Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

(2)	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of January 1, 2019. We adopted this guidance retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. We applied the practical expedient available in this guidance, which allows us not to restate prior year balances. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right of use assets and lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 of approximately $5.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The adoption of the new standard did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings. The standard did not impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. We elected not to reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases; (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing lease, and (iii) initial direct costs for existing leases. Refer to Note (4) for further details.

As a lessor, our recognition of vessel and other operating revenues remains consistent with previous guidance under Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). In July 2018, the FASB issued guidance codified in Accounting Standards Update 2018-11, Leases – Targeted Improvements (ASU 2018-11). ASU 2018-11 provides a practical expedient, which allows lessors to combine the lease component with the related non-lease component if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the lease and non-lease component and if the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The single combined component is accounted for under the leasing standard if the lease component is the predominant component and, is accounted for under ASC 606 if the non-lease component is the predominant component. We elected this practical expedient to combine our lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets and have accounted for the combined component under ASC 606 for revenue contracts qualifying for this practical expedient because we have concluded that the non-lease component is the predominant component in our current revenue contracts. The lease component is the vessels leased to our customers. The non-lease components consist of the services provided by the crews manning the vessels.
