As at December 31, 2013, we have commitments for newbuilding contracts to construct eight LNG carriers and three FSRUs at a total contract cost of $2.4 billion of which $1.6 billion remains outstanding. See note 34 for the expected timing of the remaining installments to be paid. Other capitalized costs include site supervision and other miscellaneous construction costs. We took delivery of two newbuilds in October 2013. Upon delivery of both vessels, their total cost of $404.5 million was transferred to vessels and equipment (note 18).
