Overview

We are a growth-oriented limited partnership focused on owning and operating LNG carriers. Our vessels are employed on multi-year time charters, which we define as charters of two years or more, with international energy companies such as BG Group and Gazprom, providing us with the benefits of stable cash flows and high utilization rates. We intend to leverage the reputation, expertise, and relationships of our Sponsor and Dynagas Ltd., our Manager, in maintaining cost-efficient operations and providing reliable seaborne transportation services to our customers. In addition, we intend to make further vessel acquisitions from our Sponsor and from third parties. There is no guarantee that we will grow the size of our fleet or the per unit distributions that we intend to pay or that we will be able to make further vessel acquisitions from our Sponsor or third parties.

Our Initial Fleet

Our Initial Fleet consists of the Clean Energy, the Ob River and the Clean Force, three LNG carriers that are employed under multi-year charters with BG Group and Gazprom with an average remaining charter term of approximately 6.8 years. Of these vessels, the Clean Force and the Ob River have been assigned with Lloyds Register Ice Class notation 1A FS, or Ice Class, designation for hull and machinery and are fully winterized, which means that they are designed to call at ice-bound and harsh environment terminals and to withstand temperatures up to minus 30 degrees Celsius.

According to Drewry Consultants Ltd., or Drewry, only six LNG carriers, representing 1.6% of the LNG vessels in the global LNG fleet, have an Ice Class designation or equivalent rating, and, upon consummation of the Arctic Aurora Acquisition, we will own and operate three of them, the Clean Force, the Ob River and the Arctic Aurora. Moreover, we are the only company in the world that is currently transiting the Northern Sea Route, which is a shipping lane from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean entirely in Arctic waters, with LNG carriers. In addition, we believe that each of the vessels in our Initial Fleet is optimally sized with a carrying capacity of approximately 150,000 cbm, which allows us to maximize operational flexibility as such medium-to-large size LNG vessels are compatible with most existing LNG terminals around the world. We believe that these specifications enhance our trading capabilities and future employment opportunities because they provide greater diversity in the trading routes available to our charterers.

The following table sets forth additional information about our Initial Fleet as of May 14, 2014:

The Arctic Aurora Acquisition

Overview of the Arctic Aurora Acquisition

We have entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to purchase from our Sponsor, following the closing of this offering, 100% of the ownership interests in the entity that owns and operates the Arctic Aurora, a fully winterized, Ice Class LNG carrier, for an aggregate purchase price of $235.0 million. We are purchasing only the Arctic Aurora and the related time charter. All of the other assets and liabilities relating to the Sponsor entity that owns the Arctic Aurora will remain with our Sponsor and do not form part of the purchase price. We will have the right to purchase the Arctic Aurora and the related time charter under this agreement until June 30, 2014. We refer to this transaction as the “Arctic Aurora Acquisition.”

The Arctic Aurora was constructed by HHI and delivered to our Sponsor in the third quarter of 2013. The Arctic Aurora is currently operating under a five year time charter with Statoil, the initial term of which expires

between July and October 2018. Statoil has the right to extend the charter for a period of twelve months in direct continuation of the initial five year charter period on a revolving basis. We expect this charter to provide us with total contracted revenue of approximately $117.2 million based on an expected delivery date of May 30, 2014, excluding options to extend and assuming full utilization for 4.1 years, which is the remaining term of the charter based on the earliest contract expiration date in July 2018.

We believe that the key characteristics of the Arctic Aurora include the following:

The Arctic Aurora Acquisition and the purchase price were approved by our Board of Directors and the conflicts committee of our Board of Directors, or the “conflicts committee.” The conflicts committee retained an outside legal advisor and an independent financial advisor to assist it in evaluating the Arctic Aurora Acquisition.

We have agreed to the Arctic Aurora Acquisition for the following reasons:

We estimate that the Arctic Aurora Acquisition will generate annual gross revenues of approximately $28.3 million, assuming full utilization for the full term of the charter, and annual net cash from operations of approximately $21.7 million.

The following table provides information about the Arctic Aurora:

On March 26, 2014, we entered into a binding commitment letter with an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, or Credit Suisse, for a new $340 million senior secured revolving credit facility to refinance $214.1 million currently outstanding under our existing senior secured revolving facility, or our “2013 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility,” and to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Arctic Aurora

Acquisition. We refer to this facility throughout this prospectus as our “New Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.” This facility will be secured by a first priority or preferred cross-collateralized mortgage on each of the Clean Force, Ob River and Clean Energy and, when delivered, the Arctic Aurora, a specific assignment of the existing charters and a first assignment of earnings and insurances in relation to the vessels. The facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and is payable in 17 consecutive equal quarterly payments of $5.0 million each and a balloon payment of $255.0 million at maturity in September 2018, which may be extended, subject to certain conditions, to a date no later than March 2021. We expect that this facility will have customary financial and restrictive covenants that are consistent with our 2013 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a description of our 2013 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The closing of the New Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is subject to usual and customary conditions precedent, including the negotiation and execution of final documentation.

We intend to use all of the proceeds of this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Arctic Aurora Acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price will be financed with a portion of the amount we expect to draw down under our New Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The Arctic Aurora Acquisition is subject to our obtaining the funds necessary to pay the purchase price.

We expect the Arctic Aurora Acquisition to close following the closing of this offering, subject to customary closing conditions; however, the Arctic Aurora Acquisition may not close as anticipated or it may close with adjusted terms. Please read “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Partnership—The pending Arctic Aurora Acquisition may not close as anticipated or it may close with adjusted terms.” This offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Arctic Aurora Acquisition.

If the Arctic Aurora Acquisition is consummated, our management intends to recommend to our Board of Directors an increase in our quarterly cash distribution of between $0.0225 and $0.0275 (an annualized increase of between $0.09 and $0.11 per unit), which would become effective on a pro-rata basis giving effect to the Arctic Aurora Acquisition for our distribution with respect to the quarter ending June 30, 2014. Any such increase would be conditioned upon, among other things, the closing of the Arctic Aurora Acquisition, the approval of such increase by our Board of Directors and the absence of any material adverse developments or potentially attractive opportunities that would make such an increase inadvisable.

Our Relationship with Our Sponsor and Members of the Prokopiou Family

We believe that one of our principal strengths is our relationships with our Sponsor, our Manager and members of the Prokopiou Family, including Mr. George Prokopiou, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, and his daughters Elisavet Prokopiou, Johanna Prokopiou, Marina Kalliope Prokopiou and Maria Eleni Prokopiou, (who in addition to Mr. Prokopiou, own 100% of the interests in our Sponsor), which provide us access to their long-standing relationships with major energy companies and shipbuilders and their technical, commercial and managerial expertise. As of May 14, 2014, our Sponsor’s LNG carrier fleet consisted of three newbuilding LNG carriers that were delivered in the third and fourth quarters of 2013 and four newbuildings on order with expected deliveries in 2014 and 2015. While our Sponsor intends to utilize us as its primary growth vehicle to pursue the acquisition of LNG carriers employed on time charters of four or more years, we can provide no assurance that we will realize any benefits from our relationship with our Sponsor or the Prokopiou Family and there is no guarantee that their relationships with major energy companies and shipbuilders will continue. Our Sponsor, our Manager and other companies controlled by members of the Prokopiou Family are not prohibited from competing with us pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement that we have entered into with our Sponsor and our General Partner. Our General Partner, which is wholly-owned by our Sponsor, owns 100% of the 30,000 general partner units, representing a 0.1% general partner interest in us, or the General

Partner Units, and 100% of the incentive distribution rights. Please see “—Summary of Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties” below and the section entitled “Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties” which appears later in this prospectus.

Positive Industry Fundamentals

We believe that the following factors collectively present positive industry fundamental prospects for us to execute our business plan and grow our business:

Natural gas and LNG are vital and growing components of global energy sources. According to Drewry natural gas accounted for 25% of the world’s primary energy consumption in 2013. Over the last two decades, natural gas has been one of the world’s fastest growing energy sources, increasing at twice the rate of oil consumption over the same period. We believe that LNG, which accounted for approximately 46% of overall cross-border trade of natural gas in 2013, according to Drewry, will continue to increase its share in the mid-term future. A cleaner burning fuel than both oil and coal, natural gas has become an increasingly attractive fuel source in the last decade.

Demand for LNG shipping is experiencing growth. The growing distances between the location of natural gas reserves and the nations that consume natural gas have caused an increase in the percentage of natural gas traded between countries. This has resulted in an increase in the portion of natural gas that is being transported in the form of LNG, which provides greater flexibility and generally lowers capital costs of shipping natural gas, as well as a reduction in the environmental impact compared to transportation by pipeline. Increases in planned capacity of liquefaction and regasification terminals are anticipated to increase export capacity significantly, requiring additional LNG carriers to facilitate transportation activity. According to Drewry, based on the current projections of liquefaction terminals that are planned or under construction, liquefaction capacity is expected to increase by approximately 105% to 610 million tonnes. Approximately one million tonnes of LNG export capacity creates demand for approximately one to two LNG carriers with carrying capacity of 160,000 to 165,000 cbm each. According to Drewry, as of February 2014, global liquefaction capacity was 297 million tonnes, and an additional 121 million tonnes of liquefaction capacity was under construction and scheduled to be available by the end of 2016. Over the past three years, global LNG demand has continued to rise, but at a slower pace than previously predicted. Drewry estimates that LNG trade decreased by 0.4% in 2013 primarily due to supply disruptions. Based primarily on current construction projects in Australia and the United States, LNG supply is expected to increase, and to have a beneficial impact on demand for shipping capacity, however, continued economic uncertainty and continued acceleration of unconventional natural gas production could have an adverse effect on our business.

A limited newbuilding orderbook and high barriers to entry should restrict the supply of new LNG carriers. According to Drewry, the current orderbook of LNG carriers represents 37% of current LNG carrier fleet carrying capacity. As of February 2014, 126 LNG carriers, with an aggregate carrying capacity of 20.6 million cbm, were on order for delivery for the period between 2014 to 2017, while the existing fleet consisted of 368 vessels with an aggregate capacity of 55.0 million cbm. We believe that the current orderbook is limited due to constrained construction capacity at high-quality shipyards and the long lead-time required for the construction of LNG carriers. While we believe this has restricted additional supply of new LNG carriers in the near-term, any increase in LNG carrier supply may place downward pressure on charter rates. In addition, we believe that there are significant barriers to entry in the LNG shipping sector, which also limit the current orderbook due to large capital requirements, limited availability of qualified vessel personnel, and the high degree of technical management required for LNG vessels.

Stringent customer certification standards favor established, high-quality operators. Major energy companies have developed stringent operational, safety and financial standards that LNG operators generally are

required to meet in order to qualify for employment in their programs. Based on our Manager’s track record and long established operational standards, we believe that these rigorous and comprehensive certification standards will be a barrier to entry for less qualified and less experienced vessel operators and will provide us with an opportunity to establish relationships with new customers.

Increasing ownership of the global LNG carrier fleet by independent owners. According to Drewry, as of March 31, 2014, 74% of the LNG fleet was owned by independent shipping companies, 14% was owned by LNG producers and 13% was owned by energy majors and end-users, respectively. We believe that private and state-owned energy companies will continue to seek high-quality independent owners, such as ourselves, for their growing LNG shipping needs in the future, driven in part by large capital requirements, and level of expertise necessary, to own and operate LNG vessels.

We can provide no assurance that the industry dynamics described above will continue or that we will be able to capitalize on these opportunities. Please see “Risk Factors” and “The International Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Shipping Industry.”

Competitive Strengths

We combine a number of features that we believe distinguish us from other LNG shipping companies.

Management

Broad based Sponsor experience. Under the leadership of Mr. George Prokopiou, our founder and Chairman, we, through our Sponsor and Manager, have developed an extensive network of relationships with major energy companies, leading LNG shipyards, and other key participants throughout the shipping industry. Although we were formed in May 2013, we believe that these longstanding relationships with shipping industry participants, including chartering brokers, shipbuilders and financial institutions, should provide us with profitable vessel acquisition and employment opportunities in the LNG sector, as well as access to financing that we will need to grow our Partnership. Since entering the shipping business in 1974, Mr. Prokopiou has founded and controlled various companies, including Dynacom Tankers Management Ltd., or Dynacom Tankers Management, a Liberian company engaged in the management and operation of crude oil tankers and refined petroleum product tankers, Sea Traders S.A., or Sea Traders, a Panamanian company that manages and operates drybulk carriers and container vessels, and our Manager. Please see “Business—Our Relationship with our Sponsor and members of the Prokopiou Family.”

Strong management experience in the LNG shipping sector. Our management has managed and operated LNG carriers since 2004, and we believe that, through our Sponsor and Manager, we have acquired significant experience in the operation and ownership of LNG carriers. Our senior executives and our Chairman have an average of 25 years of shipping experience, including experience in the LNG sector. In addition, one of the vessels in our Initial Fleet, the Ob River, while operated by our Manager, became the world’s first LNG carrier to complete an LNG shipment via the Northern Sea Route, which is a shipping lane from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean entirely in Arctic waters, demonstrating its extensive Ice Class capabilities. During this voyage, it achieved a significant reduction in navigation time, compared to the alternative route through the Suez Canal, and accordingly, generated significant cost savings for its charterer, Gazprom. We believe this expertise, together with our reputation and track record in LNG shipping, positions us favorably to capture additional commercial opportunities in the LNG industry.

Cost-competitive and efficient operations. Our Manager provides the technical and commercial management of our fleet and we expect it will provide the same services for any other vessels we may acquire in

the future, including the Arctic Aurora. We believe that our Manager, through comprehensive preventive maintenance programs and by retaining and training qualified crew members, is and will continue to be able to manage our vessels efficiently, safely and at a competitive cost.

Demonstrated access to financing. Our Sponsor funded the construction of its seven identified LNG Carriers that we have the right to purchase pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Omnibus Agreement, or the Optional Vessels, through debt financing as well as equity provided by entities owned and controlled by members of the Prokopiou Family. Should we exercise our right to purchase any of the seven Optional Vessels, our Sponsor may novate to us the loan agreements secured by the Optional Vessels, subject to each respective lender’s consent. We believe that our access to financing will improve our ability to capture future market opportunities and make further acquisitions, which we expect will increase the minimum quarterly distribution to our unitholders. In addition, in connection with the closing of our IPO in November 2013, our Sponsor provided us with a $30.0 million revolving credit facility, which we may at anytime utilize for general partnership purposes, including working capital. This facility is interest free and has a term of five years, which commenced on the closing of our IPO. We currently have maximum borrowing capacity under this facility. As of December 31, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings of $214.1 million under our 2013 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

Fleet

Modern and high specification fleet. Two of the three vessels in our Initial Fleet, the Clean Force and the Ob River, have been assigned with the Ice Class designation, or its equivalent, for hull and machinery and are fully winterized, which means that they are designed to call at ice-bound and harsh environment terminals and to withstand temperatures up to minus 30 degrees Celsius. In addition, all of the Optional Vessels, including the Arctic Aurora, have been and are being constructed with the same characteristics and all of the Optional Vessels have or are expected to have upon their delivery the Ice Class designation, or its equivalent. We believe that these attractive characteristics should provide us with a competitive advantage in securing future charters with customers and enhance our vessels’ earnings potential. According to Drewry, only six LNG carriers, representing 1.6% of the LNG vessels in the global LNG fleet, have an Ice Class designation or equivalent rating, and, upon consummation of the Arctic Aurora Acquisition, we will own and operate three of them, the Clean Force, the Ob River and the Arctic Aurora. Moreover, we are the only company in the world that is currently transiting the Northern Sea Route with LNG carriers. We believe that these specifications enhance our trading capabilities and future employment opportunities because they provide greater flexibility in the trading routes available to our charterers. In addition, each of the Optional Vessels is being constructed with an efficient tri-fuel diesel electric propulsion system, which is expected to reduce both fuel costs and emissions. There is no guarantee that we will ever purchase the Optional Vessels and for so long as we do not own these vessels, we will be in competition with these vessels.

Sister vessel efficiencies. The seven Optional Vessels consist of two series of sister vessels, vessels of the same type and specification, and our Initial Fleet of three LNG carriers are also sister vessels, which we believe will enable us to benefit from more chartering opportunities, economies of scale and operating and cost efficiencies in ship construction, crew training, crew rotation and shared spare parts. We believe that more chartering opportunities will be available to us because many charterers prefer sister vessels due to their interchangeability and ease of cargo scheduling associated with the use of sister vessels.

Built-in opportunity for fleet growth. We have the right to purchase the Optional Vessels from our Sponsor. We believe the staggered delivery dates of the seven Optional Vessels will facilitate a smooth integration of these vessels into our fleet if we purchase and take delivery of the vessels. Additionally, we have the right to acquire from our Sponsor any LNG carrier it owns and employs under a charter with an initial term of four or more years. We believe these acquisition opportunities will provide us with a way to grow our cash distributions per

unit. While we intend to acquire one of the Optional Vessels, the Arctic Aurora, using the net proceeds we expect to receive in this offering, together with a portion of the amount we expect to draw down under the New Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, we can make no assurances regarding our ability to acquire the Arctic Aurora or other vessels from our Sponsor or our ability to increase cash distributions per unit as a result of any such acquisition. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not secured any financing in connection with the potential acquisition of any of the other Optional Vessels, since it is uncertain if and when such purchase options will be exercised. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Omnibus Agreement.”

Commercial

Capitalize on growing demand for LNG shipping. We believe our Sponsor’s and our Manager’s industry reputation and relationships position us well to further expand our Initial Fleet to meet the growing demand for LNG shipping. We intend to leverage the relationships that we, our Sponsor and our Manager have with a number of major energy companies beyond our current customer base and explore relationships with other leading energy companies, with an aim to supporting their growth programs.

Pursue a multi-year chartering strategy. We currently focus on, and have entered into, multi-year time charters with international energy companies, which provide us with the benefits of stable cash flows and high utilization rates. All of the vessels in our Initial Fleet are currently time chartered on multi-year contracts, which should result in 100% of our calendar days being under charter coverage in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and 67% of our calendar days in 2017 and, as of May 14, 2014, are expected to provide us with total contracted revenue of $535.0 million, including the recently executed Clean Force charter with Gazprom that is expected to commence in July 2015 and excluding options to extend and assuming full utilization for the full term of the charter. The Arctic Aurora, which we expect to acquire, is employed under a five year charter with Statoil with consecutive renewal options following the initial term. We expect this charter to provide us with total contracted revenue of approximately $117.2 million based on an expected delivery date of May 30, 2014, excluding options to extend and assuming full utilization for 4.1 years, which is the remaining term of the charter based on the earliest contract expiration date in July 2018. The actual amount of revenues earned and the actual periods during which revenues are earned may differ from the amounts and periods described above due to, for example, off-hire for maintenance projects, downtime, scheduled or unscheduled dry-docking and other factors that result in lower revenues than our average contract backlog per day. In the LNG sector, shipowners generally tend to employ their vessels on multi-year charters for steady and secure returns. Charterers also want to have access to vessels for secured supply of cargoes at pre-determined charter rates which can meet their contractual sale and purchase commitments.

Strengthen relationships with customers. We, through our Sponsor and our Manager, have, over time, established relationships with several major LNG industry participants. The vessels in our Initial Fleet have, in the past, been chartered to numerous major international energy companies and conglomerates, in addition to our current charterers, BG Group and Gazprom. We expect that BG Group and Gazprom will further expand their LNG operations, and that their demand for additional LNG shipping capacity will also increase. While we cannot guarantee that BG Group and Gazprom will further expand their LNG operations or that they will use our services, we believe we are well positioned to support them in executing their growth plans if their demand for LNG carriers and services increases in the future. We intend to continue to adhere to the highest standards with regard to reliability, safety and operational excellence.

Our Corporate Structure

Dynagas LNG Partners LP was organized as a limited partnership in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on May 30, 2013. Our Sponsor currently owns 4.1% of our outstanding common units and all of our outstanding subordinated units.

We own (i) a 100% limited partner interest in Dynagas Operating LP, which owns a 100% interest in our Initial Fleet through intermediate holding companies and (ii) the non-economic general partner interest in Dynagas Operating LP through our 100% ownership of its general partner, Dynagas Operating GP LLC.

The following diagram provides a summary of our corporate and ownership structure after giving effect to this offering and the Arctic Aurora Acquisition, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units.

Vessel Management

Our Manager provides us with commercial and technical management services for our fleet and certain corporate governance and administrative and support services, pursuant to three identical agreements with our three wholly-owned vessel owning subsidiaries, or the Management Agreements. Our Manager is wholly-owned by our Chairman, Mr. George Prokopiou and has been providing these services for the vessels in our Initial Fleet for over nine years. In addition, our Manager performs the commercial and technical management of each of the Optional Vessels, including the Arctic Aurora, which also includes the supervision of the construction of these vessels. It is our expectation that our Manager will continue to provide these vessel management services for the Arctic Aurora following our purchase of such vessel, which is subject to important conditions. Through our Manager, we have had a presence in LNG shipping for over nine years, and during that time we believe our Manager has established a track record for efficient, safe and reliable operation of LNG carriers.

We currently pay our Manager a technical management fee of $2,575 per day for each vessel, pro-rated for the calendar days we own each vessel, for providing the relevant vessel owning subsidiaries with services, including engaging and providing qualified crews, maintaining the vessel, arranging supply of stores and equipment, arranging and supervising periodic dry-docking, cleaning and painting and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations, including licensing and certification requirements.

In addition, we pay our Manager a commercial management fee equal to 1.25% of the gross charter hire, ballast bonus which is the amount paid to the ship owner as compensation for all or a part of the cost of positioning the vessel to the port where the vessel will be delivered to the charterer, or other income earned during the course of the employment of our vessels, during the term of the management agreements, for providing the relevant vessel-owning subsidiary with services, including chartering, managing freight payment, monitoring voyage performance, and carrying out other necessary communications with the shippers, charterers and others. In addition to such fees, we pay for any capital expenditures, financial costs, operating expenses and any general and administrative expenses, including payments to third parties, in accordance with the Management Agreements.

We paid an aggregate of approximately $3.7 million to our Manager in connection with the management of our Initial Fleet under the Management Agreements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The term of the Management Agreements with our Manager will expire on December 31, 2020, and will renew automatically for successive eight-year terms thereafter unless earlier terminated. The technical management fee of $2,500 per day for each vessel was fixed until December 31, 2013 and thereafter increases annually by 3%, subject to further annual increases to reflect material unforeseen costs of providing the management services, by an amount to be agreed between us and our Manager, which amount will be reviewed and approved by our conflicts committee.

Under the terms of the Management Agreements, we may terminate the Management Agreements upon written notice if our Manager fails to fulfill its obligations to us under the Management Agreements. The Management Agreements terminate automatically following a change of control in us. If the Management Agreements are terminated as a result of a change of control in us, then we will have to pay our Manager a termination penalty. For this purpose a change of control means (i) the acquisition of fifty percent or more by any individual, entity or group of the beneficial ownership or voting power of the outstanding shares of us or our vessel owning subsidiaries, (ii) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of us and/or our vessel owning subsidiaries or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or those of our vessel owning subsidiaries and (iii) the approval of a complete liquidation or dissolution of us and/or our vessel owning subsidiaries. Additionally, the Management Agreements may be terminated by our Manager with immediate effect if, among other things, (i) we fail to meet our obligations and/or make due payments within ten business days from receipt of invoices, (ii) upon a sale or total loss of a vessel (with respect to that vessel), or (iii) if we file for bankruptcy.

Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreements, liability of our Manager to us is limited to instances of negligence, gross negligence or willful default on the part of our Manager. Further, we are required to indemnify our Manager for liabilities incurred by our Manager in performance of the Management Agreements, except in instances of negligence, gross negligence or willful default on the part of our Manager.

Additional LNG carriers that we acquire in the future may be managed by our Manager or other unaffiliated management companies.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We had less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we have not issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt and we are not a large accelerated filer, which means that we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include, among other things:

We may take advantage of these provisions until the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our IPO or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company if, among other things, we have more than $1.0 billion in “total annual gross revenues” during the most recently completed fiscal year, we become a “large accelerated filer” with market capitalization of more than $700 million, or as of any date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt over the three year period to such date. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of these reduced burdens. For as long as we take advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, the information that we provide to our unitholders may be different from information provided by other public companies.

Summary of Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties

Our General Partner and our directors have a legal duty to manage us in a manner beneficial to our unitholders, subject to the limitations described under “Conflicts of Interest and Fiduciary Duties.” This legal duty is commonly referred to as a “fiduciary duty.” Our directors also have fiduciary duties to manage us in a manner beneficial to us, our General Partner and our limited partners. As a result of these relationships, conflicts of interest may arise between us and our unaffiliated limited partners on the one hand, and our Sponsor and its affiliates, including our General Partner, on the other hand. The resolution of these conflicts may not be in the best interest of us or our unitholders. In particular:

For a more detailed description of our management structure, please see “Management—Directors and Senior Management” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Although a majority of our directors will over time be elected by our common unitholders, our General Partner has influence on decisions made by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has a conflicts committee comprised of certain of our independent directors. Our Board of Directors may, but is not obligated to, seek approval of the conflicts committee for resolutions of conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of the relationships between our Sponsor and its affiliates, including our General Partner, on the one hand, and us and our unaffiliated limited partners, on the other. There can be no assurance that a conflict of interest will be resolved in favor of us.

Recent and Other Developments

On February 14, 2014, we paid a partial cash distribution for the fourth quarter of 2013 of $5.2 million, or $0.1746 per unit, pro-rated from the IPO closing date through December 31, 2013 to all unitholders on record as of February 10, 2014, based on the Board of Directors’ decision made on January 31, 2014. This distribution corresponds to a quarterly distribution of $0.365 per outstanding unit, or $1.46 per outstanding unit on an annualized basis.

On March 26, 2014, we entered into a binding commitment letter with Credit Suisse for our New Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. This facility will be secured by a first priority or preferred cross-collateralized mortgage on each of the Clean Force, OB River, Clean Energy and, when delivered, the Arctic Aurora, a specific assignment of the existing charters and a first assignment of earnings and insurances in relation to the vessels. The facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and is payable in 17 consecutive equal quarterly payments of $5.0 million each and a balloon payment of $255.0 million at maturity. We intend to utilize a portion of the amount we expect to draw down under this facility to finance a portion of the Arctic Aurora Acquisition and the balance to refinance our 2013 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. We expect that this facility will have customary financial and restrictive covenants that are consistent with our 2013 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. The closing of the New Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility is subject to usual and customary conditions precedent, including the negotiation and execution of final documentation.

In anticipation of entering into a new contract, we entered into an agreement with BG Group, the current charterer of the Clean Force, to amend, at no cost to the Partnership, the vessel re-delivery date of the current time-charter contract from the third quarter of 2016 to the end of the second quarter or early third quarter of 2015, when the new Gazprom charter (described below) is expected to commence. On April 17, 2014, we entered into a new 13-year time charter with Gazprom for the Clean Force. As of May 14, 2014, assuming no early expiration or termination, the Gazprom charter is expected to increase the Partnership’s (i) average remaining charter term to approximately 6.8 years from an average of approximately 2.9 years and (ii) average time charter equivalent rate, calculated for a period of twelve months following the commencement of the new charter to an average of approximately $78,200 per day per vessel from an average of approximately $76,150 per day per vessel based on our existing three vessels. Please see “Summary of Historical Consolidated Financial and Operating Data—Footnote (5)” for a discussion of how we calculate our time charter equivalent rate. The Clean Force is expected to be renamed Amur River prior to its scheduled delivery to Gazprom.

On May 12, 2014, we paid a cash distribution for the first quarter of 2014 of $0.365 per unit to all unitholders of record as of May 5, 2014.

THE OFFERING

SUMMARY HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA

The following table summarizes our summary historical consolidated financial and other operating data. Our historical consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to a transaction that constitutes a reorganization of companies under common control and has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, as the Sponsor Controlled Companies were indirectly wholly-owned by the Prokopiou family prior to the transfer of ownership of these companies to us. Accordingly, our financial statements have been presented, giving retroactive effect to the transaction described above, using consolidated financial historical carrying costs of the assets and liabilities of Dynagas LNG Partners and the Sponsor Controlled Companies as if Dynagas LNG Partners and the Sponsor Controlled Companies were consolidated for all periods presented.

The summary historical consolidated financial data in the table as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and for the years then ended are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). The following financial data should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

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

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA as presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the periods presented:
