EARNINGS RELEASE


TEEKAY LNG REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
AND DECLARES QUARTERLY CASH DISTRIBUTION


Second Quarter Highlights

Nassau, The Bahamas, August 2, 2006 — Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG or the Partnership) (NYSE: TGP) today reported a net loss of $15.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, compared to net income of $16.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The results for the second quarter of 2006 included a foreign currency translation loss of $20.3 million relating to long-term debt denominated in Euros. The results for the second quarter of 2005 included a foreign currency translation gain of $30.3 million relating to the Euro-denominated debt and $15.3 million in losses relating to the write-down of capitalized loan costs due to the prepayment of $337.3 million in outstanding debt and the termination of interest rate swaps prior to the Partnership’s initial public offering in May 2005.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $14.8 million, compared to net income of $57.9 million for the same period last year. The results for the first half of 2006 included a foreign currency translation loss of $28.2 million relating to long-term debt denominated in Euros. The results for the first half of 2005 included a foreign currency translation gain of $75.3 million relating to the Euro-denominated debt and $15.3 million in losses relating to the write-down of capitalized loan costs and the termination of interest rate swaps.

The Partnership’s Euro-denominated revenues currently approximate its Euro-denominated expenses and debt service costs. As a result, the Partnership currently is not exposed materially to foreign currency fluctuations. However, for accounting purposes the Partnership is required to revalue all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of each reporting period. This revaluation does not affect the Partnership’s cash flows or the calculation of distributable cash flow, but results in the recognition of unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses in the income statement, as reflected in the foreign currency exchange losses and gains discussed above for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Partnership generated $14.2 million of distributable cash flow(1), compared to $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in distributable cash flow is primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in voyage revenues as a result of one LNG carrier being off-hire for 33 days (net of off-hire insurance recovery) during a scheduled drydocking, which was extended to complete certain unexpected repairs. The cost of the repairs was $1.0 million, net of insurance recoveries. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, the vessel resumed regular operations.

Teekay GP L.L.C., the general partner of Teekay LNG, declared a cash distribution of $0.4625 per unit for the second quarter of 2006, representing a total cash distribution of $16.5 million. The cash distribution is payable on Aug 14, 2006 to all unitholders of record on August 9, 2006.

As previously announced, Teekay LNG has agreed to acquire from its parent company, Teekay Shipping Corporation (Teekay) (NYSE: TK), its 70% interest in Teekay Nakilat Corporation (Teekay Nakilat), which owns three 151,700 cubic meter LNG newbuilding carriers that are subject to capital leases and are scheduled to deliver during the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. Upon their deliveries, the vessels will provide transportation services under 20-year, fixed-rate time charters, with inflation adjustments, to Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Co. Limited (II) (RasGas II), a joint venture company between a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Corporation and Qatar Petroleum. Qatar Gas Transport Company Ltd. (Nakilat) (QGTC) owns the remaining 30% interest in Teekay Nakilat.

(1) Distributable cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to measure the financial performance of the Partnership and other master limited partnerships. Please see the Appendix for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Upon their deliveries scheduled during the first half of 2008, the vessels will provide transportation services to RasGas 3 at fixed rates, with inflation adjustments, for a period of 25 years, with options exercisable by RasGas 3 to extend up to a total of 35 years.

In accordance with existing agreements, Teekay is required to offer to Teekay LNG its 40% interest in these vessels and related charter contracts no later than 180 days before the scheduled deliveries of the vessels. QGTC will own the remaining 60% interest.

Tangguh

In July 2005, Teekay announced that it had been awarded contracts to charter two 155,000 cubic meter LNG newbuilding carriers to The Tangguh Production Sharing Contractors, a consortium led by a subsidiary of BP plc, to service the Tangguh LNG project in Indonesia. Upon their deliveries scheduled for late 2008 and early 2009, the vessels will provide transportation services at fixed rates, with inflation adjustments, for a period of 20 years.

In accordance with existing agreements, Teekay is required to offer to Teekay LNG its 70% interest in these vessels and related charter contracts no later than 180 days before the scheduled deliveries of the vessels. An Indonesian joint venture partner will own the remaining 30% interest.

APPENDIX — RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE

(in thousands of U.S. dollars)


Description of Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Distributable Cash Flow

Distributable cash flow represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense, estimated maintenance capital expenditures, gains and losses on vessel sales, income taxes and foreign exchange related items. Maintenance capital expenditures represent those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long-term the operating capacity of or the revenue generated by the Partnership’s capital assets. Distributable cash flow is a quantitative standard used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Distributable cash flow is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other indicator of the Partnership’s performance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The table below reconciles distributable cash flow to net income.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS


This release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflect management’s current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including statements regarding: the Partnership’s future growth prospects; the offers to the Partnership of Teekay’s interests in LNG projects; the timing of the commencement of the RasGas II, RasGas 3 and Tangguh LNG projects; the timing of LNG newbuilding deliveries; and the Partnership’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, particularly in Euros. The following factors are among those that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, and that should be considered in evaluating any such statement: changes in production of LNG, either generally or in particular regions; less than anticipated revenues or higher than anticipated costs or capital requirements; changes in trading patterns significantly affecting overall vessel tonnage requirements; changes in applicable industry laws and regulations and the timing of implementation of new laws and regulations; the potential for early termination of long-term contracts and inability of the Partnership to renew or replace long-term contracts; shipyard production delays; the Partnership’s ability to raise financing to purchase additional vessels or to pursue LNG projects; required approvals by the conflicts committee of the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner to acquire any LNG projects offered to the Partnership by Teekay; changes to the amount or proportion of revenues, expenses, or debt service costs denominated in foreign currencies; and other factors discussed in Teekay LNG’s filings from time to time with the SEC, including its Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Partnership’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
