The transaction, which is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, is scheduled to be completed in January 2015.
The purchase price will be financed by the partnership with cash on hand, the proceeds of a $220m loan from Golar LNG and the assumption of outstanding bank debt.
The transaction marks the Golar Partners’ sixth dropdown of assets since its IPO in April 2011.
Being built by Samsung Heavy Industries, the Golar Eskimo is due to be delivered in December 2014 and would commence service under a ten-year time charter with the Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Jordan) in the second quarter of 2015.
