Teekay LNG Partners, whose gas group units own, charter or have stakes in 77 vessels, including 47 liquefied natural gas carriers and 30 liquefied petroleum gas or multi-gas vessels, reported annual net income almost halved, though its long-term charters strategy partially protected the company from the worst of the challenges.
