Spun-off Golar LNG Partners showed a profit in the third quarter but its bottom line was down on a year ago.
Net income at the New York-listed owner was lower at $8.2m compared with $10.4m in the third quarter of 2010.
Over the same period its operating income was up from $24m to $26.2m.
The company attributes this to inflation escalators built into its charters including two FSRUs on charter to Brazil’s Petrobras.
