Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities ("VIE") | VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES ("VIEs") 12.1 Lessor VIEs As of June 30, 2022, we leased one (December 31, 2021: eight) vessel(s) from a VIE as part of sale and leaseback agreements. Our continuing lessor VIE as of June 30, 2022, following the disposals of certain vessels and associated lessor VIEs to CoolCo, is with a China State Shipbuilding Corporation entity (the “CSSC” entity). The CSSC entity is a wholly-owned, newly formed special purpose vehicle (“Lessor SPV”). In this transaction, we sold our vessel and then subsequently leased back the vessel on a bareboat charter for a term of ten years. We have an option to repurchase the vessel at a fixed predetermined amount during its charter period and an obligation to repurchase the vessel at the end of the vessel's lease period. As further discussed in note 11, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Vessel SPA resulted in the disposal of eight of our subsidiaries, being the disponent owners of seven vessels (Golar Seal; Golar Crystal, Golar Bear, Golar Glacier, Golar Snow, Golar Ice and Golar Kelvin). Refer to note 5 to our consolidated financial statements filed with our 2021 Annual Report, for additional details. A summary of our payment obligations (excluding repurchase options and obligations) under the bareboat charter with the lessor VIE as of June 30, 2022, is shown below:
