18 - REVENUE FROM TIME CHARTERS

 

Total voyage revenue earned on time charters, including revenue earned in vessel pools and spot market-related time charters, as well as the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $39,676 and $59,025, respectively.  There was no profit sharing revenue earned during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.  Future minimum time charter revenue, based on vessels committed to noncancelable time charter contracts as of May 1, 2013 is expected to be $14,645 for the remainder of 2013 and $3,512 during 2014, assuming off-hire due to any scheduled drydocking and that no additional off-hire time is incurred.  For most drydockings, the Company assumes twenty days of offhire.  Future minimum revenue excludes revenue earned for the five vessels currently in pool arrangements, vessels that are currently on or will be on spot market-related time charters, as spot rates cannot be estimated, as well as profit sharing revenue.
