SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ​ Principles of consolidation ​ The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) which includes the accounts of GS&T and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ​ Basis of presentation ​ The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. ​ The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include vessel valuations, the valuation of amounts due from charterers, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels and the fair value of derivative instruments, if any. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ​ Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash ​ The Company considers highly liquid investments, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Current and non-current restricted cash includes cash that is restricted pursuant to our credit facilities. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: ​

​ Vessels held for sale The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a strategy of divesting specifically identified older, less fuel-efficient vessels as part of a fleet renewal program to streamline and modernize the Company’s fleet. ​ On January 22, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Lorraine. The relevant vessel asset has been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2021. The Genco Lorraine was sold on July 6, 2021. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for details of the agreements. ​ On November 3, 2020, November 27, 2020 and November 30, 2020, the Company entered into agreements to sell the Baltic Panther, the Baltic Hare and the Baltic Cougar, respectively. The relevant vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020. The Baltic Panther, the Baltic Hare and the Baltic Cougar were sold on January 4, 2021, January 15, 2021 and February 24, 2021, respectively. ​ Vessels held for exchange ​ The remaining five vessel assets to be exchanged as part of an agreement entered into by the Company on December 17, 2020 have been classified as vessels held for exchange in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of $38,214, after recognition of impairment. This includes the vessel assets for the Baltic Cove, the Baltic Fox, the Genco Avra, the Genco Mare and the Genco Spirit. These vessels were exchanged during the first quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for details of the agreement. ​ Voyage expense recognition ​ In time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. These expenses are borne by the Company during spot market voyage charters. As such, there are significantly higher voyage expenses for spot market voyage charters as compared to time charters, spot market-related time charters and pool agreements. Refer to Note 11 — Voyage Revenues for further discussion of the accounting for fuel expenses for spot market voyage charters. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Additionally, the Company records lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis for certain time charter agreements where the inventory is subject to gains and losses. These differences in bunkers, including any lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, resulted in a net (gain) loss of ($443) and $958 during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and ($937) and $1,800 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement. ​ Impairment of vessel assets ​ During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any impairment of vessel assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 — “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $0 and $112,814, respectively, related to the impairment of vessel assets in accordance with ASC 360. ​ At March 31, 2020, the Company determined that the expected estimated future undiscounted cash flows for four of its Supramax vessels, the Genco Picardy, the Genco Predator, the Genco Provence and the Genco Warrior, did not exceed the net book value of these vessels as of March 31, 2020. The Company adjusted the carrying value of these vessels to their respective fair market values as of March 31, 2020. This resulted in an impairment loss of $27,046 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. ​ On February 24, 2020, the Board of Directors determined to dispose of the Company’s following ten Handysize vessels: the Baltic Hare, the Baltic Fox, the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Cove, the Baltic Breeze, the Genco Ocean, the Genco Bay, the Genco Avra, the Genco Mare and the Genco Spirit, at times and on terms to be determined in the future. Given this decision, and that the revised estimated future undiscounted cash flows for each of these older vessels did not exceed the net book value for each vessel given the estimated probabilities of whether the vessels will be sold, the Company adjusted the values of these older vessels to their respective fair market values during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Subsequent to February 24, 2020, the Company entered into agreements to sell three of these vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2020, namely the Baltic Wind, the Baltic Breeze and the Genco Bay, which were adjusted to their net sales price. This resulted in an impairment loss of $85,768 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. ​ Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the sale of certain aforementioned vessels. ​ Loss on sale of vessels ​ During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net loss of $15 related primarily to the sale of the Baltic Leopard. The net loss of $735 recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related primarily to the sale of the Baltic Panther, Baltic Hare, Baltic Cougar and Baltic Leopard, as well as net losses associated with the exchange of the Baltic Cove, Baltic Fox, Genco Spirit, Genco Avra and Genco Mare. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a net loss of $486 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Charger and Genco Thunder. There were no vessels sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the sale of these vessels. ​ Recent accounting pronouncements ​ In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”)” which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Scope (“ASU 2021-01”),” which permits entities to apply optional expedients in Topic 848 to derivative instruments modified because of discounting transition resulting from reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 became effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modification made on or before December 31, 2022. ASU 2021-01 became effective upon issuance and may be applied on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively for contract modification made on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
