Item 1 — Information Contained in this Form 6-K Report

Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (the Partnership) is updating previously reported financial information for each of the four quarters during and for the year ended December 31, 2009 to reflect adjustments, primarily to correct the Partnership’s accounting for the recognition of unearned revenue related to direct financing leases for the Partnership’s 69 percent interest in the two Tangguh LNG carriers and the Partnership’s 40 percent interest in the four RasGas 3 LNG carriers. The adjustments reflect the use of the effective interest rate method as opposed to using the straight-line method when recognizing unearned revenue under direct financing leases.

Exhibit A to this Report provides revised consolidated statements of income (loss), balance sheets and statements of cash flows for each of the four quarters during and for the year ended December 31, 2009, and also reflects adjustments in affected line items for each period. As reflected in Exhibit A, adjusted amounts of voyage revenues, equity income, net income, total assets and equity increased for all periods as compared to previously reported financial information. The adjustments did not affect aggregate cash flow or cash and cash equivalent balances for any period.

THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K IS HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THE FOLLOWING REGISTRATION STATEMENTS OF THE PARTNERSHIP:

•		REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8 (NO. 333-124647) FILED WITH THE SEC ON MAY 5, 2005
