(17) |  | RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 the Company’s management initiated a plan to begin reorganizing its operations worldwide as a result of the continuing decline in oil prices and the resulting softening demand for the company’s vessels. This plan consists of select employee terminations and early retirements that are intended to eliminate redundant or unneeded positions, reduce costs, and better align our workforce with anticipated activity levels in the geographic areas in which the company presently operates. In connection with these efforts, the company recognized a $4.1 million restructuring charge during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Reorganization efforts to date most significantly included the redeployment of vessels from our Australian operation to other international markets where opportunities to profitably operate such vessels are considered more robust. The departure of these vessels from the Australian market and the associated reductions in onshore and offshore staffing resulted in the termination of a number of mariners who were entitled to severance payments under the terms of the enterprise bargaining agreement and in accordance with Australian labor laws.
