The Partnership and its subsidiaries have related party transactions with CSM and the Partnership’s general partner, Capital GP L.L.C. (“CGP”) arising from certain terms of the following management and administrative services agreements.

Management agreement: Under the terms of this agreement the Partnership compensates its Manager for expenses and liabilities incurred on the Partnership’s behalf while providing the agreed services, including, but not limited to, crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating costs. Costs and expenses associated with a managed vessel’s next scheduled dry docking are borne by the Partnership and not by the Manager.

Administrative and executive services agreements: On April 4, 2007, the Partnership entered into an administrative services agreement with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager has agreed to provide certain administrative management services to the Partnership such as accounting, auditing, legal, insurance, IT, clerical, and other administrative services. In addition, the Partnership reimburses the Manager and CGP for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services after the Manager submits to the Partnership an invoice for such costs and expenses, together with any supporting detail that may be reasonably required. These expenses are included in “General and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) / income. In December 2015, the Partnership entered into an executive services agreement with CGP, which was amended in 2016 and according to which CGP also provides certain executive officers services for the management of the Partnership’s business as well as investor relations and corporate support services to the Partnership.
