measures, the EEXI and CII, which entered into force on January 1, 2023 and are expected to have an impact on our fleet in the short and long-term. Pursuant to the EEXI regulation, Steam vessels require an Engine Power Limitation which will have an impact on the vessels’ maximum attainable speed. The CII regulation may also have an impact on our Steam and TFDE vessels, although the operative form of the regulatory framework and the consequences of non-compliance have yet to be defined by IMO, making it difficult to assess the size and timing of any associated risks. However, any impact of the CII is likely to impact smaller and less efficient Steam vessels first.

Changes in global and regional economic conditions and capital markets volatility could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Weak global or regional economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in ways that we cannot predict. Our ability to expand our fleet will be dependent on our ability to obtain financing to fund the acquisition of additional ships. In addition, uncertainty about current and future global economic conditions may cause our customers to defer projects in response to tighter credit, decreased capital availability and declining customer confidence, which may negatively impact the demand for our ships and services and could also result in defaults under our current charters. Global financial markets and economic conditions have been volatile in recent years and remain subject to significant vulnerabilities such as the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and high inflation experienced in 2022. A further tightening of the credit markets may negatively impact our operations by affecting the solvency of our suppliers or customers, which could lead to disruptions in delivery of supplies such as equipment for conversions, cost increases for supplies, accelerated payments to suppliers, customer bad debts or reduced revenues. Similarly, such market conditions could affect lenders participating in our financing agreements, making them unable to fulfill their commitments and obligations to us. Any reduction in activity owing to such conditions or failure by our customers, suppliers or lenders to meet their contractual obligations to us could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations and ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders.

Compliance with safety and other requirements imposed by classification societies may be very costly and may adversely affect our business.

The hull and machinery of every commercial LNG carrier must be classed by a classification society. The classification society certifies that the ship has been built and subsequently maintained in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of that classification society. Moreover, every ship must comply with all applicable international conventions and the regulations of the ship’s flag state as verified by a classification society. Finally, each ship must successfully undergo periodic surveys, including annual, intermediate and special surveys performed under the classification society’s rules.

If any ship does not maintain its class, it will lose its insurance coverage and be unable to trade, and the ship’s owner will be in breach of relevant covenants under its financing arrangements. Failure to maintain the class of one or more of our ships could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

We operate our ships worldwide, which could expose us to political, governmental and economic instability that could harm our business.

Because we operate our ships in the geographic areas where our customers do business, our operations may be affected by political, governmental and economic conditions in the countries where our ships operate or where they are registered. Any disruption caused by these factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders. In particular, our ships frequent LNG terminals in countries including Egypt, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Trinidad, as well as transit through the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Hormuz. Future hostilities or other political instability in the geographic regions where we operate or may operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders. General trade tensions between the U.S. and

China escalated in 2018, with three rounds of U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods taking effect in 2018 and a further round taking effect in September 2019, each followed by a round of retaliatory Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods. Despite a phase one trade deal being signed in January 2020, tensions continue to exist. The recent hostilities between Russia and Ukraine and attendant sanctions promulgated by the United States, the European Union (“EU”) and other countries may also adversely impact our business, given Russia’s role as a major global exporter of crude oil and natural gas and the imposition of a price cap on Russian-origin oil announced by the U.S., EU and several other countries in December 2022. In addition, political tensions between China and Taiwan may adversely affect our business and may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in our risk factors, such as those relating to data security, supply chain and market conditions, any of which could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our business could be harmed by trade tariffs, as well as any trade embargoes or other economic sanctions by the United States or other countries against Russia, the Middle East, Asia or elsewhere as a result of terrorist attacks, hostilities or diplomatic or political pressures that limit trading activities with those countries.

Terrorist attacks, international hostilities, political change and piracy could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Terrorist attacks, piracy and the current conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere, as well as other current and future conflicts and political change, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine may lead to further regional and international conflicts or armed action. The invasion of Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy; these effects are likely to continue and possibly compound as the conflict remains ongoing. Additionally, the ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions by the United States and the European Union against Russia. While much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that such tensions could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. Furthermore, it is possible that third parties with whom we have charter contracts may be impacted by events in Russia and Ukraine, which could adversely affect our operations.

The continuing hostilities in the Middle East may lead to additional acts of terrorism, further regional conflicts, other armed actions around the world and civil disturbance in the United States or elsewhere, which may contribute to further instability in the global financial markets. These uncertainties could also adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

In the past, political conflicts have also resulted in attacks on ships, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt international shipping, particularly in the Arabian Gulf region. Acts of terrorism and piracy have also affected ships trading in regions such as the South China Sea, West Africa and the Gulf of Aden. Any terrorist attacks targeted at ships may in the future have a material negative effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could directly impact our ships or our customers.

We currently employ armed guards onboard certain vessels operating in areas that may be prone to hijacking or terrorist attacks. The presence of armed guards may increase the risk of damage, injury or loss of life in connection with any attacks on our vessels, in addition to increasing crew costs.

We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from acts of terrorism, piracy, regional conflicts and other armed actions, including losses relating to the employment of armed guards.

LNG facilities, shipyards, ships, pipelines and gas fields could be targets of future terrorist attacks or piracy. Any such attacks could lead to, among other things, bodily injury or loss of life, as well as damage to the ships or other property, increased ship operating costs, including insurance costs, reductions in the supply of LNG and the inability to transport LNG to or from certain locations. Terrorist attacks, war or other events beyond our control that adversely affect the production, storage or transportation of LNG to be shipped by us could entitle our customers to terminate our charter contracts in certain circumstances, which would harm our cash flows and our business.

Terrorist attacks, or the perception that LNG facilities and LNG carriers are potential terrorist targets, could materially and adversely affect expansion of LNG infrastructure and the continued supply of LNG. Concern that LNG facilities may be targeted for attack by terrorists has contributed significantly to local community and environmental group resistance to the construction of a number of LNG facilities, primarily in North America. If a terrorist incident involving an LNG facility or LNG carrier did occur, in

13

addition to the possible effects identified in the previous paragraph, the incident may adversely affect the construction of additional LNG facilities and could lead to the temporary or permanent closing of various LNG facilities currently in operation.

In the future, the ships we own or lease could be required to call on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the United States and other governments.

The United States and other governments and their agencies impose sanctions and embargoes on certain countries and maintain lists of countries they consider to be state sponsors of terrorism. For example, in 2010, the United States enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act, (“CISADA”), which expanded the scope of the former Iran Sanctions Act. Among other things, CISADA expanded the application of the prohibitions imposed by the U.S. government to non-U.S. companies, such as us, and limits the ability of companies and persons to do business or trade with Iran when such activities relate to the investment, supply or export of refined petroleum or petroleum products, as well as LNG.

In 2012, President Obama signed Executive Order 13608, which prohibits foreign persons from violating or attempting to violate, or causing a violation of, any sanctions in effect against Iran, or facilitating any deceptive transactions for or on behalf of any person subject to U.S. sanctions. The Secretary of the Treasury may prohibit any transactions or dealings, including any U.S. capital markets financing, involving any person found to be in violation of Executive Order 13608. Also in 2012, the U.S. enacted the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, (the “ITRA”), which created new sanctions and strengthened existing sanctions. Among other things, the ITRA intensifies existing sanctions regarding the provision of goods, services, infrastructure or technology to Iran’s petroleum or petrochemical sector. The ITRA also includes a provision requiring the President of the United States to impose five or more sanctions from Section 6(a) of the Iran Sanctions Act, as amended, on a person the President determines is a controlling beneficial owner of, or otherwise owns, operates, or controls or insures a vessel that was used to transport crude oil from Iran to another country and (1) if the person is a controlling beneficial owner of the vessel, the person had actual knowledge the vessel was so used or (2) if the person otherwise owns, operates, or controls, or insures the vessel, the person knew or should have known the vessel was so used. Such a person could be subject to a variety of sanctions, including exclusion from U.S. capital markets, exclusion from financial transactions subject to U.S. jurisdiction, and exclusion of such person’s vessels from U.S. ports for up to two years. The ITRA also includes a requirement that issuers of securities must disclose to the SEC in their annual and quarterly reports filed after February 6, 2013 whether the issuer or “any affiliate” has “knowingly” engaged in certain sanctioned activities involving Iran during the timeframe covered by the report. Finally, in January 2013, the U.S. enacted the Iran Freedom and Counter-Proliferation Act of 2012 or the “IFCA”, which expanded the scope of U.S. sanctions on any person that is part of Iran’s energy, shipping or shipbuilding sector and operators of ports in Iran, and imposes penalties on any person who facilitates or otherwise knowingly provides significant financial, material or other support to these entities.

On January 16, 2016, the United States suspended certain sanctions against Iran applicable to non-U.S. companies, such as us, pursuant to the nuclear agreement reached between Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. To implement these changes, beginning on January 16, 2016, the United States waived enforcement of many of the sanctions against Iran’s energy and petrochemical sectors described above, among other things, including certain provisions of CISADA, ITRA, and IFCA. However, in May 2018, the United States announced its withdrawal of the U.S. from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and almost all of the U.S. sanctions waived and lifted in January 2016 were reinstated in August 2018 and November 2018, respectively. These sanctions also encompass significant transactions to sell, supply or transfer to Iran goods or services related to the aforementioned sanctioned sections.

Although the ships we own have not called on ports in countries subject to sanctions or embargoes or in countries identified as state sponsors of terrorism, including Iran, North Korea and Syria, we cannot assure you that these ships will not call on ports in these countries in the future. While we intend to maintain compliance with all sanctions and embargoes applicable to us, U.S. and international sanctions and embargo laws and regulations do not necessarily apply to the same countries or proscribe the same activities, which may make compliance difficult. Additionally, the scope of certain laws may be unclear, and these laws may be subject to changing interpretations and application and may be amended or strengthened from time to time, including by adding or removing countries from the proscribed lists. Violations of sanctions and embargo laws and regulations could result in fines or other penalties and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their investment, or not to invest, in us.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and other anti-bribery legislation in other jurisdictions could result in fines, criminal penalties, contract terminations and an adverse effect on our business.

We operate our ships worldwide, requiring our ships to trade in countries known to have a reputation for corruption. We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-corruption laws and have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics which is consistent and in full compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, (the “FCPA”), and the Bribery Act 2010 of the United Kingdom (the “UK Bribery Act”). We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may take actions determined to be in violation of such anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act. Any such violation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, or curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our senior management.

Changing laws and evolving reporting requirements could have an adverse effect on our business.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to reporting requirements may create additional compliance requirements for us. To maintain high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, GasLog has invested in, and intends to continue to invest in, reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards.

The European Union Code of Conduct Group has assessed the tax policies of a range of countries including Bermuda, where our vessel owning entities are incorporated and the Marshall Islands where we also have affiliated entities incorporated. Bermuda and the Marshall Islands committed to comply with the European Union Code of Conduct Group’s requirements on economic substance and passed legislation in the form of the Bermuda Economic Substance Act of 2018 and the Marshall Islands Economic Substance Regulations, 2018, as amended.

GasLog has filed the required returns confirming we have appropriate economic substance in Bermuda and the Marshall Islands. However, it is not possible to accurately predict the outcome of any review by the authorities as to whether or not GasLog and its business has accurately interpreted the requirements. Whilst we believe we have taken appropriate advice and counsel from the relevant authorities and external legal advisors; the requirements may increase the complexity and costs of carrying on GasLog’s business with entities incorporated in Bermuda and the Marshall Islands.

Our insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to our property or result from our operations which could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

The operation of any ship includes risks such as mechanical failure, personal injury, collision, fire, contact with floating objects, property loss or damage, cargo loss or damage, failure of or disruption to information and operational technology systems and business interruption due to a number of reasons, including political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities, cyber attacks and labor strikes. In addition, there is always an inherent possibility of a marine disaster, including collision, explosion, spills and other environmental mishaps, and other liabilities arising from owning, operating or managing ships in international trade. Although we carry protection and indemnity, hull and machinery and loss of hire insurance covering our ships consistent with industry standards, we can give no assurance that we are adequately insured against all risks or that our insurers will pay a particular claim. In addition, we may be unable to insure against certain cyber events that may disrupt our information and operational technology systems. We also may be unable to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future. Even if our insurance coverage is adequate to cover our losses, we may not be able to obtain a timely replacement ship in the event of a loss of a ship. Any uninsured or underinsured loss could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

In addition, some of our insurance coverage is maintained through mutual protection and indemnity associations and, as a member of such associations, we may be required to make additional payments over and above budgeted premiums if member claims exceed association reserves.

Reliability of suppliers may limit our ability to obtain supplies and services when needed.

We rely, and will in the future rely, on a significant supply of consumables, spare parts and equipment to operate, maintain, repair and upgrade our fleet of ships. Delays in delivery or unavailability of supplies could result in off-hire days due to consequent delays in the repair and maintenance of our fleet. This would negatively impact our revenues and cash flows. Cost increases could also negatively impact our future operations, although the impact of significant cost increases may be mitigated to some extent with respect to the vessels that are employed under charter contracts with automatic periodic adjustment provisions or cost review provisions.

Governments could requisition our ships during a period of war or emergency, resulting in loss of earnings.

The government of a jurisdiction where one or more of our ships are registered could requisition for title or seize our ships. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a ship and becomes its owner. Also, a government could requisition our ships for hire. Requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a ship and effectively becomes the charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during a period of war or emergency, although governments may elect to requisition ships in other circumstances. Although we would expect to be entitled to government compensation in the event of a requisition of one or more of our ships, the amount and timing of payments, if any, would be uncertain. A government requisition of one or more of our ships would result in off-hire days under our time charters, may cause us to breach covenants in certain of our credit facilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

Maritime claimants could arrest our ships, which could interrupt our cash flows.

Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a ship, shippers or receivers of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against a ship for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lienholder may enforce its lien by arresting a ship. The arrest or attachment of one or more of our ships which is not timely discharged could cause us to default on a charter or breach covenants in certain of our credit facilities and, to the extent such arrest or attachment is not covered by our protection and indemnity insurance, could require us to pay large sums of money to have the arrest or attachment lifted. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

Additionally, in some jurisdictions, such as the Republic of South Africa, under the “sister ship” theory of liability, a claimant may arrest both the ship that is subject to the claimant’s maritime lien and any “associated” ship, which is any ship owned or controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try to assert “sister ship” liability against one ship in our fleet for claims relating to another of our ships.

We may be subject to litigation that could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.

We may in the future be involved from time to time in litigation matters. These matters may include, among other things, contract disputes, personal injury claims, environmental claims or proceedings, toxic tort claims, employment matters and governmental claims for taxes or duties, as well as other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any claim or other litigation matter. The ultimate outcome of any litigation matter and the potential costs associated with prosecuting or defending such lawsuits, including the diversion of management’s attention to these matters, could have an adverse effect on us and, in the event of litigation that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on us, could lead to an event of default under certain of our credit facilities.

Risks Related to Us

Our future success depends on our own and GasLog’s ability to maintain relationships with existing customers, establish new customer relationships and obtain new time charter contracts, for which we face considerable competition from other established companies with significant resources, as well as recent and potential future new entrants. We are reliant on the commercial skills of GasLog to develop, establish and maintain customer relationships on our behalf.

One of our principal objectives is to enter into additional multi-year, fixed rate charters. The process of obtaining multi-year, fixed rate charters for LNG carriers is highly competitive and generally involves an intensive screening process by potential customers

16

Table of Contents

and the submission of competitive bids. The process is lengthy and the LNG carrier time charters are awarded based upon a variety of factors relating to the ship and the ship operator, including:

We expect substantial competition from a number of experienced companies and recent and potential future new entrants to the LNG shipping market. Competitors may include other independent ship owners, state sponsored entities and major energy companies that own and operate LNG carriers, all of whom may compete with independent owners by using their own fleets to carry LNG for third parties. Some of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources and larger fleets than we or GasLog have, and some have particular relationships that may provide them with competitive advantages. In recent years, a number of marine transportation companies, including companies with strong reputations and extensive resources and experience, have either entered or significantly increased their presence in the LNG transportation market. There are other ship owners, managers and investors who may also attempt to participate in the LNG market in the future. This increased competition may cause greater price competition for time charters. As a result, we may be unable to expand our relationships with existing customers or to obtain new customers on a profitable basis and we may not be successful in executing any future growth plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

We derive a substantial majority of our contracted revenues from a limited number of customers, and the loss of any customer, charter or vessel would result in a significant loss of revenues and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, 44.2% of our revenues derived from wholly owned subsidiaries of Shell. In 2023, the initial terms of the time charters of two vessels with Shell are expected to expire unless Shell exercises their option to extend. We could lose a customer or the benefits of our time charter arrangements for many different reasons. The customer may be unable or unwilling to make charter hire or other payments to us because of a deterioration in its financial condition, commercial disputes with us, long-term force majeure events or otherwise. If a customer terminates its charters, chooses not to re-charter our ships or is unable to perform under its charters and we are not able to find replacement charters on similar or more favorable terms, we will suffer a loss of revenues.

Our charterer has the right to terminate a ship’s time charter in certain circumstances, such as:

17

Table of Contents

A termination right under one ship’s time charter would not automatically give the charterer the right to terminate its other charter contracts with us. However, a charter termination could materially affect our relationship with the customer and our reputation in the LNG shipping industry, and in some circumstances the event giving rise to the termination right could potentially impact multiple charters.

Accordingly, the existence of any right of termination or the loss of any customer, charter or vessel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

If we cannot meet our charterers’ quality and compliance requirements, including regulations or costs associated with the environmental impact of our vessels, we may not be able to operate our vessels profitably which could have an adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Customers, and in particular those in the LNG industry, have a high and increasing focus on quality, emissions and compliance standards with their suppliers across the entire value chain, including the shipping and transportation segment. There is also increasing focus on the environmental footprint of marine transportation. Our continuous compliance with existing and new standards and quality requirements is vital for our operations. Related risks could materialize in multiple ways, including a sudden and unexpected breach in quality and/or compliance concerning one or more vessels and/or a continuous decrease in the quality concerning one or more LNG carriers occurring over time. Moreover, continuously increasing requirements from LNG industry constituents can further complicate our ability to meet the standards. We are largely dependent on GasLog for our compliance with the requirements of our customers. Any non-compliance by us, either suddenly or over a period of time, on one or more LNG carriers, or an increase in requirements by our charterers above and beyond what we deliver, may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows, financial position and our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders.

Due to our lack of diversification, adverse developments in the LNG market and/or in the LNG transportation industry could adversely affect our business, particularly if such developments occur at a time when we are seeking new charters for our vessels.

We rely exclusively on the cash flow generated from charters for our LNG vessels, either spot/short-term or long-term. Due to our lack of diversification, an adverse development in the LNG market and/or the LNG transportation industry could have a significantly greater impact on our business, particularly if such developments occur at a time when our ships are not under charter or nearing the end of their charters, than if we maintained more diverse assets or lines of businesses.

We rely on our information systems to conduct our business and failure to protect these systems against security breaches could materially disrupt our business and results of operations.

The Partnership relies on information technology systems and networks, the majority of which are hosted by GasLog, in its operations and the administration of its business. The Partnership’s business operations, or those of GasLog, could be targeted by individuals or groups seeking to sabotage or disrupt the Partnership’s or GasLog’s information and operational technology systems and networks, or to steal data. A successful cyber-attack could materially disrupt the Partnership’s operations, including the safety and integrity of its operations, or lead to unauthorized release of information or alteration of information on its systems. Any such attack or other breach of the Partnership’s information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s business and results of operations. While we have insurance policies in place to cover losses in the event of a cyber related event, there can be no assurance that any specific event would be covered by these policies or that the losses would be covered in full.

War, terrorism and geopolitical conflicts could be accompanied by cyber-attacks against instruments of the government and/or cyber-attacks on surrounding countries. Cyber-attacks against the Ukrainian government and other countries in the region were reported in connection with the ongoing conflict between Russian and Ukraine in 2022. It is possible that such attacks could have collateral effects on additional critical infrastructure and financial institutions globally, which could hinder our ability to conduct our business effectively and adversely impact our revenues. It is difficult to assess the likelihood of such threat and any potential impact at this time.

We are subject to laws, directives, and regulations relating to the collection, use, retention, disclosure, security and transfer of personal data. These laws, directives and regulations, as well as their interpretation and enforcement, continue to evolve and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which regulates the use of personally identifiable information, went into effect in the EU on May 25, 2018 and applies globally to all of our activities conducted from an establishment in the EU, to related products and services that we offer to EU customers and to non-EU customers which offer services in the EU. The GDPR requires organizations to report on data breaches within 72 hours and be bound by more stringent rules for obtaining the consent of individuals on how their data can be used. Complying with the GDPR and similar emerging and changing privacy and data protection requirements may cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices. Non-compliance with our legal obligations relating to privacy and data protection could result in penalties, fines, legal proceedings by governmental entities or others, loss of reputation, legal claims by individuals and customers and significant legal and financial exposure and could affect our ability to retain and attract customers.

Changes in the nature of cyber threats and/or changes to industry standards and regulations might require us to adopt additional procedures for monitoring cybersecurity, which could require significant additional expenses and/or capital expenditures. Most recently, cyber-attacks against the Ukrainian government and other countries in the region were reported in connection with the ongoing conflict between Russian and Ukraine in 2022. It is possible that these attacks could have collateral effects on additional critical infrastructure and financial institutions globally, which could adversely affect our operations. It is difficult to assess the likelihood of such threat and any potential impact at this time.

In 2020, we reduced our quarterly cash distribution rate on our common shares to $0.01 per unit. We have maintained this distribution rate throughout 2021 and 2022 and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future; future distributions may remain at this level for an indefinite period or be eliminated entirely, which could impact our ability to raise capital.

Our board of directors and management have been proactive in revising our capital allocation strategy, prioritizing preserving liquidity, deleveraging our balance sheet, raising equity through our ATM Programme and buying back Preference Units. As a result, starting in the third quarter of 2020, in light of the continued COVID-19 related uncertainty, we reduced our quarterly cash distributions on our common units to $0.01 per unit. While we believe that this action will allow us to preserve liquidity, strengthen our balance sheet, make progress towards our leverage targets and improve the break evens of our fleet, there is some risk that we may not be able to substantially increase the amount of distribution in coming periods, which could have a negative impact on our unit price. Any negative impact on our unit price could ultimately impact our ability to raise capital.

We must make substantial capital expenditures to maintain and replace our fleet, which will reduce cash available for distribution. In addition, each quarter we are required to deduct estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures from operating surplus, which may result in less cash available to unitholders than if actual maintenance and replacement capital expenditures were deducted.

We must make substantial capital expenditures to maintain and replace, over the long-term, the operating capacity of our fleet. Maintenance and replacement capital expenditures include capital expenditures associated with (i) the removal of a vessel from the water for inspection, maintenance and/or repair of submerged parts (or dry-docking) and (ii) modifying an existing vessel or acquiring a new vessel, to the extent these expenditures are incurred to maintain, enhance or replace the operating capacity of our fleet. These expenditures could vary significantly from quarter to quarter and could increase as a result of changes in:

Table of Contents

Significant capital expenditures, including to maintain and replace, over the long-term, the operating capacity of our fleet, may reduce or eliminate the amount of cash available for distribution to our unitholders. Our partnership agreement requires our board of directors to deduct estimated, rather than actual, maintenance and replacement capital expenditures from operating surplus each quarter in an effort to reduce fluctuations in operating surplus (as defined in our partnership agreement). The amount of estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures deducted from operating surplus is subject to review and change by our conflicts committee at least once a year. In years when estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures are higher than actual maintenance and replacement capital expenditures, the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders will be lower than if actual maintenance and replacement capital expenditures were deducted from operating surplus. If our board of directors underestimates the appropriate level of estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures, we may have less cash available for distribution in future periods when actual capital expenditures exceed our previous estimates.

We may not have sufficient cash from operations following the establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees and expenses to enable us to pay the quarterly distributions on our common units, Preference Units and general partner units, or to redeem our Preference Units.

Our board of directors makes determinations regarding the payment of distributions in its sole discretion and in accordance with our partnership agreement and applicable law. On February 6, 2020, in light of reduced expectations for Steam vessel utilization and earnings, as well as our increased exposure to the spot market, we announced that GasLog Partners will focus its capital allocation on debt repayment and prioritizing balance sheet strength. The Partnership reduced its quarterly common unit distribution to $0.125 per unit for the first quarter of 2020, from $0.561 per unit for the fourth quarter of 2019 and then further decreased its quarterly common unit distribution to $0.01 per unit for the third quarter of 2020 onwards. As of February 28, 2023, our capital allocation strategy remains unchanged with a focus on balance sheet strength, deleveraging, reducing the all-in break-even rates in our fleet and repurchasing our Preference Units on an opportunistic basis (subject to Preference Unit prices). In addition, as part of our capital allocation priorities we have set leverage targets to monitor our performance. While we have reduced our leverage in recent years, we have not yet achieved those targets and there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to reduce leverage in order to meet those targets. There is no guarantee that we will continue to make distributions to our unitholders in the future (including cumulative distributions payable with respect to our Preference Units). The LNG carrier market is volatile and we cannot predict with certainty the amount of cash, if any, that will be available for distribution in any period. We may not have sufficient cash from operations to pay quarterly distributions on our common units and general partner units or to pay the quarterly preference distributions on our Preference Units. The amount of cash we can distribute on our units depends upon the amount of cash we generate from our operations as well as our capital allocation priorities as described above, which may fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on the risks described in this section, including, among other things:

Table of Contents

In addition, the actual amount of cash available for distribution will depend on other factors, including:

The amount of cash we generate from our operations may differ materially from our profit or loss for a specified period, which will be affected by non-cash items. As a result of this and the other factors mentioned above, we may make cash distributions during periods in which we record losses and may not make cash distributions during periods when we record a profit.

The derivative contracts used to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates could result in reductions in our partners’ equity as well as charges against our profit.

We enter into derivative contracts from time to time for purposes of managing our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates applicable to floating rate indebtedness and in foreign exchange rates relating to our operating expenditures that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2022, there were no foreign exchange derivatives outstanding. Nonetheless, we had four interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $133.3 million with DNB Bank ASA, London Branch and ING Bank N.V., London Branch. None of the existing derivative contracts were designated as a cash flow hedging instrument. The changes in their fair value are recognized in our statement of profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of any derivative contracts that do not qualify for treatment as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes would affect, among other things, our profit and earnings per unit.

There is no assurance that our derivative contracts will provide adequate protection against adverse changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates or that our bank counterparties will be able to perform their obligations. In addition, as a result of the implementation of new regulation of the swaps markets in the United States, the European Union and elsewhere over the next few years, the cost and availability of interest rate and currency hedges may increase or suitable hedges may not be available.

Our earnings and business are subject to the credit risk associated with our contractual counterparties and if our counterparties fail to perform their obligations we could sustain significant losses which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We will enter into, among other things, time charters and other contracts with our customers, credit facilities and commitment letters with banks, insurance contracts and interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. Such agreements subject us to counterparty credit risk. For example, for the year ended December 31, 2022, 44.2% of our revenues derived from subsidiaries of Shell. We also have vessels on charter to Trafigura, Cheniere, Naturgy, CNTIC VPOWER and Woodside. While we believe all our customers to be strong counterparties, their creditworthiness as assessed by independent parties such as credit rating agencies is less strong than that of Shell. In the future, we may enter into new charters with these and other counterparties who are less creditworthy.

Table of Contents

The ability and willingness of each of our counterparties to perform its obligations under a contract with us will depend upon a number of factors that are beyond our control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the condition of the natural gas and LNG markets and charter hire rates. Should a counterparty fail to honor its obligations under agreements with us, we could sustain significant losses which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distribution to unitholders.

Our debt levels may limit our flexibility in obtaining additional financing, pursuing other business opportunities and paying distributions to unitholders.

Our level of debt could have important consequences to us, including the following:

Our ability to service our debt depends upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. As of December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate of $921.9 million of indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities, of which $90.4 million is repayable within one year. As of December 31, 2022, we also had an aggregate of $62.6 million of lease liabilities mainly related to the sale and leaseback of the GasLog Shanghai and the Methane Heather Sally, of which $17.4 million was payable within one year. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing distributions, reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all.

Financing agreements containing operating and financial restrictions may restrict our business and financing activities. A failure by us to meet our obligations under our financing agreements would result in an event of default under such credit facilities which could lead to foreclosure on our ships.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our credit facilities and any future financing agreements could adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage, expand or pursue our business activities. For example, the financing agreements may restrict the ability of us and our subsidiaries to:

22

Table of Contents

In addition, such financing agreements may require us to comply with certain financial ratios and tests, including, among others, maintaining a minimum liquidity, and a minimum collateral value. Our ability to comply with the restrictions and covenants, including financial ratios and tests, contained in such financing agreements is dependent on future performance and may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. If market or other economic conditions deteriorate, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired.

If we are unable to comply with the restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness or in current or future debt financing agreements, there could be a default under the terms of those agreements. If a default occurs under these agreements, lenders could terminate their commitments to lend and/or accelerate the outstanding loans and declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. We have pledged our vessels as security for our outstanding indebtedness. If our lenders were to foreclose on our vessels in the event of a default, this may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage, expand or pursue our business activities. If any of these events occur, we cannot guarantee that our assets will be sufficient to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness, and we may be unable to find alternative financing. Even if we could obtain alternative financing, that financing might not be on terms that are favorable or acceptable. Any of these events would adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and could cause a decline in the market price of our common units and Preference Units. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities”.

Restrictions in our debt agreements may prevent us or our subsidiaries from paying distributions.

The payment of principal and interest on our debt reduces cash available for distribution to our unitholders. In addition, our credit facilities prohibit the payment of distributions to our unitholders upon the occurrence of the following events, among others:

Furthermore, we expect that our future financing agreements will contain similar provisions. For more information regarding these financing agreements, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities”.

The failure to consummate or integrate acquisitions in a timely and cost-effective manner could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Under the terms of the omnibus agreement, we have the right to purchase Five-Year Vessels within 30 days following receipt of notice from GasLog. In each case, our option to purchase is at fair market value as determined pursuant to the omnibus agreement. See “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions—Omnibus Agreement—Noncompetition” for the definitions of “Five-Year Vessel”.

We will not be obligated to purchase any of these vessels and, accordingly, we may not complete the purchase of any of such vessels. Furthermore, even if we are able to agree on a price with GasLog, there are no assurances that we will be able to obtain adequate financing on terms that are acceptable to us. In light of recent master limited partnership (“MLP”) market volatility and the fall in the value of our common and Preference units, it may be more difficult for us to complete an accretive acquisition.

We believe that other acquisition opportunities may arise from time to time, and any such acquisition could be significant. Any acquisition of a vessel or other asset or business may not be profitable at or after the time of acquisition and may not generate cash flow sufficient to justify the investment. In addition, any acquisition exposes us to risks that may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders, including risks that we may:

In addition, unlike newbuildings, existing vessels typically do not carry warranties as to their condition. While we generally inspect existing vessels prior to purchase, such an inspection would normally not provide us with as much knowledge of a vessel’s condition as we would possess if it had been built for us and operated by us during its life. Repairs and maintenance costs for existing vessels are difficult to predict and may be substantially higher than for vessels we have operated since they were built. These costs could decrease our cash flow and reduce our liquidity.

Certain acquisition and investment opportunities may not result in the consummation of a transaction. In addition, we may not be able to obtain acceptable terms for the required financing for any such acquisition or investment that arises. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that any announcement or consummation of an acquisition would have on the trading price of our common units or Preference Units. Our future acquisitions could present a number of risks, including the risk of failing to integrate successfully and on a timely basis the operations or management of any acquired vessels or businesses and the risk of diverting management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities. We may also be subject to additional costs related to compliance with various international laws in connection with such acquisition. If we fail to consummate and integrate our acquisitions in a timely and cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash available for distribution could be adversely affected.

Increased regulatory oversight, uncertainty relating to the nature and timing of the phasing out of LIBOR, and agreement on any new alternative reference rates may adversely impact our ability to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and borrowing costs.

As a result of the majority of our debt being primarily based on LIBOR and certain other interest rate benchmarks, fluctuations in interest rates could have a material effect on our interest expense and borrowing costs. LIBOR and certain other interest rate benchmarks may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt

24

agreements to perform differently than in the past or cause other unanticipated consequences. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced the future cessation or loss of representativeness of LIBOR benchmark as currently published by the ICE Benchmark Administration with a target date immediately after June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), a steering committee comprised of U.S. financial market participants, has selected the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (“SOFR”) as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the preferred alternative to LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash in the overnight U.S. treasury repo market. The manner and impact of this transition may materially adversely affect the trading market for LIBOR based agreements, including our credit facilities, interest rate swaps and Preference Units. As of December 31, 2022, our obligations under our secured credit facilities which accrue interest based on LIBOR with maturities extending past June 30, 2023 amounted to approximately $805.0 million. We will need to negotiate the replacement benchmark rate on our credit facilities and interest rate swaps and the use of an alternative rate or benchmark, may negatively impact our interest rate expense. Any other contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business which currently refer to, use or include LIBOR may also be impacted.

Further, if a LIBOR rate is not available on a determination date during the floating rate period for any of our LIBOR based agreements, the terms of such agreements will require alternative determination procedures which may result in interest or distribution payments differing from expectations and could affect our profit and the market value of our Preference Units.

In addition, any changes announced by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), including the FCA Announcement, the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) Benchmark Administration Limited (the independent administrator of LIBOR) or any other successor governance or oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body, in the method pursuant to which LIBOR rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR rates. If that were to occur, the level of interest or distribution payments during the floating rate period for our LIBOR based agreements would be affected and could affect our profit or the market value of our Preference Units.

As of December 31, 2022, the GasLog Partners’ credit agreement of $193.7 million with DNB Bank ASA, London branch and ING Bank N.V., London branch, each an original lender signed on July 16, 2020 (the “GasLog Partners $193.7M Facility”) had been transitioned to the three-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) Term SOFR Reference Rate as administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (“CBA”). In February 2023, the transition documentation for the GasLog Partners’ facility for up to $450.0 million signed on February 20, 2019 (the “2019 GasLog Partners Facility”) was also signed. We are in discussions with the agent and lenders related to transitioning the facility agreement dated October 16, 2015 and assumed by the Partnership following the acquisitions of GAS-eleven Ltd. on May 3, 2017, GAS-thirteen Ltd. on July 3, 2017, GAS-fourteen Ltd. on April 26, 2018 and GAS-twelve Ltd. on April 1, 2019 (the “Assumed October 2015 Facility”) to a SOFR rate, and we currently expect to enter into definitive documentation to transition the credit agreement of $260.3 million that GasLog Partners signed on July 16, 2020 (the “ GasLog Partners $260.3M Facility”) to a SOFR rate in March 2023.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to refinance our credit facilities in full or on similar or more favorable terms as they become due in the future which may increase our cost of borrowing or cause us to issue additional equity securities, which would be dilutive to existing unitholders. Our ability to refinance our existing debt or to obtain incremental debt financing for future acquisitions of ships may depend on the creditworthiness of our charterers, the terms of our future charters and the performance of our vessels operating in the spot market.

Securing access to replacement funds in advance of the maturity of three of our current debt facilities in 2024 and 2025 cannot be assured in the same amount or on the same or similar terms, especially in the current interest rate environment. Debt financing, if available, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt or to pay distributions to unitholders and may be more expensive to service than in recent years. Any future debt or equity financing raised may contain unfavorable terms to us or our unitholders. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets, or delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate some or all of our investment plans, including potential fleet growth. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distributions to our unitholders.

Furthermore, our ability to borrow against the ships in our existing fleet and any ships we may acquire in the future largely depends on the value of the ships, which in turn depends in part on charter hire rates, charter lengths and the ability of our charterers to comply with the terms of their charters. The actual or perceived credit quality of our charterers, and any defaults by them, may materially affect our ability to obtain the additional capital resources that we will require to purchase additional ships and to refinance our existing debt as balloon payments come due, or may significantly increase our costs of obtaining such capital. Reduced

expectations for the utilization and earnings of our vessels operating in the short-term spot market may also impact our ability to access additional capital resources. Our inability to obtain additional financing or having to commit to financing on unattractive terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distributions to our unitholders.

Our future ability to raise capital to repay or refinance our debt obligations or to fund our maintenance or capital expenditures will depend on certain financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. To the extent that we are unable to finance these obligations and expenditures with cash from operations or incremental bank loans or by issuing debt or equity securities, our ability to make cash distributions may be diminished, or our financial leverage may increase, or our unitholders may be diluted. Our business may be adversely affected if we need to access sources of funding which are more expensive and/or more restrictive and may adversely impact our ability to pay distributions on our common units.

To fund our existing and future debt obligations and capital expenditures and any future growth, we will be required to use cash from operations, incur borrowings, and/or seek to access other financing sources including the capital markets. Our access to potential funding sources and our future financial and operating performance will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Continuing concerns over COVID-19, inflation, rising interest rates, energy costs, geopolitical issues, including acts of war and the availability and cost of credit have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices and declining business and consumer confidence, have precipitated fears of a possible economic recession and a tightening in the credit markets, low levels of liquidity in financial markets and volatility in credit and equity markets. If we are unable to access the capital markets or raise additional bank financing or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt, capital expenditure and other business requirements, we may be forced to take actions such as:

Such measures might not be successful, available on acceptable terms or enable us to meet our debt, capital expenditure and other obligations. Some of these measures may adversely affect our business and reputation. In addition, our financing agreements may restrict our ability to implement some of these measures. Use of cash from operations and possible future sale of certain assets will reduce cash available for distribution to unitholders. Our ability to obtain bank financing or to access the capital markets may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such financing or offering as well as by adverse market conditions. Depending on the prevailing price of our common units, we may not be able to access the equity or equity-linked capital markets. Even if we are successful in obtaining the necessary funds, the terms of such financings could limit our ability to pay cash distributions to unitholders or operate our business as currently conducted. In addition, incurring additional debt may significantly increase our interest expense and financial leverage, and issuing additional equity securities may result in significant unitholder dilution and would increase the aggregate amount of cash required to maintain our quarterly distributions to unitholders. Our liquidity position could be challenged in the future, and we may need to raise equity in order to remain in compliance with the financial covenants within our loan facilities.

We are subject to certain risks with respect to our relationship with GasLog, and failure of GasLog to comply with certain of its financial covenants under its debt instruments could, among other things, result in a default under the loan facilities related to four of our vessels, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Any default by GasLog under its corporate guarantees could result in a default under the loan facility related to the GasLog Greece, the GasLog Geneva, the GasLog Gibraltar, and the GasLog Glasgow. In the event of such a default, the lenders in the facility could terminate their commitments to lend and/or accelerate the outstanding loans and declare all amounts borrowed due and payable.

26

Table of Contents

If our lenders were to foreclose on our vessels in the event of such a default, this may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage, expand or pursue our business activities. If any of these events occur, we cannot guarantee that our assets will be sufficient to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness, and we may be unable to find alternative financing. Even if we could obtain alternative financing, such financing might not be on terms that are favorable or acceptable. Any of these events would adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and could cause a decline in the market price of our common units and Preference Units.

GasLog and its affiliates may compete with us.

Pursuant to the omnibus agreement between us and GasLog, GasLog and its controlled affiliates (other than us, our general partner and our subsidiaries) generally have agreed not to acquire, own, operate or charter certain LNG carriers operating under charters of five full years or more. The omnibus agreement, however, contains significant exceptions that may allow GasLog or any of its controlled affiliates to compete with us, which could harm our business. For example, these exceptions result in GasLog not being restricted from: acquiring, owning, operating or chartering Non-Five-Year Vessels; acquiring a non-controlling equity ownership, voting or profit participation interest in any company, business or pool of assets; acquiring, owning, operating or chartering a Five-Year Vessel that GasLog would otherwise be restricted from owning if we are not willing or able to acquire such vessel from GasLog within the periods set forth in the omnibus agreement; or owning or operating any Five-Year Vessel that GasLog owns on the closing date of the IPO and that was not part of our fleet as of such date. See “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions—Omnibus Agreement—Noncompetition” for a detailed description of those exceptions and the definitions of “Five-Year Vessel” and “Non-Five-Year Vessel”.

The price of our common units is unpredictable and may be volatile.

The price of our common units may be volatile and may fluctuate due to factors including:

27

Table of Contents

Securities markets worldwide are experiencing price and volume fluctuations. The market price for our common units may also be volatile. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could reduce the market price of our common units despite our operating performance.

Common unitholders have limited voting rights, and our partnership agreement restricts the voting rights of unitholders owning more than 4.9% of our common units.

Unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, holders of common units have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business. We will hold a meeting of the limited partners every year to elect one or more members of our board of directors and to vote on any other matters that are properly brought before the meeting. Our general partner has appointed three of our five directors and the common unitholders elected the remaining two directors. Four of our directors meet the independence standards of the NYSE, and two of the four also qualify as independent of GasLog under our partnership agreement, so as to be eligible for membership on our conflicts committee. If our general partner exercises its right to transfer the power to elect a majority of our directors to the common unitholders, an additional director will thereafter be elected by our common unitholders. Our general partner may exercise this right in order to permit us to claim, or continue to claim, an exemption from U.S. federal income tax under Section 883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the “Code”. See “Item 4. Information on the Partnership—B. Business Overview—Taxation of the Partnership”.

The partnership agreement also contains provisions limiting the ability of common unitholders to call meetings or to acquire information about our operations, as well as other provisions limiting the common unitholders’ ability to influence the manner or direction of management. Unitholders have no right to elect our general partner, and our general partner may not be removed except by a vote of the holders of at least 66²/₃% of the outstanding common units, including any units owned by our general partner and its affiliates, voting together as a single class.

Our partnership agreement further restricts unitholders’ voting rights by providing that if any person or group owns beneficially more than 4.9% of any class or series of units (other than the Preference Units) then outstanding, any such units owned by that person or group in excess of 4.9% may not be voted on any matter and will not be considered to be outstanding when sending notices of a meeting of limited partners, calculating required votes (except for purposes of nominating a person for election to our board of directors), determining the presence of a quorum or for other similar purposes, unless required by law.

Effectively, this means that the voting rights of any common unitholders not entitled to vote on a specific matter will be redistributed pro rata among the other common unitholders. Our general partner, its affiliates and persons who acquired common units with the prior approval of our board of directors will not be subject to the 4.9% limitation, except with respect to voting their common units in the election of the elected directors.

GasLog and our general partner own a controlling interest in us and have conflicts of interest and limited fiduciary and contractual duties to us and our unitholders, which may permit them to favor their own interests to your detriment.

GasLog currently owns partnership units representing a 33.2% partnership interest, including a 2.0% general partner interest in us, and owns and controls our general partner. In addition, our general partner has the right to appoint three of five, or a majority, of our directors. Certain of our directors and officers are directors and officers of GasLog or its affiliates, and, as such, they have fiduciary duties to GasLog or its affiliates that may cause them to pursue business strategies that disproportionately benefit GasLog or its

28

Table of Contents

affiliates or which otherwise are not in the best interests of us or our unitholders. Conflicts of interest may arise between GasLog and its affiliates (including our general partner), on the one hand, and us and our unitholders, on the other hand. As a result of these conflicts, our general partner and its affiliates may favor their own interests over the interests of our unitholders. See “—Our partnership agreement limits our general partner’s and our directors’ fiduciary duties to our unitholders and restricts the remedies available to unitholders for actions taken by our general partner or our directors”. These conflicts include, among others, the following situations:

Even if our general partner relinquishes the power to elect one director to the common unitholders, so that they will elect a majority of our directors, our general partner will have substantial influence on decisions made by our board of directors. See “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions”.

The transaction proposed by GasLog may not occur, may increase the volatility of the market price of our common units and will result in certain costs and expenses.

On January 25, 2023, we announced that the Partnership’s board of directors received an unsolicited non-binding proposal from GasLog to acquire all of the outstanding common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership not already beneficially owned by GasLog. In connection with the proposed transaction, each common unit would receive overall value of $7.70 per common unit in cash, consisting in part of a special distribution by the Partnership of $2.33 per common unit in cash to be distributed to the Partnership’s unitholders immediately prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and the remainder to be paid by GasLog as merger consideration at the closing of the proposed transaction.

The Partnership’s board of directors has authorized its conflicts committee, consisting only of non-GasLog affiliated directors, to retain advisors and to review, evaluate, negotiate and accept or reject the proposed transaction. GasLog’s proposal is non-binding and is subject to the negotiation and execution of mutually acceptable definitive documentation. There can be no assurance that any definitive documentation will be executed or that any transaction will materialize.

29

Table of Contents

The market price of our common units may reflect various assumptions as to whether the proposed transaction with GasLog will occur. Variations in the market price of our common units may occur as a result of changing assumptions regarding the proposed transaction, independent of changes in our business, financial condition or prospects or changes in general market or economic conditions. As a result, a definitive agreement regarding a transaction, or a failure to reach a definitive agreement regarding a transaction, could result in a significant change in the market price of our common units.

We expect to incur costs in connection with the consideration of GasLog’s proposal, including costs of financial and legal advisors to the conflicts committee of our board of directors. Mergers such as the one proposed often attract litigation. If any litigation is commenced regarding the proposed transaction, the Partnership will be required to expend additional resources defending such litigation. It is difficult to estimate the aggregate amount of such costs, although they could be substantial. In addition, uncertainty associated with the potential transaction could adversely affect our ability to attract, retain and motivate key employees, which could have a negative effect on our operations and business plans.

Our officers are employed by GasLog and face conflicts in the allocation of their time to our business.

Our officers are all employed by GasLog or its applicable affiliate and are performing executive officer functions for us pursuant to the administrative services agreement. Our officers are not required to work full-time on our affairs and also perform services for affiliates of our general partner (including GasLog). As a result, there could be material competition for the time and effort of our officers who also provide services to our general partner’s affiliates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees”.

The Merger between GasLog and GEPIF, completed in June 2021, could create uncertainty over the future management and direction of the Partnership and could adversely impact the Partnership and our unitholders.

There could be disagreement among major shareholders of GasLog, including the Rolling Shareholders and GEPIF, with respect to the short- and long-term management, direction and strategy of the Partnership. GasLog has the right to appoint three of five, or a majority, of our directors and officers, therefore any such disagreements with respect to the Partnership’s strategic direction may have an adverse effect on our business, operations, financial results and unit price.

Furthermore, since GasLog completed its merger with GEPIF, GasLog has limited public reporting obligations, which could adversely impact our unitholders’ ability to assess the management and direction of the Partnership, which may have a negative effect on our unit price.

Our partnership agreement limits our general partner’s and our directors’ fiduciary duties to our unitholders and restricts the remedies available to unitholders for actions taken by our general partner or our directors.

Under the partnership agreement, our general partner has delegated to our board of directors the authority to oversee and direct our operations, management and policies on an exclusive basis, and such delegation will be binding on any successor general partner of the partnership. Our partnership agreement also contains provisions that reduce the standards to which our general partner and directors would otherwise be held by Marshall Islands law. For example, our partnership agreement:

30

Table of Contents

In order to become a limited partner of our partnership, a unitholder is required to agree to be bound by the provisions in the partnership agreement, including the provisions discussed above.

Fees and cost reimbursements, which GasLog or its applicable affiliate will determine for services provided to us and our subsidiaries, will be substantial, may be higher for future periods than reflected in our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, will be payable regardless of our profitability and will reduce our cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

Pursuant to the ship management agreements, our subsidiaries pay fees for technical and vessel management services provided to them by GasLog LNG Services and reimburse GasLog LNG Services for all expenses incurred on their behalf. These fees and expenses include all costs and expenses incurred in providing the crew and technical management of the vessels in our fleet to our subsidiaries. In addition, our operating subsidiaries pay GasLog LNG Services a fixed management fee for costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing these services to our operating subsidiaries.

Pursuant to an administrative services agreement, GasLog provides us with certain administrative services. We pay a fixed fee to GasLog for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the services under the administrative services agreement.

Pursuant to the commercial management agreements, GasLog LNG Services provides us with commercial management services for which we pay to GasLog a fixed commission of 1.25% on gross charter revenues in U.S. dollars for costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing services.

For a description of the ship management agreements, commercial management agreements and the administrative services agreement, see “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions”. The aggregate fees and expenses payable for services under the ship management agreements, commercial management agreements and administrative services agreement for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $6.5 million, $4.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively. Additionally, these fees and expenses will be payable without regard to our business, results of operation and financial condition. The payment of fees to and the reimbursement of expenses of GasLog or its applicable affiliate, including GasLog LNG Services, could adversely affect our ability to pay cash distributions to our unitholders.

Our partnership agreement contains provisions that may have the effect of discouraging a person or group from attempting to remove our current management or our general partner and, even if public unitholders are dissatisfied, it will be difficult for them to remove our general partner without GasLog’s consent, all of which could diminish the trading price of our common units and Preference Units.

Our partnership agreement contains provisions that may have the effect of discouraging a person or group from attempting to remove our current management or our general partner.

The effect of these provisions may be to diminish the price at which the common units and Preference Units will trade.

We may have difficulty obtaining consents that are necessary to acquire vessels with an existing charter or a financing agreement.

Under the omnibus agreement, we have certain options to acquire vessels with existing charters from GasLog. The omnibus agreement provides that our ability to consummate the acquisition of any such vessels from GasLog will be subject to obtaining all relevant consents including the consent of the existing charterers, lenders, governmental authorities and other non-affiliated third parties to those agreements. While GasLog will be obligated to use reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents, we cannot assure you that in any particular case the necessary consent will be obtained from the required parties.

We are a holding company and we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial obligations and to make distributions to unitholders.

We are a holding company. Our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets, including our ships. We have no significant assets other than the equity interests in our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to pay our obligations and to make distributions to unitholders depends entirely on our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of a subsidiary to make these distributions could be affected by a claim or other action by a third party, including a creditor, or by the law of its jurisdiction of incorporation which regulates the payment of distributions. If we are unable to obtain funds from our subsidiaries, our board of directors may exercise its discretion not to make distributions to unitholders.

The control of our general partner may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.

Our general partner may transfer its general partner interest to a third party in a merger or in a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the consent of the unitholders. In addition, our partnership agreement does not restrict the ability of the members of our general partner from transferring their respective membership interests in our general partner to a third party.

Substantial future sales of our common units in the public market could cause the price of our common units to fall.

We have granted registration rights to GasLog and certain of its affiliates. These unitholders have the right, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering any of our common or other equity securities owned by them or to include those securities in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other unitholders. As of February 28, 2023, GasLog

owns 15,621,602 common units and 1,245,000 Class B units (of which 415,000 are Class B-4 units, 415,000 are Class B-5 units and 415,000 are Class B-6 units). The Class B units will convert to common units at a rate of 415,000 per year between 2023 and 2025. Following their registration and sale under the applicable registration statement, those securities will become freely tradable. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of common units or other securities, these unitholders could cause the price of our common units to decline.

We may issue additional equity securities, including securities senior to the common units, without the approval of our common unitholders, which would dilute the ownership interests of the common unitholders.

We may, without the approval of our common unitholders, issue an unlimited number of additional units or other equity securities. In addition, we may issue an unlimited number of units that are senior to the common units in right of distribution, liquidation and voting. For example on June 30, 2019, we issued 2,532,911 common units and 2,490,000 Class B units to GasLog in exchange for GasLog’s incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”). Refer to “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

On May 16, 2017, the Partnership commenced its ATM Programme under which we may, from time to time, raise equity through the issuance and sale of new common units. Following an increase in the size of the ATM Programme completed on November 3, 2017, and again on February 26, 2019, we can issue up to $250.0 million in new common units. As of February 28, 2023 8,486,705 common units have been issued through the ATM Programme.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, there have been no common units issuances through the ATM Programme. Since the commencement of the ATM Programme through December 31, 2022, GasLog Partners has issued and received payment for a total of 8,486,705 common units, with cumulative gross proceeds of $133.6 million at a weighted average price of $15.75 per unit and net proceeds of $132.4 million, after deducting commissions. In connection with the issuance of common units under the ATM Programme during this period, the Partnership also issued 164,145 general partner units to its general partner. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partner units were $2.7 million. The issuance by us of additional common units or other equity securities of equal or senior rank will have the following effects:

The Preference Units are senior to the common units and as such receive priority over the common units in distributions and liquidation.

Our general partner has a limited call right that may require you to sell your common units at an undesirable time or price.

If at any time our general partner and its affiliates own more than 80% of the common units, our general partner will have the right, which it may assign to any of its affiliates or to us, but not the obligation, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the common units held by unaffiliated persons at a price not less than the then-current market price of our common units. Our general partner is not obligated to obtain a fairness opinion regarding the value of the common units to be repurchased by it upon the exercise of this limited call right. As a result, you may be required to sell your common units at an undesirable time or price and may not receive any return on your investment. You may also incur a tax liability upon a sale of your common units. GasLog, which owns and controls our general partner, owns 30.2% of our outstanding common units as of February 28, 2023.

You may not have limited liability if a court finds that unitholder action constitutes control of our business.

As a limited partner in a partnership organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, you could be held liable for our obligations to the same extent as a general partner if you participate in the “control” of our business. Our general partner generally has unlimited liability for the obligations of the partnership, such as its debts and environmental liabilities, except for those contractual obligations of the partnership that are expressly made without recourse to our general partner. In addition, the limitations on the liability of holders of limited partner interests for the obligations of a limited partnership have not been clearly established in some jurisdictions in which we do business.

We can borrow money to pay distributions, which would reduce the amount of credit available to operate our business.

Our partnership agreement allows us to make working capital borrowings to pay distributions.Accordingly, if we have available borrowing capacity, we can make distributions on all our units even though cash generated by our operations may not be sufficient to pay such distributions. Any working capital borrowings by us to make distributions will reduce the amount of working capital borrowings we can make for operating our business. For more information, see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Credit Facilities”.

Increases in interest rates may cause the market price of our common units to decline.

An increase in interest rates may cause a corresponding decline in demand for equity investments in general, and in particular for yield-based equity investments such as our common units. Any such increase in interest rates or reduction in demand for our common units resulting from other relatively more attractive investment opportunities may cause the trading price of our common units to decline.

We are a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States and the NYSE rules, and as such we are entitled to exemption from certain NYSE corporate governance standards, and you may not have the same protections afforded to unitholders of similarly organized limited partnerships that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

We are a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of the NYSE. Under the securities laws of the United States, “foreign private issuers” are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled registrants, as well as different financial reporting requirements. Under the NYSE rules, a “foreign private issuer” is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of the NYSE permit a “foreign private issuer” to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE, including (i) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors and (ii) the requirement that a compensation committee to a nominating/corporate governance committee can be established.

Accordingly, in the future you may not have the same protections afforded to unitholders of similarly organized limited partnerships that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

We have been organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of partnership law.

We are a partnership formed in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of case law or bankruptcy law and, as a result, unitholders have fewer rights and protections under Marshall Islands law than under a typical jurisdiction in the United States. As such, in the case of a bankruptcy of the Partnership, there may be a delay of bankruptcy proceedings and the ability of unitholders and creditors to receive recovery after a bankruptcy proceeding. Our partnership affairs are governed by our partnership agreement and by the Marshall Islands Act. The provisions of the Marshall Islands Act resemble provisions of the limited partnership laws of a number of states in the United States, most notably Delaware. The Marshall Islands Act also provides that it is to be applied and construed to make it uniform with the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act and, so long as it does not conflict with the Marshall Islands Act or decisions of the Marshall Islands courts, interpreted according to the non-statutory law (or case law) of the State of Delaware. There have been, however, few, if any, court cases in the Marshall Islands interpreting the Marshall Islands Act, in contrast to Delaware, which has a well-developed body of case law interpreting its limited partnership statute. Accordingly, we cannot predict whether Marshall Islands courts would reach the same conclusions as the courts in Delaware. For example, the rights of our unitholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our general partner under Marshall Islands law are not as clearly established as under judicial precedent in existence in Delaware. As a result, unitholders may have more

34

Table of Contents

difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by our general partner and its officers and directors than would unitholders of a similarly organized limited partnership in the United States.

Because we are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, it may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against us, our directors or our management.

We are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, our general partner is a Marshall Islands limited liability company, our directors and officers generally are or will be non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States if you believe that your rights have been infringed under securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Marshall Islands and of other jurisdictions may prevent or restrict you from enforcing a judgment against our assets or the assets of our general partner or our directors or officers.

Our partnership agreement designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum, unless otherwise provided for by Marshall Islands law, for certain litigation that may be initiated by our unitholders, which could limit our unitholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with our general partner.

Our partnership agreement provides that, unless otherwise provided for by Marshall Islands law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any claims that:

Risks Related to our Preference Units

Unitholders may have liability to repay distributions.

Under some circumstances, unitholders may have to repay amounts wrongfully returned or distributed to them. Under the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act, or the “Marshall Islands Act”, we may not make a distribution to you if the distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets. Marshall Islands law provides that for a period of three years from the date of the impermissible distribution, limited partners who received the distribution and who knew at the time of the distribution that it violated Marshall Islands law will be liable to the limited partnership for the distribution amount. Assignees who become substituted limited partners are liable for the obligations of the assignor to make contributions to the partnership that are known to the assignee at the time it became a limited partner and for unknown obligations if the liabilities could be determined from the partnership agreement. Liabilities to partners on account of their partnership interest and liabilities that are non-recourse to the partnership are not counted for purposes of determining whether a distribution is permitted.

Our Preference Units are subordinated to our debt obligations and investors’ interests could be diluted by the issuance of additional preference units and by other transactions.

Our Preference Units are subordinated to all of our existing and future indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate of $921.9 million of outstanding indebtedness under our credit facilities. As of December 31, 2022, we also had an aggregate of $62.6 million of lease liabilities mainly related to the sale and leaseback of the GasLog Shanghai and the Methane Heather Sally. Our existing indebtedness restricts, and our future indebtedness may include restrictions on, our ability to pay distributions to unitholders. Our partnership agreement authorizes the issue of an unlimited number of preference units in one or more class of units. The issuance of additional preference units on a parity with or senior to our Preference Units would dilute the interests of the holders of our Preference Units, and any issuance of preference units senior to or on a parity with our Preference Units or of additional indebtedness could affect our ability to pay distributions on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on our Preference Units. No provisions relating to our Preference Units protect the holders of our Preference Units in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction, including the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all our assets or business, which might adversely affect the holders of our Preference Units.

Each series of our Preference Units ranks pari passu with any other class or series of units established after the original issue date of such series that is not expressly subordinated or senior to the Preference Units as to the payment of distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation or reorganization. If less than all distributions payable with respect to a series of Preference Units and any parity securities are paid, any partial payment shall be made pro rata with respect to such Preference Units and any parity securities entitled to a distribution payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate amounts remaining due in respect of such units at such time.

Holders of our Preference Units have extremely limited voting rights.

Holders of the Preference Units generally have no voting rights. However, if and whenever distributions payable on a series of Preference Units are in arrears for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive, holders of such series of Preference Units (voting together as a class with all other classes or series of parity securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable) will be entitled to elect one additional director to serve on our board of directors, and the size of our board of directors will be increased as needed to accommodate such change (unless the size of our board of directors already has been increased by reason of the election of a director by holders of parity securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and with which the Preference Units voted as a class for the election of such director). The right of such holders of Preference Units to elect a member of our board of directors will continue until such time as all accumulated and unpaid distributions on the applicable series of Preference Units have been paid in full.

The Preference Units represent perpetual equity interests and holders have no right to receive any greater payment than the liquidation preference regardless of the circumstances.

The Preference Units represent perpetual equity interests in us and, unlike our indebtedness, will not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. As a result, holders of the Preference Units may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Preference Units for an indefinite period of time. In addition, the Preference Units rank junior to all our indebtedness and other liabilities, and any other senior securities we may issue in the future with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against us.

The payment due to a holder of any of our Series A Preference Units, Series B Preference Units or Series C Preference Units upon a liquidation is fixed at the redemption preference of $25.00 per unit plus accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of liquidation. If, in the case of our liquidation, there are remaining assets to be distributed after payment of this amount, holders of Preference Units will have no right to receive or to participate in these amounts. Furthermore, if the market price for Preference Units is greater than the liquidation preference, holders of Preference Units will have no right to receive the market price from us upon our liquidation.

The Preference Units have not been rated, and ratings of any other of our securities may affect the trading price of the Preference Units.

We have not sought to obtain a rating for any series of Preference Units, and the units may never be rated. It is possible, however, that one or more rating agencies might independently determine to assign a rating to the Series A, Series B or Series C Preference

36

Table of Contents

Units or that we may elect to obtain a rating of our Series A, Series B or Series C Preference Units in the future. In addition, we may elect to issue other securities for which we may seek to obtain a rating. If any ratings are assigned to a series of Preference Units in the future or if we issue other securities with a rating, such ratings, if they are lower than market expectations or are subsequently lowered or withdrawn, or if ratings for such other securities would imply a lower relative value for the Preference Units, could adversely affect the market for, or the market value of, the Preference Units. Ratings only reflect the views of the issuing rating agency or agencies and such ratings could at any time be revised downward or withdrawn entirely at the discretion of the issuing rating agency. A rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any particular security, including the Preference Units. Ratings do not reflect market prices or suitability of a security for a particular investor and any future rating of either the Series A, Series B or Series C Preference Units may not reflect all risks related to us and our business, or the structure or market value of the Preference Units.

Market interest rates may adversely affect the value of our Preference Units.

One of the factors that will influence the price of our Preference Units will be the distribution yield on the Preference Units (as a percentage of the price of our Series A, Series B or Series C Preference Units, as applicable) relative to market interest rates. In response to high levels of inflation, interest rates rose globally in 2022 and may be sustained or increase further in 2023. An increase in market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of our Preference Units to expect higher distribution yields, and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distributions. Accordingly, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our Preference Units to decrease.

The Preference Units are redeemable at our option.

We may, at our option, redeem all or, from time to time, part of the Series A Preference Units on or after June 15, 2027, the Series B Preference Units on or after March 15, 2023 or the Series C Preference Units on or after March 15, 2024. If we redeem Series A, Series B or Series C Preference Units, redeemed unitholders will be entitled to receive a redemption price equal to $25.00 per unit plus accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption. We may elect to exercise our partial redemption right on multiple occasions.

Fluctuations in interest rates and the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR after June 30, 2023 may adversely affect the value of and return on our Preference Units.

The distribution rates for the Series B Preference Units and the Series C Preference Units will be determined based on three-month LIBOR, from and including March 15, 2023 and March 15, 2024, respectively. The distribution rate for the Series A Preference Units will be determined based on three- month LIBOR from and including June 15, 2027. In the past, the level of three-month LIBOR has experienced significant fluctuations. Historical levels, fluctuations and trends of three-month LIBOR are not necessarily indicative of future levels. Any historical upward or downward trend in three-month LIBOR is not an indication that three-month LIBOR is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the floating rate period for a series of Preference Units, and you should not take the historical levels of three-month LIBOR as an indication of its future performance. Although the actual three-month LIBOR on a distribution payment date or at other times during a distribution period with respect to a series of Preference Units may be higher than the three-month LIBOR on the applicable distribution determination date for such series, you will not benefit from the three-month LIBOR at any time other than on the distribution determination date for such distribution period. As a result, changes in the three-month LIBOR may not result in a comparable change in the market value of the Series B Preference Units on or after March 15, 2023, the Series C Preference Units on or after March 15, 2024 or the Series A Preference Units on or after June 15, 2027.

Upon discontinuance of the LIBOR base rate, the appointed calculation agent will use a substitute or successor base rate that it has determined in its discretion, after consultation with the Partnership, and which is most comparable to the LIBOR base rate. This may result in distribution payments differing from expectations and could materially affect the value of such Preference Units.

Tax Risks

In addition to the following risk factors, you should read “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Tax Considerations” for a more complete discussion of the expected material U.S. federal and non-U.S. income tax considerations relating to us and the ownership and disposition of our common units and Preference Units.

Table of Contents

We may be subject to taxes, which may reduce our cash available for distribution to you.

We and our subsidiaries may be subject to tax in the jurisdictions in which we are organized or operate, reducing the amount of cash available for distribution. In computing our tax obligation in these jurisdictions, we are required to take various tax accounting and reporting positions on matters that are not entirely free from doubt and for which we have not received rulings from the governing authorities. We cannot assure you that upon review of these positions the applicable authorities will agree with our positions. A successful challenge by a tax authority could result in additional tax imposed on us or our subsidiaries, further reducing the cash available for distribution. In addition, changes in our operations or ownership could result in additional tax being imposed on us or our subsidiaries in jurisdictions in which operations are conducted. See “Item 4. Information on the Partnership—B. Business Overview—Taxation of the Partnership”.

U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a “passive foreign investment company” under certain circumstances, which would have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. unitholders.

A non-U.S. entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company”, or “PFIC”, for U.S. federal income tax purposes if at least 75.0% of its gross income for any tax year consists of “passive income” or at least 50.0% of the average value of its assets produce, or are held for the production of, “passive income”. For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties that are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income”. U.S. unitholders of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous U.S. federal income tax regime with respect to the income derived by the PFIC, the distributions they receive from the PFIC, and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their interests in the PFIC.

Based on our past, current and projected methods of operation, and an opinion of our U.S. counsel, Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, we believe that we will not be a PFIC for our current tax year and we expect that we will not be treated as a PFIC for any future tax year. We have received opinions of our U.S. counsel in support of this position that conclude that the income our subsidiaries earn from certain of our time-chartering activities should not constitute passive income for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC. In addition, we have represented to our U.S. counsel that more than 25.0% of our gross income for each of our previous years arose and that we expect that more than 25.0% of our gross income for our current and each future year will arise from such time-chartering activities, and more than 50.0% of the average value of our assets for each such year was or will be held for the production of such non-passive income. Assuming the composition of our income and assets is consistent with these expectations, and assuming the accuracy of other representations we have made to our U.S. counsel for purposes of their opinion, our U.S. counsel is of the opinion that we should not be a PFIC for our current tax year or any future year. This opinion is based and its accuracy is conditioned on representations, valuations and projections provided by us regarding our assets, income and charters to our U.S. counsel. While we believe these representations, valuations and projections to be accurate, the shipping market is volatile and no assurance can be given that they will continue to be accurate at any time in the future.

Moreover, there are legal uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived from time-chartering activities constitutes rental income or income derived from the performance of services. In Tidewater Inc. v. United States, 565 F.3d 299 (5^th Cir. 2009), the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, or the “Fifth Circuit”, held that income derived from certain time-chartering activities should be treated as rental income rather than services income for purposes of a provision of the Code relating to foreign sales corporations. In that case, the Fifth Circuit did not address the definition of passive income or the PFIC rules; however, the reasoning of the case could have implications as to how the income from a time charter would be classified under such rules. If the reasoning of this case were extended to the PFIC context, the gross income we derive or are deemed to derive from our time-chartering activities may be treated as rental income, and we would likely be treated as a PFIC. In published guidance, the Internal Revenue Service, or “IRS”, stated that it disagreed with the holding in Tidewater, and specified that time charters similar to those at issue in the case should be treated as service contracts. We have not sought, and we do not expect to seek, an IRS ruling on the treatment of income generated from our time-chartering activities, and the opinion of our counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court. As a result, the IRS or a court could disagree with our position. No assurance can be given that this result will not occur. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner to avoid, to the extent possible, being classified as a PFIC with respect to any tax year, we cannot assure you that the nature of our operations will not change in the future, or that we will not be a PFIC in the future. If the IRS were to find that we are or have been a PFIC for any tax year (and regardless of whether we remain a PFIC for any subsequent tax year), our U.S. unitholders would face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. See “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Tax Considerations—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S.

Holders—PFIC Status and Significant Tax Consequences” for a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. unitholders if we are treated as a PFIC.

We may have to pay tax on U.S.-source income, which will reduce our cash flow.

Under the Code, the U.S. source gross transportation income of a ship-owning or chartering corporation, such as ourselves, is subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax without allowance for deduction, unless that corporation qualifies for exemption from tax under a tax treaty or Section 883 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. U.S. source gross transportation income consists of 50% of the gross shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States.

We do not expect to qualify for an exemption from such U.S. federal income tax under a tax treaty nor do we expect to qualify for the exemption under Section 883 of the Code during the 2022 tax year, unless our general partner exercises the “GasLog option” described in “Item 4. Information on the Partnership—B. Business Overview—Taxation of the Partnership—U.S. Taxation of Shipping”. Even if we do not qualify for such an exemption, we do not currently expect any resulting U.S. federal income tax liability to be material or materially reduce the earnings available for distribution to our unitholders. For 2022, the U.S. source gross transportation tax was $1.5 million. For a more detailed discussion, see the section entitled “Item 4. Information on the Partnership—B. Business Overview—Taxation of the Partnership—United States”.

You may be subject to income tax in one or more non-U.S. jurisdictions as a result of owning our common units or Preference Units if, under the laws of any such jurisdiction, we are considered to be carrying on business there. Such laws may require you to file a tax return with, and pay taxes to, those jurisdictions.

We intend to conduct our affairs and cause each of our subsidiaries to operate its business in a manner that minimizes income taxes imposed upon us and our subsidiaries. Furthermore, we intend to conduct our affairs and cause each of our subsidiaries to operate its business in a manner that minimizes the risk that unitholders may be treated as having a permanent establishment or tax presence in a jurisdiction where we or our subsidiaries conduct activities simply by virtue of their ownership of our common units or Preference Units. However, because we are organized as a partnership, there is a risk in some jurisdictions that our activities or the activities of our subsidiaries may rise to the level of a tax presence that is attributed to our unitholders for tax purposes. If you are attributed such a tax presence in a jurisdiction, you may be required to file a tax return with, and to pay tax in, that jurisdiction based on your allocable share of our income. In addition, we may be required to obtain information from you in the event a tax authority requires such information to submit a tax return. We may be required to reduce distributions to you on account of any tax withholding obligations imposed upon us by that jurisdiction in respect of such allocation to you. The United States may not allow a tax credit for any foreign income taxes that you directly or indirectly incur by virtue of an investment in us.

On May 12, 2014, we completed our IPO and our common units began trading on the NYSE on May 7, 2014 under the ticker symbol “GLOP”. A portion of the proceeds of our IPO was paid as partial consideration for GasLog’s contribution to us of the interests in its subsidiaries which owned the GasLog Shanghai, the GasLog Santiago and the GasLog Sydney. Since the IPO we have completed additional equity offerings as set forth below, the proceeds of which have been used (i) to partially fund the acquisition of GasLog vessel owning subsidiaries, (ii) to pay down debt or (iii) for general corporate purposes:

B.Business Overview

Overview

Since our IPO in May 2014, we have been an owner, operator and acquirer of LNG carriers. The Partnership’s fleet consists of 12 wholly owned LNG carriers, nine vessels with modern TFDE propulsion technology and three Steam vessels. In addition, GasLog Partners has leased back under two bareboat charters (a) for a period of five years one TFDE vessel sold to CBDL in October 2021 and (b) until the middle of 2025 one Steam vessel sold to another unrelated party in October 2022.

On February 6, 2020, in light of reduced expectations for Steam vessel utilization and earnings due to these risks, we announced that GasLog Partners will focus its capital allocation on debt repayment and prioritizing balance sheet strength. The Partnership reduced its quarterly common unit distribution to $0.125 per unit for the first quarter of 2020, from $0.561 per unit for the fourth quarter of 2019 and then further decreased its quarterly common unit distribution to $0.01 per unit for the third quarter of 2020 onwards. Today, our capital allocation strategy remains unchanged with a focus on balance sheet strength, deleveraging, reducing the all-in- break-even rates in our fleet and repurchasing our Preference Units on an opportunistic basis in the open market. In addition, as part of our capital allocation priorities we have set leverage targets to monitor our performance. While we have reduced our leverage

40

in recent years, we have not yet achieved those targets and there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to reduce leverage in order to meet those targets.

All of our vessels were contributed to us by, or acquired by us from, GasLog, which controls us through its ownership of our general partner. All vessels have fixed charter terms expiring between April 2023 and March 2029. Five of our vessels currently operate under long-term time charters (defined as charters with initial duration of more than three years) and nine vessels trade in the short-term spot market (defined as vessels under contracts with initial duration of less than three years). On redelivery, if the charterers do not exercise any extension option, the vessels will operate in the short-term spot market unless we are able to secure new long-term time charters.

Since the formation of the Partnership and the contribution of the three initial vessels in our fleet, we have grown our fleet and our cash flows through the acquisition from GasLog of vessels with multi-year charters. However, as a result of the significant challenges facing the listed midstream energy MLP industry, our cost of equity capital has remained elevated for a prolonged period, making the funding of new acquisitions challenging. As a result, while we do have options and other rights under which we may acquire additional LNG carriers from GasLog and which provide us with significant built-in growth opportunities as described below, our high cost of capital is not currently conducive to the funding of such acquisitions on acceptable terms.

We believe that the actions taken to prioritize balance sheet strength, deleveraging and lowering our cash break-evens, combined with our priority to balance our overall debt leverage in the Company compared to our increased operational leverage through the higher spot exposure, will strengthen our balance sheet over time. As a result, we believe we will be able to position the Partnership to take advantage of growth opportunities in the future, assuming we will be able to raise new debt or equity capital on acceptable terms in the future. For further discussion of the risks that we face in growing our assets and cash flows, please read “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors”.

GasLog is, we believe, a leading independent international owner, operator and manager of LNG carriers which provides support to international energy companies as part of their LNG logistics chain. GasLog was founded by its chairman, Peter G. Livanos, whose family’s shipping activities commenced more than 100 years ago. On April 4, 2012, GasLog completed its initial public offering, and its common shares began trading on the NYSE on March 30, 2012 under the ticker symbol “GLOG”. As of February 28, 2023, GasLog’s wholly owned and bareboat fleet includes 24 LNG carriers, including 19 ships on the water, four LNG carriers on order from DSME and one vessel undergoing conversion into an FSRU, as well as a 33.2% ownership in the Partnership. See “—Our Fleet”.

On February 22, 2021, GasLog announced that it had entered into a Merger Agreement with GEPIF. Under the Merger Agreement, GEPIF would acquire all of the outstanding common shares of GasLog that are not held by the Rolling Shareholders of GasLog in exchange for $5.80 in cash per common share. On June 9, 2021, GasLog announced the completion of the Transaction with GEPIF following the special general meeting of GasLog’s shareholders held virtually on June 4, 2021, where the Transaction and the related agreements (i) the previously announced Merger Agreement, (ii) the merger and (iii) the statutory merger agreement contemplated by the Merger Agreement, received the requisite approval of GasLog’s shareholders required by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 21, 2021 (and subsequently amended on April 20, 2021). Trading in GasLog’s common shares on the NYSE, was suspended with immediate effect and the delisting of the common shares from the NYSE became effective on June 21, 2021. GasLog’s 8.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares remain outstanding and continue to trade on NYSE. Following the consummation of the Transaction on June 9, 2021, certain existing shareholders, including Blenheim Holdings, which is wholly owned by the Livanos family, and a wholly owned affiliate of the Onassis Foundation, hold approximately 55.2% of the outstanding common shares of GasLog Ltd. and GEPIF holds approximately 44.8%.

On October 26, 2021, we completed the sale and leaseback of the GasLog Shanghai, a 155,000 cbm TFDE LNG carrier built in 2013 with a wholly owned subsidiary of CDBL. The vessel was sold and leased back under a bareboat charter with CDBL for a period of five years with no repurchase option or obligation.

On September 14, 2022, we completed the sale of the Methane Shirley Elisabeth, a 145,000 cbm Steam LNG carrier built in 2007, to an unrelated third party.

Οn October 31, 2022, we completed the sale and leaseback of the Methane Heather Sally, a 145,000 cbm Steam LNG carrier built in 2007. The vessel was sold to an unrelated third party and leased back under a bareboat charter until the middle of 2025 with no repurchase option or obligation.

On January 24, 2023, the Partnership’s board of directors received an unsolicited non-binding proposal from GasLog to acquire all of the outstanding common units representing limited partner interests of the Partnership not already beneficially owned by GasLog. In connection with the proposed transaction, each common unit would receive overall value of $7.70 per common unit in cash, consisting in part of a special distribution by the Partnership of $2.33 per common unit in cash to be distributed to the Partnership’s unitholders immediately prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and the remainder to be paid by GasLog as merger consideration at the closing of the proposed transaction.

The Partnership’s board of directors has authorized its conflicts committee, consisting only of non-GasLog affiliated directors, to retain advisors and to review, evaluate, negotiate and accept or reject the proposed transaction. GasLog’s proposal is non-binding and is subject to the negotiation and execution of mutually acceptable definitive documentation. There can be no assurance that any definitive documentation will be executed or that any transaction will materialize.

In March 2023, the board of directors of GasLog Partners approved management’s recommendation to proceed with the sale and leaseback of the GasLog Sydney, a 155,000 cbm TFDE LNG carrier built in 2013, with CDBL for a period of five years under a bareboat charter with no purchase option or obligation, but including a profit share mechanism. The completion of the sale and leaseback is subject to the signing of final documentation with CDBL.

Our subsidiary, GAS-seventeen Ltd., owner of Methane Jane Elizabeth, is currently in advanced stages of negotiations with Venice for the provision of an FSRU to be deployed at Outer Harbor in Adelaide, South Australia. Subject to final agreement of the charter terms and the satisfaction of customary conditions precedent including the project taking Final Investment Decision (“FID”), the Methane Jane Elizabeth will undergo modifications and conversion to an FSRU and is expected to be delivered to Venice no later than the fourth quarter of 2025 for a ten-year time charter.

Additional Vessels

Five-Year Vessel Business Opportunities

GasLog has agreed, and has caused its controlled affiliates (other than us, our general partner and our subsidiaries) to agree, not to acquire, own, operate or charter any LNG carrier with a cargo capacity greater than 75,000 cbm engaged in oceangoing LNG transportation under a charter for five full years or more without, within 30 calendar days after the consummation of the acquisition or

Table of Contents

the commencement of the operations or charter of such a vessel, notifying us and offering us the opportunity to purchase such vessel at fair market value. We refer to these vessels, together with any related charters, as “Five-Year Vessels”.

See “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions— Omnibus Agreement—Noncompetition” for additional information on the LNG carrier purchase options.

Rights of First Offer

In addition, under the omnibus agreement, we will have a right of first offer with regard to any proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any LNG carriers with cargo capacities greater than 75,000 cbm engaged in oceangoing LNG transportation under a charter of five full years or more that GasLog owns, as discussed elsewhere in this annual report.

Vessel Acquisition Considerations

We are not obligated to purchase any of the vessels from GasLog described in the previous sections and, accordingly, we may not complete the purchase of any such vessels. Furthermore, our ability to purchase any additional vessels, including under the omnibus agreement from GasLog, is dependent on our ability to obtain financing to fund all or a portion of the acquisition costs of these vessels. Our ability to acquire additional vessels from GasLog is also subject to obtaining any applicable consents of governmental authorities and other non-affiliated third parties, including the relevant lenders and charterers. Under the omnibus agreement, GasLog will be obligated to use reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents. We cannot assure you that in any particular case the necessary consent will be obtained. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Inherent in Our Business” for a discussion of the risks we face in acquiring vessels. See also “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions—Omnibus Agreement”.

Ship Time Charters

We provide the services of all of our ships under time charters. A time charter is a contract for the use of the ship for a specified term at a daily hire rate. Under a time charter, the ship owner provides crewing and other services related to the ship’s operation, the cost of which is covered by the hire rate, and the customer is responsible for substantially all of the ship voyage costs (including bunker fuel, port charges and canal fees and LNG boil-off).

Our time charters provide for redelivery of the ship to us at the expiration of the term, as such term may be extended upon the charterer’s exercise of its extension options, or upon earlier termination of the charter (as described below), plus (or in some cases) minus a specified number of days. Our charter contracts do not provide the charterers with options to purchase our ships during or upon expiration of the charter term.

The following discussion describes the material terms of the time charters for our fleet.

Initial Term, Extensions and Redelivery

Long-term Market (defined as vessels with charter parties with initial duration of more than three years)

The initial terms of the time charters for the GasLog Greece, the GasLog Glasgow, the GasLog Geneva and the GasLog Gibraltar began upon delivery of the ships and will terminate in 2026, 2026, 2023 and 2023, respectively. For the GasLog Greece and the GasLog Glasgow, MSL has the option to extend the term of the charters for five years and, for the GasLog Geneva and the GasLog Gibraltar, MSL has the option to extend the term of the charters by two additional periods of five and three years, respectively. Each charter requires that the charterer provide the owner with advance notice of its exercise of any extension option.

The initial term of the time charter for the Methane Becki Anne began upon its acquisition by GasLog in 2015 and will terminate in 2029 following the declaration of the five-year option charter period by MSL. There are no other options remaining.

Short-term Spot Market (defined as vessels with charter parties with initial duration of less than three years)

44

Table of Contents

The term of the time charter of the GasLog Santiago began on its delivery to Trafigura in August 2018 and will terminate in December 2023 following Trafigura’s exercising of the second optional period of one further year. Trafigura retains the option to further extend the term of the time charter for five years at a specified rate.

The GasLog Sydney commenced an 11-month charter with Naturgy in May 2022 which will terminate in April 2023.

The Solaris, following a series of successful spot fixtures after the vessel’s redelivery from the initial long-term charter with Shell in May 2022, commenced a one-year charter with an Energy Major which will terminate in October 2023.

The initial time charter for the Methane Jane Elizabeth to Cheniere began in December 2020 and the charter will terminate in March 2024 following the charterer’s exercise of the first option period for one year. Cheniere has the option to extend the term of this charter by an additional option period of one year at a specified rate.

The GasLog Shanghai commenced a two-year charter with Woodside which begun in February 2023 and will terminate after two years. Woodside has the option to extend the charter period by one year, provided that the charterer gives advance notice. The vessel is owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of CDBL and leased back to GasLog Partners.

The Methane Alison Victoria commenced a three-year time charter with CNTIC Vpower in October 2020 and the charter will terminate in October 2023. CNTIC Vpower has the option to extend the term of the charter by two additional periods of one year, provided that the charterer gives advance notice.

The Methane Heather Sally commenced a three-year charter with a SEA charterer in August 2022 and will terminate in July 2025.

The Methane Rita Andrea commenced a one-year time charter with an Energy Major which will terminate in October 2023.

The GasLog Seattle commenced a multi-month charter with a major trading house which will terminate in March 2023. The GasLog Seattle will then commence a back-to-back charter with the above for a one-year time charter with a Swiss-headquartered energy trading company which will terminate in March 2024.

Hire Rate Provisions

“Hire rate” refers to the basic payment from the customer for use of the ship. Under all of our time charters, the hire rate is payable to us monthly in advance in U.S. dollars.

The hire rates provided for under the time charters of our ships include only one component that is a fixed daily amount that may increase during any option period.

The hire rates for each of our ships may be reduced if the ship does not perform to certain of its specifications or if we breach our obligations under the charter.

Off-Hire

When a ship is “off-hire”—or not available for service—a time charterer generally is not required to pay the hire rate, and we remain responsible for all costs, including the cost of any LNG cargo lost as boil-off during such off-hire periods. The vast majority of our time charters provide an annual allowance period for us to schedule preventative maintenance work on the ships, whilst for the spot ships we take advantage of (any) period between charters to perform the required maintenance. Our ships are maintained to the highest standards in accordance with the maker’s maintenance schedule. A ship generally will be deemed off-hire under our time charters if there is a specified time outside of the annual allowance period when the ship is not available for the charterer’s use due to, among other things, operational deficiencies (including the failure to maintain a certain guaranteed speed), dry-docking for repairs, maintenance or inspection, equipment breakdowns, deficiency of personnel or neglect of duty by the ship’s officers or crew, deviation from course, or delays due to accidents, quarantines, ship detentions or similar problems.

All ships are dry-docked at least once every five years for a special survey as required by the ship’s classification society. Ships are considered to be on a scheduled off-hire under our time charters during such periods.

Table of Contents

Ship Management and Maintenance

Under our time charters, we are responsible for the technical management of the majority of our ships. Technical management includes the engagement and provision of qualified crews, employment of armed guards for transport in certain high-risk areas, maintaining the ship, arranging supply of stores and equipment, cleaning and painting and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, including licensing and certification requirements, as well as for dry-docking expenses. We provide these management services through technical management agreements with GasLog LNG Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog. See “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions—Ship Management Agreements”.

Termination and Cancellation

Under our existing time charters, each party has certain termination rights which include, among other things, the automatic termination of a charter upon loss of the relevant ship. Either party may elect to terminate a charter upon the occurrence of specified defaults or upon the outbreak of war or hostilities involving two or more major nations, such as the United States or the People’s Republic of China, if such war or hostilities materially and adversely affect the trading of the ship for a period of at least 30 days. In addition, charterers have the option to terminate a charter if the relevant ship is off-hire for any reason other than scheduled dry-docking. The number of off-hire days which trigger this option varies dependent on the terms of the individual charter parties.

The Bareboat Charters

On October 26, 2021, GasLog Partners’ subsidiary, GAS-three Ltd., completed the sale and leaseback of the GasLog Shanghai with CDBL. The vessel was sold and leased back under a bareboat charter for a period of five years, with no repurchase option or obligation. The vessel remained on its charter with Clearlake Shipping Pte. Ltd. a wholly owned subsidiary of Gunvor Group Ltd. until January 2023.

On October 31, 2022, GasLog Partners’ subsidiary, GAS-twenty one Ltd., completed the sale and leaseback of the Methane Heather Sally with an unrelated party. The vessel was sold and leased back under a bareboat charter until the middle of 2025, with no repurchase option or obligation. The vessel remains on its charter with a SEA charterer.

Competition

We operate in markets that are highly competitive and based primarily on supply and demand. Generally, competition for LNG time charters is based primarily on charter party terms including price, ship availability, size, age, technical specifications and condition, LNG shipping experience, quality and efficiency of ship operations including level of emissions, shipping industry relationships and reputation for customer service, and technical ability and reputation for operation of highly specialized ships. Nine of our vessels (four Steam and five TFDE) operate in the spot charter market that covers short-term charters of less than three years. In the future, more of our vessels may operate in the more volatile spot charter market.

Although we believe that the GasLog Group is one of a small number of large independent owners who focus primarily on newly-built, technically advanced LNG carriers, a growing number of other independent shipping companies also own and operate, and in some cases manage, LNG carriers and have new ships under construction. Several of these other ship owners and managers have decided to enter, or to expand their presence in, the LNG market with newbuilding vessels over the last year, and potentially others may also attempt to participate in the LNG market in the future.

In addition to independent owners, some of the major oil and gas producers own LNG carriers and, in the recent past, they have contracted for the construction of new LNG carriers. Certain national oil and gas and shipping companies also have large fleets of LNG carriers that have expanded and may continue to expand. Some of these companies, as well as other market participants such as trading companies who have LNG shipping capacity contracted on multi-year charters, may compete with independent owners by using their fleets to carry LNG for third parties.

Seagoing and Shore-Based Employees

We do not directly employ any on-shore or seagoing employees. The services of our executive officers and other employees are provided pursuant to the administrative services agreement, under which we pay an annual fee. As of December 31, 2022, GasLog employed (directly and through manning agents) approximately 2,204 seafaring staff who serve on GasLog’s owned and managed

46

Table of Contents

vessels (including our fleet) as well as an average of 152 shore-based staff during 2022. GasLog and its affiliates may employ additional staff to assist us as we grow. GasLog, through certain of its subsidiaries, provides onshore advisory, commercial, technical and operational support to our operating subsidiaries pursuant to the amended ship management agreements, subject to any alternative arrangements made with the applicable charterer. See “Item 7. Major Unitholders and Related Party Transactions—B. Related Party Transactions—Ship Management Agreements”.

LNG marine transportation is a specialized area requiring technically skilled officers and personnel with specialized training. For GasLog, attracting and retaining motivated, well-qualified seagoing and shore-based personnel is a top priority, and it offers competitive compensation packages and training and development opportunities. Through applied ESG strategy, GasLog is constantly aiming to improve the diversity, equity and inclusion of its workforce and management team, granting access and engagement to a wide pool of talent. In addition, GasLog provides intensive onboard training for officers and crews intended to instill a culture focused on the highest operational and safety standards. As a result, GasLog has historically enjoyed high retention rates. In 2022, the retention rate was 96.1% for senior seagoing officers, 95.9% for other seagoing officers and 95.4% for shore staff.

Although GasLog has historically experienced high employee retention rates, the demand for technically skilled officers and crews to serve on LNG carriers and FSRUs has been increasing as the global fleet of LNG carriers and FSRUs continues to grow. This increased demand has, and may continue, to put inflationary cost pressure on ensuring qualified and well trained crew are available to GasLog. However, we and GasLog expect that the impact of cost increases and increased competition would be mitigated to some extent by the continuous evolution and adjustment of the GasLog salary and benefit structure and by certain provisions in our time charters, including automatic periodic adjustment and cost review provisions.

Classification, Inspection and Maintenance

Every large, commercial seagoing ship must be “classed” by a classification society. The classification society certifies that the ship is “in class”, signifying that the ship has been built and subsequently maintained in accordance with the rules of the classification society and complies with applicable rules and regulations of the ship’s country of registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. In addition, where surveys are required by international conventions and corresponding laws and ordinances of a flag state, the classification society will undertake them on application or by official order, acting on behalf of the authorities concerned. The classification society also undertakes on request other surveys and checks that are required by regulations and requirements of the flag state. These surveys are subject to agreements made in each individual case and/or to the regulations of the country concerned.

To ensure each ship is maintained in accordance with classification society standards and for maintenance of the class certificate, regular and extraordinary surveys of hull and machinery, including the electrical plant, and any special equipment classes are required to be performed periodically. Surveys are based on a five-year cycle that consists of annual surveys, intermediate surveys that are typically completed between the second and third years of every five-year cycle, and comprehensive special surveys (also known as class renewal surveys) that are completed at each fifth anniversary of the ship’s delivery.

All areas subject to surveys as defined by the classification society are required to be surveyed at least once per five-year class cycle, unless shorter intervals between surveys are otherwise prescribed. All ships are also required to be dry-docked at least once during every five-year class cycle for inspection of their underwater parts and for repairs related to inspections. If any defects are found, the classification surveyor will issue a “recommendation” which must be rectified by the ship owner within prescribed time limits. We intend to dry-dock our ships at five-year intervals that coincide with the completion of the ship’s special surveys. We expect that the dry-docking schedule for the vessels which we have the option to purchase from GasLog will, for the foreseeable future, follow the same schedule as our current fleet. According to class, vessels 15 years of age or over will be subject to special consideration and approval by Class ABS based on the vessel’s survey status before being permitted to have an Intermediate underwater inspection in Lieu of dry-docking (UWILD) instead of out of water dry-docking survey. Basis our maintenance standards and the condition of the vessels we expect we will be able to retain the five-year cycle of dry-docking and maintain this assumption for budgeting and operations planning.

Most insurance underwriters make it a condition for insurance coverage that a ship be certified as “in class” by a classification society that is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies. The vessels in our fleet are each certified by the American Bureau of Shipping. Each ship has been awarded International Safety Management (“ISM”) certification and is currently “in class”.

Table of Contents

The following table lists the years in which we expect to carry out the next or initial dry-dockings and special surveys for our fleet:

​

Risk of Loss, Insurance and Risk Management

The operation of any ship has inherent risks. These risks include mechanical failure, personal injury, collision, property loss or damage, ship or cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to a number of reasons, including mechanical failure, cyber-attack, political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, there is always an inherent possibility of marine disaster, including collision, explosion, spills and other environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating ships in international trade.

We maintain hull and machinery insurance on all our ships against marine and war risks at a Total Loss limit amount determined by the most recent brokers’ valuation and our mortgage’s insurance covenants, as deemed to be prudent. In addition, we maintain protection and indemnity insurance on all our ships up to the maximum insurable limit available at any given time by the International Group of P&I Clubs. We also maintain cyber insurance coverage on all of our ships. The insurance coverage is described in more detail below. While we believe that our insurance coverage will be adequate, not all risks can be insured, and there can be no guarantee that we will always be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates or at all, or that any specific claim we may make under our insurance coverage will be paid.

Hull & Machinery Marine Risks Insurance and Hull & Machinery War Risks Insurance

We maintain hull and machinery marine risks insurance and hull and machinery war risks insurance on our ships, which cover loss of or damage to a ship due to marine perils such as collisions, fire or lightning, and the loss of or damage to a ship due to war perils such as acts of war, terrorism or piracy. Each of our ships is insured under these policies for a total amount that exceeds what we believe to be its fair market value. We also maintain hull disbursements and increased value insurance policies covering each of our ships, which provide additional coverage in the event of the total or constructive loss of a ship. Our marine risks insurance policies contain deductible amounts for which we will be responsible, but there are no deductible amounts under our war risks policies or our total loss policies.

Loss of Hire Insurance/Delay Insurance

We have obtained loss of hire insurance to protect us against loss of income as a result of the ship being off-hire or otherwise suffering a loss of operational time for events falling under the terms of our hull and machinery/war insurance. Under our loss of hire policy, our insurer will pay us the hire rate agreed in respect of each ship for each day, in excess of a certain number of deductible days, for the time that the ship is out of service as a result of damage, up to a maximum of 90 days. The number of deductible days for the ships in our fleet is 14 days per ship. In addition to the loss of hire insurance, we also place delay insurance which, like loss of hire, covers all owned vessels for time lost due to events falling under the terms of our hull and machinery insurance, plus additional protection and indemnity related incidents. The cover has a deductible of seven days with a maximum of seven days (which takes it up

48

Table of Contents

to the loss of hire deductible of 14 days) for H&M losses, two days with a maximum of 12 days for ship-related perils, and a maximum of 5 days for shoreside perils. The hire rate is aligned with the loss of hire insurance daily sum insured. As of July 1, 2021, the delay insurers inserted a Communicable Disease Exclusion clause to exclude losses arising out of pandemia (i.e. COVID-19).

Additionally, we buy war loss of hire and kidnap and ransom insurance when our ships are ordered to sail through West Africa, the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden to insure against potential losses relating to the hijacking of a ship and its crew by pirates.

Protection and Indemnity Insurance

Protection and indemnity insurance is typically provided by a protection and indemnity association, or “P&I association”, and covers third-party liability, crew liability and other related expenses resulting from illness, injury to or death of crew, passengers and other third parties, loss of or damage to cargo, third-party claims arising from collisions with other ships (to the extent not recovered by the hull and machinery policies), damage to other third-party property, pollution arising from oil or other substances and salvage, towing and other related costs, including wreck removal.

Our protection and indemnity insurance covering our ships is provided by a P&I association that is a member of the International Group of Protection and Indemnity Clubs, or “International Group”. The thirteen P&I associations that comprise the International Group insure approximately 90% of the world’s commercial tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to reinsure each association’s liabilities. Insurance provided by a P&I association is a form of mutual indemnity insurance.

Our protection and indemnity insurance is currently subject to limits of $3.0 billion per ship per event in respect of liability to passengers and seamen, $2.0 billion per ship per event in respect of liability to passengers and $1.0 billion per ship per event in respect of liability for oil pollution.

For claims falling in excess of the above figures, the General Excess of Loss Reinsurance Programme of the International Group purchase a ‘collective overspill reinsurance’ to provide protection in respect of claims exceeding the upper cover limit.

As a member of a P&I association, we will be subject to calls payable to the P&I association based on the International Group’s claim records as well as the claim records of all other members of the P&I association of which we are a member.

Cyber Insurance

We have insurance coverage for cyber-related vessel hull & machinery risks. Our policy covers physical damage to any of our vessels up to $50.0 million per vessel with a fleet aggregate limit of $150.0 million.

During 2021, we purchased an additional cyber product which compliments the existing vessel hull & machinery cyber cover for losses in excess of $0.1 million and up to $10.0 million and provides coverage irrespective of cause (malicious act, terror or negligence) for the core Enterprise risks including:

The company also provides pre-risk assessment and advice that may reduce GasLog’s cyber exposure and chance of claim.

Safety Performance

GasLog provides intensive onboard training for its officers and crews to instill a culture of the highest operational and safety standards. During 2022, GasLog’s fleet experienced two restricted work cases and one first aid case.

Table of Contents

Permits and Authorizations

We are required by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to obtain certain permits, licenses, financial assurances and certificates with respect to our ships. The kinds of permits, licenses, financial assurances and certificates required will depend upon several factors, including the waters in which the ship operates, the nationality of the ship’s crew and the age of the ship. We have obtained all permits, licenses, financial assurances and certificates currently required to operate our ships. Additional laws and regulations, environmental or otherwise, may be adopted which could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of our doing business.

Environmental and Other Regulation

The carriage, handling, storage and regasification of LNG are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, health and safety and other matters. These laws and regulations include international conventions and national, state and local laws and regulations in the countries where our ships now or in the future will operate, and where our ships are registered. Compliance with these laws and regulations may entail significant expenses and may impact the resale value or useful lives of our ships. Our ships may be subject to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections by a variety of governmental, quasi-governmental and private organizations, including the local port authorities, national authorities, harbor masters or equivalent, classification societies, flag state administrations (countries of registry) and charterers. Failure to maintain permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations required by some of these entities could require us to incur substantial costs or result in the temporary suspension of the operation of one or more of our ships or lead to the invalidation for our insurance coverage reduction.

We believe that our ships are operated in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that our ships in operation have all material permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations necessary for the conduct of our operations. In fact, each of our ships have received an ENVIRO, an ENVIRO+ or a CLEAN notation from our classification societies, which denote compliance with their published guidelines concerning stringent criteria for environmental protection related to design characteristics, management and support systems, sea discharges and air emissions. Because environmental laws and regulations are frequently changed and may impose increasingly strict requirements, however, it is difficult to predict accurately the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements or the impact of these requirements on the resale value or useful lives of our ships. Moreover, additional legislation or regulation applicable to the operation of our ships that may be implemented in the future, such as in response to a serious marine incident like the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, could negatively affect our profitability.

International Maritime Regulations

The IMO, the United Nations agency for maritime safety and the prevention of pollution by ships, has adopted several international conventions that regulate the international shipping industry, including the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (“SOLAS”), the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (“STCW”) and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution From Ships (“MARPOL”). Ships that transport gas, including LNG carriers, are also subject to regulations under amendments to SOLAS, including the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, or the “ISM Code”. The ISM Code requires, among other things, that the party with operational control of a ship develop an extensive safety management system, including the adoption of a policy for safety and environmental protection setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its ships safely and also describing procedures for responding to emergencies. We rely on GasLog LNG Services for the development and maintenance of a safety management system for our ships that meet these requirements. GasLog LNG Services is also subject to the International Code for Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (“IGC Code”), which prescribes design and construction standards for ships involved in the transport of gas. Compliance with the IGC Code must be evidenced by a Certificate of Fitness for the Carriage of Liquefied Gases of Bulk which is issued per vessel. Non-compliance with the IGC Code or other applicable IMO regulations may subject a ship owner or a bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected ships and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports.

SOLAS is an international maritime law which sets minimum safety standards in the construction, equipment and operation of merchant ships. The convention requires signatory flag states to ensure that ships flagged by them comply with at least these standards. The current version of SOLAS is the 1974 version, known as SOLAS 1974, which came into force on May 25, 1980. As of January 2022, SOLAS 1974 had 167 contracting states, which flag about 99.9% of merchant ships around the world in terms of gross

tonnage. SOLAS in its successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international maritime laws concerning the safety of merchant ships.

STCW 1978 was adopted on July 7, 1978 and entered into force on April 28, 1984. The main purpose of the Convention is to promote safety of life and property at sea and the protection of the marine environment by establishing in common agreement international standards of training, certification and watchkeeping for seafarers. The Manila amendments to the STCW Convention and Code were adopted on June 25, 2010, marking a major revision of the STCW Convention and Code. The 2010 amendments entered into force on January 1, 2012 under the tacit acceptance procedure and were aimed at bringing the Convention and Code up to date with developments since they were initially adopted and to enable them to address issues that were anticipated to emerge in the foreseeable future.

The MARPOL Convention establishes environmental standards relating to oil leakage or spilling, garbage management, sewage, air emissions, handling and disposal of noxious liquids and the handling of harmful substances in packaged form. In September 1997, the IMO adopted Annex VI to MARPOL to address air pollution from ships. Annex VI came into force on May 19, 2005. It sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions. Annex VI has been ratified by many, but not all, IMO member states. In October 2008, the Marine Environment Protection Committee, (“MEPC”) of the IMO approved amendments to Annex VI regarding particulate matter, nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide emissions standards. These amendments became effective in July 2010. These requirements establish a series of progressive standards to further limit the sulfur content in fuel oil, (which phased in between 2012 and 2020), as well as new tiers of nitrogen oxide emission standards for new marine diesel engines, depending on their date of installation. As of January 1, 2020, ships must either use low sulfur fuel (potentially including undertaking necessary fuel tank modification) to comply with a global sulfur cap of 0.5 percent m/m or be filled with exhaust gas scrubbers. Additionally, more stringent emission standards could apply in coastal areas designated as Emission Control Areas (“ECAs”). For example, IMO “Tier III” emission standards for nitrous oxide apply in North American and U.S. Caribbean Sea ECAs to all marine diesel engines installed on a ship constructed after January 1, 2016. The European Union Directive 2005/33/EC, which became effective on January 1, 2010, parallels Annex VI and requires ships to use reduced sulfur content fuel for their main and auxiliary engines. Our fleet complies with the relevant legislation and has the relevant certificates, including certificates evidencing compliance with Annex VI of the MARPOL Convention.

Although the United States is not a party, many countries have ratified the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969, as amended (“CLC”). Under this convention, a ship’s registered owner is strictly liable for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge of persistent oil, subject under certain circumstances to certain defenses and limitations. Ships carrying more than 2,000 gross tons of oil, and trading to states that are parties to this convention, must maintain evidence of insurance in an amount covering the liability of the owner. In jurisdictions where the CLC has not been adopted, various legislative schemes or common law impose liability either on the basis of fault or in a manner similar to the CLC. P&I Clubs in the International Group issue the required Bunker Convention (defined below) “Blue Cards” to provide evidence of insurance meeting the liability requirements. Where applicable, all of our vessels have received “Blue Cards” from their P&I Club and are in possession of a CLC State-issued certificate attesting that the required insurance coverage is in force.

The IMO has also adopted the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, or the “Bunker Convention,” which imposes liability on ship owners for pollution damage in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states caused by discharges of bunker fuel and requires registered owners of ships over 1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance for pollution damage in an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime. We maintain insurance in respect of our ships that satisfies these requirements.

Non-compliance with the ISM Code or with other IMO regulations may subject a ship owner or bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected ships and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports, including United States and European Union ports.

The Maritime Labour Convention (“MLC”) 2006 was adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 94^th (Maritime) Session in 2006, which established minimum working and living conditions for seafarers. The convention entered into force August 20, 2013, whilst amendments were approved by the International Labour Conference at its 103^rd Session in 2014. The convention establishes a single, coherent instrument embodying as far as possible all up to date standards of existing international

maritime labour conventions and recommendations, as well as the fundamental principles to be found in other international labour conventions.

United States

Oil Pollution Act and CERCLA

Our operations are subject to the Oil Pollution Act (“OPA”), which established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for environmental protection and cleanup of oil spills, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), which imposes liability on owners and operators of ships for cleanup and natural resource damages from the release of hazardous substances (other than oil). Under OPA, ship owners, operators and bareboat charterers are responsible parties who are jointly, severally and strictly liable (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war) for all containment and clean up costs and other damages arising from oil spills from their ships. Effective March 23, 2023, OPA will increase the limit of liability of responsible parties with respect to ships over 3,000 gross tons to the greater of $2,500 per gross ton or $21.5 million per double hull ship and continue to permit individual states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries. Some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for discharge of pollutants within their waters. Liability under CERCLA is limited to the greater of $300 per gross ton or $5.0 million for ships over 300 gross tons carrying a hazardous substance as cargo and the greater of $300 per gross ton or $0.5 million for any other ship over 300 gross tons.

These limits of liability do not apply under certain circumstances, however, such as where the incident is caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulations, or by the responsible party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, a marine incident that results in significant damage to the environment, such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, could result in amendments to these limitations or other regulatory changes in the future. We maintain the maximum pollution liability coverage amount of $1.0 billion per incident for our ships. We also believe that we will be in substantial compliance with OPA, CERCLA and all applicable state regulations in the ports where our ships will call.

OPA also requires owners and operators of ships over 300 gross tons to establish and maintain with the National Pollution Fund Center of the U.S. Coast Guard evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet the limit of their potential strict liability under the act. Such financial responsibility can be demonstrated by providing a guarantee from an appropriate guarantor, who can release the required guarantee to the National Pollution Fund Center against payment of the requested premium. We have purchased such a guarantee in order to provide evidence of financial responsibility and have received the mandatory certificates of financial responsibility from the U.S. Coast Guard in respect of each of the vessels included in our fleet. We intend to obtain such certificates in the future for each of our vessels, if required to have them.

Clean Water Act

The U.S. Clean Water Act of 1972 (“CWA”) prohibits the discharge of oil, hazardous substances and ballast water in U.S. navigable waters unless authorized by a duly issued permit or exemption, and imposes strict liability in the form of penalties for any unauthorized discharges. The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages and complements the remedies available under OPA and CERCLA. Furthermore, most U.S. states that border a navigable waterway have enacted environmental pollution laws that impose strict liability on a person for removal costs and damages resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance. These laws may be more stringent than U.S. federal law.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has enacted rules requiring ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the normal operation of certain ships within United States waters to be authorized under the Ship General Permit for Discharges Incidental to the Normal Operation of Ships (“VGP”). To be covered by the VGP, owners of certain ships must submit a Notice of Intent (“NOI”) at least 30 days before the ship operates in United States waters. Compliance with the VGP could require the installation of equipment on our ships to treat ballast water before it is discharged or the implementation of other disposal arrangements, and/or otherwise restrict our ships from entering United States waters. In March 2013, the EPA published a new VGP that included numeric effluent limits for ballast water expressed as the maximum concentration of living organisms in ballast water. The VGP also imposes a variety of changes for nonballast water discharges including more stringent Best Management Practices for discharges of oil-to-sea interfaces in an effort to reduce the toxicity of oil leaked into U.S. waters. The 2013 VGP was issued with an effective period of December 19, 2013 to December 18, 2018. The Vessel Incidental Discharge Act, (“VIDA”), enacted on December 4, 2018, requires the EPA and Coast Guard to develop new performance standards and enforcement regulations and extends

52

Table of Contents

the 2013 VGP provisions until new regulations are final and enforceable. We have submitted NOIs for our fleet and intend to submit NOIs for our ships in the future, where required, and do not believe that the costs associated with obtaining and complying with the VGP will have a material impact on our operations.

Clean Air Act

The U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970, as amended by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 and 1990 (“CAA”), requires the EPA to promulgate standards applicable to emissions of volatile organic compounds and other air contaminants. Our ships may be subject to vapor control and recovery requirements for certain cargoes when loading, unloading, ballasting, cleaning and conducting other operations in regulated port areas and emission standards for so-called “Category 3” marine diesel engines operating in U.S. waters. The marine diesel engine emission standards are currently limited to new engines beginning with the 2004 model year. On April 30, 2010, the EPA adopted final emission standards for Category 3 marine diesel engines equivalent to those adopted in the amendments to Annex VI to MARPOL.

The CAA also requires states to adopt State Implementation Plans(“SIPs”), which are designed to attain national health-based air quality standards in primarily major metropolitan and/or industrial areas. Several SIPs regulate emissions resulting from ship loading and unloading operations by requiring the installation of vapor control equipment. The MEPC has designated as an ECA the area extending 200 miles from the territorial sea baseline adjacent to the Atlantic/Gulf and Pacific coasts and the eight main Hawaiian Islands and the Baltic Sea, North Sea and Caribbean Sea, under the Annex VI amendments. Fuel used by vessels operating in the ECA cannot exceed 0.1% (mass by mass) sulfur. As of January 1, 2016, NOx after-treatment requirements also apply. Our vessels can store and burn low-sulfur fuel oil or alternatively burn natural gas which contains no sulfur. Additionally, burning natural gas will ensure compliance with IMO Tier III NOx emission limitations without the need for after-treatment. Charterers must supply compliant fuel for the vessels before ordering vessels to trade in areas where restrictions apply. As a result, we do not expect such restrictions to have a materially adverse impact on our operations or costs.

Other Environmental Initiatives

U.S. Coast Guard regulations adopted under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act, (“NISA”), impose mandatory ballast water management practices for all ships equipped with ballast water tanks entering U.S. waters, which could require the installation of equipment on our ships to treat ballast water before it is discharged or the implementation of other port facility disposal arrangements or procedures, and/or otherwise restrict our ships from entering U.S. waters. In June 2012, the U.S. Coast Guard rule establishing standards for the allowable concentration of living organisms in ballast water discharged in U.S. waters and requiring the phase-in of Coast Guard approved ballast water management systems, (“BWMS”), became effective. The rule requires installation of Coast Guard approved BWMS by new vessels constructed on or after December 1, 2013 and existing vessels as of their first dry-docking after January 1, 2016. Several states have adopted legislation and regulations relating to the permitting and management of ballast water discharges.

At the international level, the IMO adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments in February 2004 (“BWM Convention”). The BWM Convention’s implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits. The threshold ratification requirements for the convention to enter into force were met in 2016, and the convention became effective on September 8, 2017. All our newly delivered ships from 2016 onwards have compliant equipment installed. We have selected one manufacturer to supply the required equipment to be installed at the first dry-dock of all remaining ships. The programme and required funds have been included in our future planning to ensure the fleet remains compliant at all times.

Our vessels may also become subject to the International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea, adopted in 1996, as amended by the Protocol to the HNS Convention, adopted in April 2010 (“HNS Convention,”) if it enters into force. The HNS Convention creates a regime of liability and compensation for damage from hazardous and noxious substances (“HNS”) including a two-tier system of compensation composed of compulsory insurance taken out by shipowners and an HNS Fund which comes into play when the insurance is insufficient to satisfy a claim or does not cover the incident. To date, the HNS Convention has not been ratified by a sufficient number of countries to enter into force.

Greenhouse Gas Regulations

The MEPC of IMO adopted two new sets of mandatory requirements to address greenhouse gas emissions from ships at its July 2011 meeting. The Energy Efficiency Design Index requires a minimum energy efficiency level per capacity mile and is applicable to new vessels, and the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan is applicable to currently operating vessels. The requirements, which entered into force in January 2013, were fully implemented by GasLog as of December 2012 and have been implemented by the Partnership as well. The IMO is also considering the development of a market-based mechanism for greenhouse gas emissions from ships, but it is difficult to predict the likelihood that such a standard might be adopted or its potential impact on our operations at this time.

In June 2021, at MEPC 76, MEPC finalized and adopted amendments to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (“MARPOL”) Annex VI that will require ships to reduce their GHG emissions. These amendments combine technical and operational approaches to improve the energy efficiency of ships and provide important building blocks for future GHG reduction measures. These amendments entered into force on November 1, 2022, and the requirements for EEXI and CII certification came into effect on January 1, 2023. The EEXI, which indicates the energy efficiency of a ship compared to a baseline, will be implemented for existing ships as technical measures to reduce CO2 emissions. The CII will be calculated annually and implemented as an operational carbon intensity measure to benchmark and improve efficiency. The regulations and framework will be rereviewed by MARPOL by January 1, 2026. The European Union has indicated in the past that it intends to propose an expansion of the existing European Union emissions trading scheme to include emissions of greenhouse gases from marine ships. The EU MRV Regulation (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification), entered into force on July 1, 2015, requires large vessels entering European Union ports to monitor, report and verify their carbon dioxide emissions as of January 1, 2018. In the United States, the EPA has adopted regulations under the CAA to limit greenhouse gas emissions from certain mobile sources, although these requirements do not currently apply to greenhouse gas emissions from ships. In addition, the Paris Agreement, which entered into force on November 4, 2016, established a framework for reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, with the goal of holding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius and pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Although the Paris Agreement does not specifically require controls on shipping or other industries, it is possible that countries or groups of countries will seek to impose such controls in the future. Any passage of climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, the European Union, the United States or other countries where we operate, or any treaty adopted or amended at the international level that restricts emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to make significant expenditures that we cannot predict with certainty at this time.

We believe that LNG carriers, which have the inherent ability to burn natural gas to power the ship, and in particular LNG carriers like certain of our vessels that utilize fuel-efficient diesel electric propulsion, can be considered among the cleanest of large ships in terms of emissions and very adaptable to the usage of newly developed lower and/or zero emission fuels.

Ship Security Regulations

A number of initiatives have been introduced in recent years intended to enhance ship security. On November 25, 2002, the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (“MTSA”) was signed into law. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, the U.S. Coast Guard issued regulations in July 2003 requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard ships operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Similarly, in December 2002, amendments to SOLAS created a new chapter of the convention dealing specifically with maritime security. This new chapter came into effect in July 2004 and imposes various detailed security obligations on ships and port authorities, most of which are contained in the newly created International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code, (“ISPS Code”). Among the various requirements are:

The U.S. Coast Guard regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non-U.S. ships from MTSA ship security measures, provided such ships have on board a valid “International Ship Security Certificate” that attests to the ship’s compliance with SOLAS security requirements and the ISPS Code. We have implemented the various security measures

required by the IMO, SOLAS and the ISPS Code and have approved ISPS certificates and plans certified by the applicable flag state on board all our ships.

883 of the Code. The other 50% of the income described in the first sentence of this paragraph would not be subject to U.S. income tax.

For this purpose, “shipping income” means income that is derived from:

We do not expect to qualify for an exemption from such U.S. federal income tax under a tax treaty nor do we expect to qualify for the exemption under Section 883 of the Code during the 2022 tax year, unless our general partner exercises the “GasLog option”.

Our general partner, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of GasLog, by virtue of its general partner interest, has an option (the “GasLog option”), exercisable at its discretion, to cause our common unitholders to permanently have the right to elect a majority of our directors. If that option were exercised, we might qualify for an exemption from U.S. federal income tax on U.S. Source International Transportation Income under Section 883 of the Code. There is no assurance, however, that GasLog will exercise the GasLog option, which is necessary for us to qualify for such exemption, nor can we assure you that GasLog’s exercise of the GasLog option would be sufficient for us to qualify for the exemption for our current or any future tax year.

For any tax year in which we are not entitled to the exemption under Section 883, we would be subject to the 4% U.S. federal income tax under Section 887 on our U.S. Source International Transportation Income (subject to the discussion of “effectively connected income” below) for those years. For 2022, our U.S. source gross transportation tax was $1.5 million. In addition, our U.S. Source International Transportation Income that is considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business is subject to the U.S. corporate income tax currently imposed at rates of up to 21% (net of applicable deductions). In addition, we may be subject to the 30% U.S. “branch profits” tax on earnings “effectively connected” with the conduct of such trade or business, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, and on certain interest paid or deemed paid attributable to the conduct of our U.S. trade or business.

Our U.S. Source International Transportation Income would be considered “effectively connected” with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business only if:

We believe that we will not meet these conditions because we will not have, or permit circumstances that would result in having, such a fixed place of business in the United States or any ship sailing to or from the United States on a regularly scheduled basis.

Taxation of Gain on Sale of Shipping Assets

Regardless of whether we qualify for the exemption under Section 883 of the Code, we will not be subject to U.S. income taxation with respect to gain realized on a sale of a ship, provided the sale is considered to occur outside of the United States (as determined under U.S. tax principles). In general, a sale of a ship will be considered to occur outside of the United States for this purpose if title to the ship (and risk of loss with respect to the ship) passes to the buyer outside of the United States. We expect that any sale of a ship will be so structured that it will be considered to occur outside of the United States.

C.Organizational Structure

GasLog Partners is a publicly traded limited partnership formed in the Marshall Islands on January 23, 2014.

As of February 28, 2023, we have 17 subsidiaries, one is incorporated in the Marshall Islands, one is incorporated in Malta and 15 are incorporated in Bermuda. Of our subsidiaries, 12 own vessels in our fleet. Our subsidiaries are wholly owned by us. A list of our subsidiaries is set forth in Exhibit 8.1 to this annual report.

D.Property, Plant and Equipment

Other than our ships, we do not own any material property. Our vessels are subject to priority mortgages, which secure our obligations under our various credit facilities. For information on our vessels, see “Item 4. Information on the Partnership—B. Business Overview—Our Fleet”. For further details regarding our credit facilities, refer to “Item 5.

Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. Please see the section “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this annual report.

We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations in a single segment.

Overview

Since our IPO in May 2014, we have been an owner, operator and acquirer of LNG carriers. The Partnership’s fleet consists of 12 wholly owned LNG carriers, nine vessels with modern TFDE propulsion technology and three Steam vessels. In addition, GasLog Partners has leased back under two bareboat charters (a) for a period of five years one TFDE vessel sold to CBDL in October 2021 and (b) until the middle of 2025 one Steam vessel sold to another unrelated party in October 2022.

All of our vessels were contributed to us by, or acquired by us from, GasLog, which controls us through its ownership of our general partner. All vessels have fixed charter terms expiring between April 2023 and March 2029. Five of our vessels currently operate under long-term time charters (defined as charters with initial duration of more than three years) and nine vessels trade in the short-term spot market (defined as vessels under contracts with initial duration of less than three years). On redelivery, if the charterers do not exercise any extension option, the vessels will operate in the short-term spot market unless we are able to secure new long-term time charters.

We believe that the actions taken to prioritize balance sheet strength, deleveraging and lowering our cash break- evens will position the Partnership to take advantage of growth opportunities in the future. In the future, we may acquire additional LNG carriers from GasLog (based on the options and other rights we have), as described below, and we may consider whether to acquire vessels or other LNG infrastructure assets from shipyards or other owners. However, we cannot assure you that we will make any particular acquisition, renew our fleet or that, as a consequence, we will successfully grow our distributions per common unit. Among other things, our ability to acquire additional LNG carriers or other LNG infrastructure assets will be dependent upon our ability to raise additional equity and debt financing.

Items You Should Consider When Evaluating Our Historical Financial Performance and Assessing Our Future Prospects

Our results of operations, cash flows and financial position could differ from those that would have resulted if we operated autonomously or as an entity independent of GasLog in the years for which historical financial data is presented below, and such data may not be indicative of our future operating results or financial performance.

You should consider the following facts when evaluating our historical results of operations and assessing our future prospects:

Industry Overview and Trends

Energy Prices

As referenced in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors”, oil prices, as measured by the spot price of Brent crude oil continued to increase throughout 2022, peaking at above $120 per barrel on two occasions during the middle of the year but then declined once more to close the year flat at about $80 per barrel. Oil prices were affected by the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 recovery which would be supportive of additional demand, but demand remained constrained due to recession fears and China’s continued zero COVID-19 policy. Oil prices were also impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the oil price cap which could significantly disrupt crude oil and oil product markets. In addition, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) supported current prices by limiting production through production quotas.

This combination of factors has led to volatile oil prices in 2022, influenced primarily by exogenous factors that are likely to continue impacting the oil market in 2023. The year ended in Brent crude oil at about $80 per barrel (December 21, 2022), only marginally higher than twelve months ago at about $79.8 per barrel (December 31, 2021), despite rising to a peak of nearly $128 per barrel during 2022.

Global natural gas prices set new record high levels in many parts of the world during 2022. Specifically, natural gas prices in the import regions of Europe, as measured by the Title Transfer Facility (“TTF”), peaked at approximately $160 per million British Thermal Units (“MMBtu”) in August and averaged approximately $41 per MMBtu during the year while in Asia, the Japan Korea Marker (“JKM”) set a new record of approximately $70 per MMBtu in August and averaged approximately $34 per MMBtu in 2022. Meanwhile, gas prices in the United States, as measured by the Henry Hub (“HH”) benchmark, also set a new record in response to increased demand for United States LNG by Europe rising to about $9.5 per MMBtu in August with an average of $6.5 per MMBtu in 2022.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the gradual reduction of pipeline flows to Europe reaching a disruption of more than 90% of pipeline flows and sabotage of the Nordstream pipelines combined with European inventories at the end of the winter season (March 31, 2022) 10% below average levels, resulted in a rush to purchase LNG in order to refill inventories before the winter. Success in refilling inventories to above 95% before the start of the winter season for 2022-2023, as well as continued mild weather in Northern Europe has resulted in LNG prices falling from the peak to just above $33 per MMBtu. The response in Asia was more muted as energy producers switched to coal in response to high gas prices while China’s COVID-19 restrictions were still in force throughout 2022 thus reducing energy demand and allowing excess gas to flow to Europe. The outlook for 2023 will depend mostly on the impact of weather on both Europe and Asia as this will directly impact the size of flows to Europe and its ability/need to refill inventories.

While the majority of LNG volumes are sold under long-term contracts with prices linked to the price of crude oil, we believe that the difference in delivered gas prices between import markets in Asia and the Atlantic Basin and export costs from the U.S. is a significant driver of spot LNG trade, as the differential incentivizes natural gas marketers and buyers to ship LNG over longer distances. This dynamic held true and is expected to be re-established in the long-term but in 2022 has been superseded by the continued interest of charterers to secure long-term charters for existing vessels. This trend began in 2021 but defined the 2022

chartering market due to charterers’ preference to be long shipping in order to not be exposed to a volatile market and to ensure sufficient tonnage to service their own volumes as well as any profitable opportunities that may arise.

LNG Supply

Supply for 2022 is forecast to be 403.5 million tonnes (“mt”), an increase of 17.5 mt or approximately 4.5% over 2021, according to Wood Mackenzie. The U.S. led supply growth in 2022, up by approximately 6.5 mt or 9.3% year-over-year due to high export utilization, the startup of the Calcasieu Pass project and despite the Freeport outage since June 2022 due to a fire.

Meanwhile, some exporters such as Nigeria, Algeria, Angola and the UAE have faced declines of export levels and Wood Mackenzie estimates approximately 17.5 mt of lost LNG output due to planned or unplanned maintenance globally. Norway reversed the negative trend as it continues to recover from the fire that impacted its exports registering a 2.7 mt up from 0 flows in 2021. Wood Mackenzie also estimates 15.5 mt of LNG supply growth in 2023 or 3.8% year-over-year.

During 2022, 28.0 mt of new LNG liquefaction projects reached FID according to Wood Mackenzie with at least another 100.0 mt expected to take FID before the end of 2024. Should any further projects take FID, incremental LNG shipping capacity is likely to be required to transport the LNG produced by these projects. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that any of these projects will take FID or, if one or more FIDs are taken, that incremental shipping will be contracted or that GasLog will be successful in securing renewed or new charters at attractive rates and durations to meet such LNG shipping requirements.

LNG Demand

For the full year 2022, LNG demand was 393.4 mt compared to 372.1 mt for the full year 2021, an increase of 6%, according to Wood Mackenzie. Demand growth in 2022 was led by Europe where demand grew approximately 44.3 mt or 56.8% due to pipeline disruptions. Due to the limited supply of LNG and the increased demand, the increased flows to Europe were balanced by reduced flows to Asia Pacific amounting to about 16.7 mt or 6.1% year-over-year. Wood Mackenzie forecasts global LNG demand growth of 8.7 mt or 2% year-over-year in 2023.

LNG Shipping Rates and Chartering Activity

In the LNG shipping spot market, TFDE headline rates, as reported by Clarkson’s, averaged $139,158 per day in 2022, a 46% increase year-on-year. This was mostly influenced by the early seasonal peak with rates crossing the $200,000 per day in late September and crossing the $400,000 per day mark soon after in mid October. This was motivated by the race for charterers to charter in independent vessels leaving none available in the spot market but also their reticence to release tonnage from their portfolios, preferring inefficiency to risking the security of their own cargos. This combined with speculative storage targeting the contango in Europe and congestion at import terminals due to increased LNG flows led to a significant lack of available vessels, which supercharged rates. Once LNG inventories in Europe were full, the continued Freeport outage as well as outages in Nigeria and Asia resulted in additional vessels being open in the market leading to a rapid decline.

The highlight of the 2022 market, however, was the term market for both existing TFDEs and existing Steam vessels, averaging respectively about $131,000 per day for TFDEs and $63,200 per day for Steam vessels for period of one year as reported by Clarkson’s. As indicated earlier this was motivated by the geopolitical events, surge in demand for LNG but also uncertainty. Only independent vessels were able to capitalize on this market given that they were the only ones able to give the duration and delivery/redelivery flexibility that sublets are unable to provide due to internal schedules. As a result, demand for these vessels surged with many vessels being fixed for periods longer than one year reaching up to three or more years in some cases at strong rates, leading to no available independent vessels in the spot market fairly early in the winter season. In order to circumvent this issue many charterers began seeking coverage for 2023 as early as November with vessels being forward fixed between the first and third quarter of 2023. This is likely to exacerbate the scarcity of independent vessels and could see a continuation of the existing trend in 2023.

Delays to the start-up, or unexpected downtime, of LNG supply projects or significant further orders of new LNG carriers may weaken the supply/demand balance for LNG shipping. Reduced demand for LNG or LNG shipping, or any reduction or limitation in LNG production capacity, or significant increases in LNG shipping capacity, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to secure future time charters at attractive rates and durations for new ships we may order or acquire, or upon expiration or early termination of our current charter arrangements, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, including cash available for distributions to unitholders, as well as our ability to meet certain of our debt covenants. A sustained

decline in charter rates could also adversely affect the market value of our ships, on which certain of the ratios and financial covenants with which we are required to comply are based.

Global LNG Fleet

According to Poten, as of January 31, 2023, the global fleet of dedicated LNG carriers (>100,000 cbm) consisted of 606 vessels with another 288 LNG carriers on order, of which only 22 vessels (or 7.6%) do not have multi-year charters. Poten estimates that a total of 34 LNG carriers are due to be delivered in 2023. In 2022, a record 174 orders for LNG carriers were placed, as estimated by Poten. We believe that the growing global demand for natural gas, especially in Asia, increasing supply from the U.S. and other regions, and other LNG market trends, including increased trading of LNG, should support the existing order backlog for vessels and should also drive a need for additional LNG carrier newbuildings. Finally, the scrapping of older and less efficient vessels, the conversion of existing vessels to FSRUs or FSUs and/or employing LNG carriers for short-term storage purposes in order to exploit arbitrage opportunities could reduce the availability of LNG carriers on the water today. However, various factors, including changes in prices of and demand for LNG, can materially affect the competitive dynamics that currently exist and there can be no assurance that this need for additional carriers will materialize or that GasLog will be successful in securing renewed or new charters at attractive rates and durations to meet such LNG shipping requirements.

The statements in this “Industry Overview and Trends” section are forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations and certain material assumptions and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance and outcomes to differ materially from those expressed herein. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” of this annual report.

A.Operating Results

61

Table of Contents

In addition to the general factors discussed above, we believe certain specific factors have impacted, or will impact, our results of operations. These factors include:

See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

Principal Components of Revenues and Expenses

Revenues

Our revenues are driven primarily by the number of LNG carriers in our fleet, the amount of daily charter hire that they earn under time charters and the number of operating days during which they generate revenues. These factors, in turn, are affected by our decisions relating to ship acquisitions and disposals, the amount of time that our ships spend in dry-dock undergoing repairs, maintenance and upgrade work, the age, condition and technical specifications of our ships, as well as the relative levels of supply and demand in the LNG carrier charter market.

Our LNG carriers are employed through time charter contracts. Revenues under our time charters are recognized when services are performed, revenue is earned and the collection of the revenue is reasonably assured. The charter hire revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant time charter. We do not recognize revenue during days when the ship is off-hire, unless it is recoverable from insurers. Advance payments under time charter contracts are classified as liabilities until such time as the criteria for recognizing the revenue are met.

Voyage Expenses and Commission

Under our time charter arrangements, charterers bear substantially all voyage expenses, including bunker fuel, port charges and canal tolls, but not commissions. Commissions are recognized as expenses on a pro rata basis over the duration of a time charter. Bunkers’ consumption recognized under Voyage expenses and commissions represents bunkers consumed during vessels’ unemployment and off-hire periods.

Vessel Operating Costs

We are generally responsible for ship operating expenses, which include costs for crewing, insurance, repairs, modifications and maintenance, lubricants, spare parts and consumable stores, vessel surveys and inspections and other miscellaneous expenses, as well as the associated cost of providing these items and services. Ship operating expenses are recognized as expenses when incurred.

Depreciation

We depreciate the cost of our ships on the basis of two components: a vessel component and a dry-docking component. The vessel component is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of each ship, based on the cost of the ship less its estimated residual value. We estimate the useful lives of our ships to be 35 years from the date of delivery from the shipyard. Management estimates residual value of its vessels to be equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage (“LWT”) and an estimated

62

Table of Contents

scrap rate per LWT, which represents our estimate of the market value of the ship if it was already at the end of its useful life. We review scrap rates on an annual basis, and may revise the rates in response to changing market conditions.

We must periodically dry-dock each of our ships for inspection, repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with industry certification or governmental requirements. All our ships are required to be dry-docked for these inspections at least once every five years. At the time of delivery of a ship, we estimate the dry-docking component of the cost of the ship, which represents the estimated cost of the ship’s first dry-docking based on our historical experience with similar types of ships. The dry-docking component of the ship’s cost is depreciated over five years, in the case of new ships, and until the next dry-docking for secondhand ships, which is performed within five years from the vessel’s last dry-docking unless the Partnership determines to dry-dock the ships at an earlier date. In the event a ship is dry-docked at an earlier date, the unamortized dry-docking component is written off immediately. The LNG vessels are also required to undergo an underwater survey in lieu of dry-docking (“intermediate survey”) in order to meet certain classification requirements. The intermediate survey component is estimated after the first intermediate survey takes place which is between the first and the second dry-docking and is amortized over the period until the next dry-docking which is estimated to be two and a half years.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of legal and other professional fees, board of directors’ fees, share-based compensation expense, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, travel and accommodation expenses, commercial management fees and administrative fees payable to GasLog.

Impairment Loss on Vessels

All owned and bareboat vessels are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of a vessel exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of a vessel’s fair value less cost of disposal and “value in use”. The fair value less cost of disposal is the amount obtainable from the sale of a vessel in an arm’s length transaction less the costs of disposal, while “value in use” is the expected value of all expectations about possible estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value. Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual vessels. Each vessel is considered to be a single cash-generating unit. The fair value less cost of disposal of the vessels is estimated from market-based evidence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified brokers.

Gain/loss on Disposal

Gain/loss on disposal is determined by comparing proceeds from disposal with the carrying amount of a vessel and is included in our consolidated statements of profit or loss.

Financial Costs

We incur interest expense on the outstanding indebtedness under our credit facilities and the swap arrangements, if any, that qualify for treatment as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes, which we include in our financial costs. Financial costs also include amortization of other loan issuance costs incurred in connection with establishing our credit facilities and foreign exchange differences on cash, while all other foreign exchange differences are classified in General and Administrative Expenses.

Interest expense and amortization of loan issuance costs are expensed as incurred.

Financial Income

Financial income consists of interest income, which will depend on the level of our cash deposits, investments and prevailing interest rates. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

(Loss)/gain on Derivatives

Any gain or loss derived from the movement in the fair value of the derivatives (interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts) that have not been designated as hedges, the ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivatives that meet

hedge accounting criteria, realized gain/loss on derivatives held for trading, and the amortization of the cumulative unrealized loss for the derivatives in respect of which hedge accounting was discontinued, if any, are presented as gain or loss on derivatives in our consolidated statements of profit or loss.

Results of Operations

Our results set forth below are derived from the annual consolidated financial statements of the Partnership.

Certain numerical figures included in the below tables have been rounded. Discrepancies in tables between totals and the sums of the amounts listed may occur due to such rounding.

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022

​

​

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we had an average of 15.0 vessels operating in our owned and bareboat fleet having 5,320 available days while during the year ended December 31, 2022, we had an average of 14.7 vessels operating in our owned and bareboat fleet having 5,362 available days.

Revenues: Revenues increased by $44.9 million, or 13.8%, from $326.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $371.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $44.9 million is mainly attributable to a net increase in revenues from our vessels operating in the spot and short-term markets in the year ended December 31, 2022, in line with the continued strength of the LNG shipping spot and short-term markets. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenues due to the sale of the Methane Shirley Elisabeth in the third quarter of 2022. As a result, the average daily hire rate increased from $62,265 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $69,756 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Voyage Expenses and Commissions: Voyage expenses and commissions decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.4%, from $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in voyage expenses and commissions is mainly attributable to a decrease in bunker consumption costs due to the increased utilization of our spot fleet in the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, partially offset by an increase in broker commissions, in line with the increase in revenues.

Vessel Operating Costs: Vessel operating costs decreased by $2.9 million, or 3.9%, from $75.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $72.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in vessel operating costs is mainly attributable to a more favorable EUR/USD exchange rate in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, and the sale of the Methane Shirley Elisabeth in the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by the in-house management of the Solaris (after redelivery into our managed fleet on April 6, 2022). As a result, daily operating costs per vessel (after excluding calendar days for the Solaris, for the period until April 6, 2022, during which the operating costs were covered by the charterers) decreased from $14,742 per day during the year ended December 31, 2021 to $13,726 per day during the year ended December 31, 2022.

64

Table of Contents

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 30.6%, from $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mainly attributable to an increase of $3.8 million in administrative services fees, in connection with the increase in the annual fee per vessel payable to GasLog Ltd. compared to the prior year (approximately $0.3 million per vessel per year), which was partially offset by a decrease in administrative fees due to the sale of the Methane Shirley Elisabeth in the third quarter of 2022. As a result, daily general and administrative expenses increased from $2,441 per vessel ownership day for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $3,262 per vessel ownership day for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Impairment Loss on Vessels: Impairment loss on vessels was $104.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and $32.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was recognized as of December 31, 2021 with respect to all five of the Partnership’s Steam vessels, after concluding that events and circumstances triggered the existence of potential impairment of Steam vessels on that date and was the result of the reduced expectations of the rates at which we could expect to secure term employment for the remaining economic lives of those vessels, and significant uncertainties regarding future demand for such vessels in light of the continued addition of modern, larger and more fuel efficient LNG carriers to the global fleet. In the year ended December 31, 2022, an impairment loss of $28.0 million was recognized pursuant to the reclassification of two of our Steam vessels as held for sale and remeasurement of their carrying amounts as of June 30, 2022. Also, as of December 31, 2022, an additional impairment loss of $4.4 million was recognized with respect to two additional Steam vessels since events and circumstances triggered the existence of potential impairment of Steam vessels on that date as a result of the continuous decline in the fair values of Steam vessels, driven by reduced market expectations of the long-term rates for these older technology vessels, combined with potential costs of compliance with environmental regulations applicable from 2023 onwards.

Financial Costs: Financial costs increased by $10.3 million, or 27.6%, from $37.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $47.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in financial costs is mainly attributable to an increase of $10.8 million due to the higher interest rates in the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we had an average of $1,229.5 million of outstanding indebtedness, with a weighted average interest rate of 2.4%, compared to an average of $1,029.7 million of outstanding indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.9% during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Gain on derivatives: Gain on derivatives increased by $7.1 million, from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase is attributable to a decrease of $5.4 million in realized loss on derivatives held for trading and an increase of $1.7 million in unrealized gain from the mark-to-market valuation of derivatives held for trading which were carried at fair value through profit or loss.

Profit for the Year: There was a decrease of $113.3 million, from a profit of $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a profit of $119.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of the aforementioned factors.

Year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021

For a discussion of our results for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, please see “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – A. Operating Results – Year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2021” contained in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.

Customers

For the year ended December 31, 2022, 44% of our revenues derived from subsidiaries of Shell and 35% from LNG majors/ traders, with the remaining revenues derived from various other charterers.

Seasonality

The revenues of our vessels employed under long-term charter arrangements, were not significantly impacted by seasonal trends during the year ended December 31, 2022. However, our nine vessels trading in the short-term spot market (defined as vessels under contracts of an initial duration of less than three years) are subject to seasonality in spot rates which has been evident in the LNG shipping market during 2022. To the extent that more of our vessels cease to be employed under long-term charter arrangements

the specified vessel was terminated, releasing approximately $17.0 million of incremental liquidity (net sale proceeds less debt prepayment) to the Partnership.

As of December 31, 2022, we had in place four interest rate swap agreements at a notional value of $133.3 million in aggregate, maturing between 2024 and 2025. As a result of its hedging agreements, the Partnership had hedged 14.3% of its floating interest rate exposure on its outstanding debt (excluding the lease liability) as of December 31, 2022, at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.1% (excluding margin).

As of December 31, 2022, we had $198.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $57.2 million was held in current accounts and $140.9 million was held in time deposits with an original duration of less than three months. An additional amount of $25.0 million of time deposits with an original duration of greater than three months was classified under short-term cash deposits.

Under our existing charters as of December 31, 2022, we had contracted revenues of $339.9 million for 2023 and $388.8 million thereafter. Although these contracted revenues are based on contracted charter rates, we are dependent on the ability and willingness of our charterers, to meet their obligations under these charters.

As of December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate of $921.9 million of indebtedness outstanding under our credit facilities of which $90.4 million was repayable within one year, and an aggregate of $62.6 million of lease liabilities mainly related to the sale and leasebacks of the GasLog Shanghai and the Methane Heather Sally, of which $17.4 million was repayable within one year.

Working Capital Position

As of December 31, 2022, our current assets totaled $243.0 million and current liabilities totaled $177.2 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $65.8 million.

Net Cash provided by Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $44.3 million, from $233.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 to $277.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $44.3 million is mainly attributable to an increase of $44.9 million in revenues.

Net Cash provided by Investing Activities:

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $21.8 million, from $98.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 to $76.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $21.8 million is attributable to a decrease of $25.0 million in net cash from short-term cash deposits, a decrease of $15.6 million in proceeds from sale and sale and leaseback transactions, net of commissions, partially offset by a decrease in payments for tangible fixed asset additions and right of use assets of $16.9 million and an increase in financial income received of $1.9 million.

Net Cash used in Financing Activities:

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $12.5 million, from $289.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 to $302.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $12.5 million is attributable to an increase of $30.9 million in cash used for repurchases of preference units, a decrease in proceeds from equity raisings and issuance of general partner units of $10.2 million, an increase of $10.0 million in payments for lease liabilities (principal portion) and an increase of $0.8 million in interest paid, partially offset by a decrease of $36.6 million in bank loan repayments and a decrease of 2.8 million in distributions paid.

Securities, Covenants and Guarantees

The credit agreements are secured as follows:

Certain of the credit facilities also impose certain restrictions relating to the Partnership and GasLog, and their other subsidiaries, including restrictions that limit the Partnership’s and GasLog’s ability to make any substantial change in the nature of the Partnership’s or GasLog’s business or to engage in transactions that would constitute a change of control, without repaying part or all of the Partnership’s and GasLog’s indebtedness in full.

The credit facilities contain customary events of default, including non-payment of principal or interest, breach of covenants or material inaccuracy of representations, default under other material indebtedness and bankruptcy. In addition, the credit facilities contain covenants requiring the Partnership and certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries to maintain the aggregate of (i) the market value, on a charter exclusive basis, of the mortgaged vessel or vessels and (ii) the market value of any additional security provided to the lenders, at a value of not less than 120.0% of the then outstanding amount under the applicable facility (130.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance plus any hedging exposure for the GasLog Partners $193.7M Facility). If we fail to comply with these covenants and are not able to obtain covenant waivers or modifications, the lenders could require the Partnership to make prepayments or provide additional collateral sufficient to bring the Partnership into compliance with such covenants, and if we fail to do so the lenders could accelerate the indebtedness.

The Partnership, as corporate guarantor is also subject to specified financial covenants on a consolidated basis. These financial covenants include the following as defined in the agreements:

The Assumed October 2015 Facility also imposes specified financial covenants that apply to GasLog and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis:

E. Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Partnership’s management evaluates whether estimates should be made on an ongoing basis, utilizing historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods management considers reasonable in the particular circumstances. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability in the future. Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments of uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For a description of all our principal accounting policies, see Note 2 to our annual consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Impairment of Vessels

We evaluate the carrying amounts of our vessels to determine whether there is any indication that they have suffered an impairment loss by considering both internal and external sources of information. If any such indication exists, their recoverable amounts are estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Our estimates of recoverable value assume that the vessels are all in seaworthy condition without need for repair and certified in class without notations of any kind.

In assessing the fair value less cost to sell of the vessel, the Partnership obtains charter-free market values for its vessels from independent and internationally recognized ship brokers on a semi-annual basis, which are also commonly used and accepted by the Partnership’s lenders for determining compliance with the relevant covenants in the Partnership’s credit facilities. Vessel values can be highly volatile, so the charter-free market values may not be indicative of the future market value of the Partnership’s vessels, or prices that could be achieved if it were to sell them.

As of June 30, 2022, the Partnership had entered into an agreement to sell the Steam vessel Methane Shirley Elisabeth and was actively pursuing to enter into an agreement for the sale and leaseback of another Steam vessel, the Methane Heather Sally, with both transactions completed by the end of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the two Steam vessels were deemed to have met the criteria to be reclassified as “Vessels held for sale” and were remeasured at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less costs to sell as of the same date, resulting in the recognition of an aggregate impairment loss of $28.0 million.

As of December 31, 2022, a number of negative indicators such as the continuous decline of the charter-free market values of the Partnership’s Steam vessels, as estimated by ship brokers, driven by reduced market expectations of the long-term rates at which the Partnership could expect to secure term employment for the remaining economic lives of the Steam vessels, combined with potential costs of compliance with environmental regulations applicable from 2023 onwards, continued to influence management’s strategic decisions and prompted the Partnership to conclude that events and circumstances triggered the existence of potential impairment of Steam vessels, with no impairment indicators identified with respect to the remaining owned and bareboat fleet.

The Partnership performed an impairment assessment for the Steam vessels by calculating each vessel’s value in use applying the “expected cash flow” approach, i.e. using all expectations about possible cash flows instead of the single most likely cash flow (“traditional approach”). The expected cash flow approach was considered more appropriate in light of the increasing uncertainty pertaining to the business outlook for our Steam vessels. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership’s management established its expectations for recovering each Steam vessel’s carrying amount in the form of two alternative scenarios: (a) continued operation of the vessel until the end of its useful economic life or (b) sale (at fair value less costs to sell) post expiry of its charter party agreement currently in effect. Appropriate probabilities were determined and assigned to each probable outcome, taking into account management’s established strategic goals and tactical objectives with respect to vessels’ operation and residual value risk management. In both scenarios, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. The projection of cash flows related to vessels is complex and requires management to make various estimates. The assumptions that the Partnership used in its discounted projected net operating cash flow analysis included, among

others, utilization, operating revenues, voyage expenses and commissions, dry-docking costs, operating expenses (including vessel management costs), residual values, fair values less costs to sell and the discount rate. The key assumptions, being those to which the outcome of the impairment assessment is most sensitive, are the estimates of long-term charter rates for non-contracted revenue days and the discount rate.

Revenue assumptions were based on contracted time charter rates up to the end of the current contract for each vessel, as well as the estimated average time charter rates for the remaining life of the vessel after the completion of its current contract. The revenue assumptions exclude days of scheduled off-hire based on the fleet’s historical performance and internal forecasts. The estimated daily time charter rates used for non-contracted revenue days after the completion of the current time charter are based on a combination of (i) recent charter market rates, (ii) conditions existing in the LNG market as of December 31, 2022, (iii) historical average time charter rates, based on publications by independent third party maritime research services (“maritime research publications”), (iv) estimated future time charter rates, based on maritime research publications that provide such forecasts and (v) management’s internal assessment of long-term charter rates achievable by each class of vessel.

Recognizing that the LNG industry is cyclical and subject to significant volatility based on factors beyond our control, management believes that the use of the revenue estimates discussed above to be reasonable as of the reporting date. We have assumed no inflation nor any other revenue escalation or growth factors in determining forecasted time charter rates beyond the contracted charter period through the end of a vessel’s useful life, consistent with long-run historical evidence and industry expectations.

We used an annual operating expenses escalation factor equal to 1% based on historical data and experience, as well as expectations of future inflation on operating and dry-docking costs. Estimates for the remaining useful lives of the current fleet and residual and scrap values are the same as those used for our depreciation policy. All estimates used and assumptions made were in accordance with our internal budgets and historical experience of the shipping industry, taking into account the effect of observable inflationary pressures as of December 31, 2022.

In our impairment assessment as of December 31, 2022, the rate used to discount future estimated cash flows to their present values was 8.4% (7.5% as of December 31, 2021). This was based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital calculated using cost of equity and cost of debt components, adjusted also for vessel-specific risks and uncertainties, as applicable to each probable outcome.

The recoverable amounts (values in use) for two of the three Steam vessels calculated as per above were lower than the respective carrying amounts of those vessels and, consequently, an impairment loss of $4.4 million was recognized as of December 31, 2022.
