COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ​ During the second half of 2018, the Company entered into agreements for the purchase of ballast water treatments systems (“BWTS”) for 42 of its vessels. The cost of these systems will vary based on the size and specifications of each vessel and whether the systems will be installed in China during the vessels’ scheduled drydockings. Based on the contractual purchase price of the BWTS and the estimated installation fees, the Company estimates the cost of the systems to be approximately $0.9 million for Capesize vessels, $0.6 million for Supramax vessels and $0.5 million for Handysize vessels. These costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel. Prior to any adjustments for vessel impairment and vessel sales, the Company recorded cumulatively $16,049 and $12,783 in Vessel assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to BWTS additions. ​ On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into agreements to install scrubbers on its 17 Capesize vessels. The Company completed scrubber installation on 16 of its Capesize vessels during 2019 and the remaining Capesize vessel on January 17, 2020. The cost of each scrubber varied according to the specifications of the Company’s vessels and technical aspects of the installation, among other variables. These costs will be capitalized and depreciated over the remainder of the life of the vessel. The Company recorded cumulatively $42,621 and $41,270 in Vessel assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to scrubber additions. The Company entered into an amendment to the $495 Million Credit Facility to provide financing to cover a portion of these expenses; refer to Note 7 — Debt for further information. ​
