GasLog Partners reported record results for the fourth quarter of 2018, but volatility in equities markets is pushing the LNG carrier owner to buyback shares.

The Andrew Orekar-led shipowner reported adjusted profit of $42.2m for the last three months of 2018, a 4% year over year gain.

Operating revenue of $86.6m and $68.7m in EBITDA were also new records in what Orekar called a "transformative year" which positions GasLog for a drop down acquisition in the first quarter.
