ASSET DISPOSITIONS, ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

During the six months ending June 30, 2023, we sold or recycled six of our vessels held for sale, leaving two vessels valued at $0.6 million remaining in the held for sale account as of June 30, 2023. We also sold two vessels from our active fleet. The total vessel and other sales for the six-month period ending June 30, 2023 contributed approximately $8.7 million in proceeds and we recognized a net $3.6 million gain on the dispositions. In the six-month period ending June 30, 2022, we added one vessel to assets held for sale, sold or recycled nine of our vessels held for sale, and re-activated one vessel from assets held for sale back into the active fleet, leaving nine vessels valued at $6.9 million remaining in the held for sale account as of June 30, 2022.

We consider the valuation approach for our assets held for sale to be a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the level of estimation involved in valuing assets to be recycled or sold. We estimate the net realizable value of our assets held for sale using various methodologies including third party appraisals, sales comparisons, sales agreements and recycle yard tonnage prices. Estimates generally fall in ranges rather than exact numbers due to the nature of sales of offshore vessels and industry conditions. Our value ranges depend on our expectation of the ultimate disposition of the vessel. We will in all circumstances attempt to achieve maximum value for our vessels, but also recognize that certain vessels are more likely to be recycled, especially given the time and effort required to achieve a sale and the costs incurred to maintain a vessel while searching for a buyer. We establish ranges that in many cases have recycle value as the low end of the range and an expected open market sale value at the top of the range. When there is no expectation within the range that is considered more likely than any other, we apply equal probability weighting to the low and high ends of the valuation range. In addition, in conjunction with the reactivation of a vessel from assets held for sale to the active fleet in the first quarter of 2022 and the concurrent valuation of such vessel at its fair value, we recaptured $0.5 million of impairment charged to expense. We do not separate our asset impairment expense by segment because of the significant movement of our assets between segments.
