As at December 31, 2015, we owned sixteen (2014: thirteen) vessels including the Golar Tundra. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we took delivery of four newbuildings. However, as of December 31, 2015, the Golar Tundra's carrying value has been excluded as she was classified as "held-for-sale".

Drydocking costs of $43.1 million and $43.9 million are included in the cost amounts above as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accumulated amortization of those costs as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $18.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $73.7 million, $49.8 million and $36.9 million, respectively.
