In the event of damage to our owned vessels, the damaged vessel would be off-hire while it is being repaired, which would decrease our revenues and cash flows, including cash available for distributions to our unitholders. In addition, the costs of vessel repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. In the event of repair costs that are not covered, whether in whole or in part, by our insurance policies, we may have to pay such repair costs, which would decrease our earnings and cash flows.

Volatile economic conditions may adversely impact our ability to obtain financing or refinance our current or future credit facilities and other financing arrangements, on acceptable terms, which may hinder or prevent us from operating or expanding our business.

Various macroeconomic factors, including rising inflation, higher interest rates, global supply chain constraints, trade wars and the effects of overall economic conditions and uncertainties such as those resulting from the current and future conditions in the global financial markets, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions. Inflation and rising interest rates may negatively impact us by increasing our operating costs and our cost of borrowing. Interest rates, the liquidity of the credit markets and the volatility of the capital markets could also affect the operation of our business and our ability to raise capital on favorable terms, or at all. Adverse economic conditions also affect demand for LNG and LNG shipping which could result in significant decreases in rates we obtain for chartering our ships. In addition, the cost for crew members, oils and bunkers, and other supplies may increase. In addition, we may experience losses on our holdings of cash and investments due to failures of financial institutions and other parties. Difficult economic conditions may also result in a higher rate of losses on our accounts receivable due to credit defaults. As a result, downturns in the worldwide economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions.

The world economy continues to face a number of actual and potential challenges, including the continuing war between Russia and Ukraine, and between Israel and Hamas, Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, tensions, China and Taiwan disputes, United States and China trade relations, instability between Iran and the West, hostilities between the United States and North Korea, political unrest and conflicts in the Middle East, the South China Sea region, the Red Sea region (including missile attacks controlled by the Houthis on vessels transiting the Red Sea) and in other geographic countries and areas, terrorist or other attacks
