    Years ended December 31,
    2021   2022   2023

As of December 31, 2023, trade accounts receivable from voyage charter agreements amounted to $24,223, remaining almost the same level compared to $24,144 as of December 31, 2022 and are presented under “Trade accounts receivable, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Under ASC 606, unearned voyage charter revenue represents the consideration received for undelivered performance obligations.  The Company recorded $9,215 as unearned revenue related to voyage charter agreements in progress as of December 31, 2022, which was recognized in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2023 as the performance obligations were satisfied in that period. In addition, the Company recorded $5,556 as unearned revenue related to voyage charter agreements in progress as of December 31, 2023 and is presented under “Deferred revenue” in the consolidated balance sheets, which will be recognized in earnings during the year ending December 31, 2024 as the performance obligations will be satisfied in that period. This decrease of $3,659 was mainly attributable to the weaker market conditions prevailing at year end of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 while it is also affected by the timing of collections.
