Golar LNG Partners said launched legal proceedings over a charterer's refusal to accept a regasification ship as it reported a better than expected quarterly profit.

The company, a spinoff of Golar LNG Ltd, said it launched proceedings to collect amounts due from West Africa Gas Ltd (WAGL) for its charter of the 170,000-cbm Golar Tundra (built 2015).

The floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) remains at anchor off Ghana as a result of port infrastructure delays, even though the charterer has received parliamentary approval to sell gas to the African country.
