Vessel operating and drydocking expense related accruals are composed of vessel operating expenses such as crew wages, vessel supplies, routine repairs, maintenance, drydocking, lubricating oils and insurances. Administrative expenses related accruals are comprised of general overhead including personnel costs, legal and professional fees, costs associated with project development, property costs and other general expenses. The movement in interest expense is due to repayments of VIE entities' accrued interest expenses during the year.
