As at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership was a party to finance leases on nine LNG carriers. These nine LNG carriers were sold by the Partnership to third parties (or Lessors) and leased back under 7.5 to 15-year bareboat charter contracts ending in 2026 through 2034. At inception of these leases, the weighted-average interest rate implicit in these leases was 5.1%. The bareboat charter contracts are presented as obligations related to finance leases on the Partnership's consolidated balance sheets and have purchase obligations at the end of the lease terms.

The obligations of the Partnership under the bareboat charter contracts for the nine LNG carriers are guaranteed by the Partnership. The guarantee agreements require the Partnership to maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity, and not to exceed a maximum amount of leverage. As at June 30, 2021, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants in respect of the obligations related to its finance leases.
As at June 30, 2021, the remaining commitments related to the financial liabilities of these nine LNG carriers, including the amounts to be paid for the related purchase obligations, approximated $1.7 billion, including imputed interest of $366.8 million, repayable for the remainder of 2021 through 2034, as indicated below:
