During the six months ended June 30, 2015, three newbuild LNGs, Golar Kelvin, Golar Snow and Golar Ice were delivered, at a total cost of $628.3 million. The Golar Eskimo was sold to Golar Partners in January 2015 and in February 2015, we sold the LNG carrier, Golar Viking, to Equinox at a sale price of $135.0 million resulting in a loss on disposal of $5.8 million. As at December 31, 2014, the vessel was recognised as "held-for-sale" with a net book value of $132.1 million.
