Another One Bites The Dust: LNG Shipping's GasLog To Delist
More shipowners have come to Wall Street than have left over the past half decade. Yet most of the new arrivals have been micro-cap stocks and some of the recent departures have been big names. On Monday, liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping giant GasLog Ltd. (NYSE: GLOG ) announced plans to go private. The delisting of GasLog follows on the heels of January's definitive agreement to fold Navios Containers (NYSE: NMCI ) into Navios Partners ( NMM ), December's "take private" announcement by Seacor (NYSE: CKH ), the delisting of Teekay Offshore's common (but not preferred) units in January 2020 after the takeover by Brookfield Business Partners, and the privatization of DryShips in October 2019. GasLog founder Peter Livanos (Photo: John Galayda|Marine Money) GasLog's founder, shipping magnate Peter Livanos , said the new deal would allow "for access to growth capital currently absent in the public equity markets." That's definitely not a vote of confidence in the value of a shipping listing.
