b) Legal proceedings

Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. The Company accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure.

The Company is involved in non-material legal proceedings and may become involved in other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Generally, we expect that such claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles.

Certain routine non-material commercial claims have been asserted against the Company, or by the Company against charterers, that relate to contractual disputes with certain of our charterers. The nature of these disputes involves disagreements over losses claimed by charterers, or by the Company, during or as a result of the performance of certain charters, including, but not limited to, delays in the performance of the charters and off-hire during the charters. The related legal proceedings are at various stages of resolution.

As part of the Eagle Merger, the Company acquired a subsidiary involved in a legal case concerning environmental compliance. As previously disclosed, that subsidiary has now pleaded guilty to one count alleging failure to maintain an accurate oil record book on board a vessel in violation of The Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships (“APPS”), accepted to enter into the relevant plea agreement (the “Agreement”), pay a fine of $1,750 (for which the Company had already posted a surety bond as security for any potential fines) and serve a four-year term of probation during which eight of the Company’s vessels will be required to adhere to a monitored environmental compliance plan. The Agreement is subject to sentencing proceedings before a U.S. District Court Judge in the Eastern District of Louisiana and will not be finalized until the Court has accepted the guilty plea, approved the Agreement and imposed the agreed upon sentence. The Company does not believe that this matter will have a material impact on the Company, our financial condition, or results of operations.

Currently, other than as disclosed above, management is not aware of, and has not accrued for, any such claims or contingent liabilities requiring disclosure in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company accrues for a contingent liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

The Company evaluates its outstanding legal proceedings to assess its contingent liabilities and adjusts such liabilities, as appropriate, based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel. There is no assurance that the Company’s contingent liabilities will not need to be adjusted in the future.
