As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, restricted cash amounted to $17,000 and $15,000, respectively and is presented under other non-current assets. The credit facilities also contain the collateral maintenance requirement in which the aggregate average fair market value, of the collateral vessels shall be no less than 125% of the aggregate outstanding amount under these facilities. Also the vessel-owning companies may pay dividends or make distributions when no event of default has occurred and the payment of such dividend or distribution has not resulted in a breach of any of the financial covenants. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Partnership was in compliance with all financial debt covenants. |
