As at December 31, 2015 we have remaining commitments of $235.1 million due to our newbuilding contract to construct one FSRU at a total contract cost of $247.5 million. See note 32 for the expected timing of the remaining installments to be paid.

Interest costs capitalized in connection with the newbuildings for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $3.9 million, $21.1 million and $22.5 million, respectively. Other capitalized costs include site supervision and other miscellaneous construction costs.

In 2015, we took delivery of four newbuilds. Upon delivery of these vessels, their total costs of $374.3 million were transferred to ''Vessels and equipment, net'' (see note 18). Included within this amount is Golar Tundra, which is shown as "held-for-sale".
