Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue
2. Revenues
The Company’s primary source of revenue is chartering its vessels and offshore units to its customers. The Company utilizes four primary forms of contracts, consisting of time charter contracts, voyage charter contracts, bareboat charter contracts and contracts for FPSO units. The Company also generates revenue from the management and operation of vessels owned by third parties and by equity-accounted investments as well as providing corporate management services to such entities.

Time Charters
Pursuant to a time charter, the Company charters a vessel to a customer for a period of time, generally one year or more. The performance obligations within a time charter contract, which will include the lease of the vessel to the charterer as well as the operation of the vessel, are satisfied as services are rendered over the duration of such contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. In addition, any expenses that are unique to a particular voyage, including any fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions, are the responsibility of the customer, as long as the vessel is not off-hire.

Hire is typically invoiced monthly in advance for time charter contracts, based on a fixed daily hire amount. However, certain sources of variability exist. Those include penalties, such as those that relate to periods the vessels are off-hire and where minimum speed and performance metrics are not met. In addition, certain time charters contracts contain provisions that allow the Company to be compensated for increases in the Company’s costs during the term of the charter. Such provisions may be in the form of annual hire rate adjustments for changes in inflation indices or interest rates or in the form of cost reimbursements for vessel operating expenditures or dry-docking expenditures. Finally, in a small number of charters, the Company may earn profit share consideration, which occurs when actual spot tanker rates earned by the vessel exceed certain thresholds for a period of time. The Company does not engage in any specific tactics to minimize vessel residual value risk.

Voyage Charters
Voyage charters are charters for a specific voyage that are usually priced on a current or "spot" market rate. The performance obligations within a voyage charter contract, which will typically include the lease of the vessel to the charterer as well as the operation of the vessel, are satisfied as services are rendered over the duration of the voyage, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. In addition, any expenses that are unique to a particular voyage, including fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions, are the responsibility of the vessel owner. The Company’s voyage charters will normally contain a lease; however, judgment is necessary to determine whether this is the case based upon the decision-making rights the charterer has under the contract. Consideration for such contracts is fixed or variable, depending on certain conditions. Delays caused by the charterer result in additional consideration. Payment for the voyage is not due until the voyage is completed. The duration of a single voyage will typically be less than three months. As such, accrued revenue at the end of a period will be invoiced and paid in the subsequent period. The amount of accrued revenue at any point in time will depend on the percent completed of each voyage in progress as well as the freight rate agreed for those specific voyages. The Company does not engage in any specific tactics to minimize vessel residual value risk due to the short-term nature of the contracts.
Bareboat Charters
Pursuant to a bareboat charter, the Company charters a vessel to a customer for a fixed period of time, generally one year or more, at rates that are generally fixed. However, the customer is responsible for operation and maintenance of the vessel with its own crew as well as any expenses that are unique to a particular voyage, including any fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. If the vessel goes off-hire due to a mechanical issue or any other reason, the monthly hire received by the vessel owner is normally not impacted by such events. The performance obligations within a bareboat charter, which will include the lease of the vessel to the charterer, are satisfied over the duration of such contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of the lease. Hire is typically invoiced monthly in advance for bareboat charters, based on a fixed daily hire amount.

FPSO Contracts
Pursuant to an FPSO contract, the Company charters an FPSO unit to a customer for a period of time, generally more than one year. The performance obligations within an FPSO contract, which include the lease of the FPSO unit to the charterer as well as the operation of the FPSO unit, are satisfied as services are rendered over the duration of such contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. Hire is typically invoiced monthly in arrears, based on a fixed daily hire amount. In certain FPSO contracts, the Company is entitled to a lump sum amount due upon commencement of the contract and may also be entitled to termination fees if the contract is canceled early. While the fixed daily hire amount may be the same over the term of the FPSO contract, in some FPSO contracts, the fixed daily hire amount may increase or decrease over the duration of the FPSO contract. As a result of the Company accounting for compensation from such charters on a straight-line basis over the duration of the charter, FPSO contracts where revenue is recognized before the Company is entitled to such amounts under the FPSO contracts will result in the Company recognizing a contract asset and FPSO contracts where revenue is recognized after the Company is entitled to such amounts under the FPSO contracts will result in the Company recognizing deferred revenue.

Certain sources of consideration variability exist within FPSO contracts. Those include penalties, such as those that relate to periods where production on the FPSO unit is interrupted. In addition, certain FPSO contracts may contain provisions that allow the Company to be compensated for increases in the Company’s costs to operate the unit during the term of the contract. Such provisions may be in the form of annual hire rate adjustments for changes in inflation indices or in the form of cost reimbursements for vessel operating expenditures incurred. Finally, the Company may earn additional compensation from monthly production tariffs, which are based on the volume of oil produced, the price of oil, as well as other monthly or annual operational performance measures. Variable consideration of the Company's contracts is typically recognized as incurred as either such revenue is allocated and accounted for under lease accounting requirements or alternatively such consideration is allocated to distinct periods under a contract during which such variable consideration was incurred. Since June 2020, the Company no longer earns variable or tariff revenues from its FPSO contracts.

The Company does not engage in any specific tactics to minimize residual value risk. Given the uncertainty involved in oil field production estimates and the result impact on oil field life, FPSO contracts typically will include extension options or options to terminate early.

Management Fees and Other
The Company also generates revenue from the management and operation of vessels owned by third parties and by equity-accounted investments as well as providing corporate management services to such entities. Such services may include the arrangement of third-party goods and services for the vessel’s owner. The performance obligations within these contracts will typically consist of crewing, technical management, insurance and potentially commercial management. The performance obligations are satisfied concurrently and consecutively rendered over the duration of the management contract, as measured using the time that has elapsed from commencement of performance. Consideration for such contracts will generally consist of a fixed monthly management fee, plus the reimbursement of crewing costs for vessels being managed. Management fees are typically invoiced monthly.

Operating Leases
As at December 31, 2020, the minimum scheduled future rentals to be received by the Company in each of the next five years for the lease and non-lease elements related to time charters, bareboat charters and FPSO contracts that were accounted for as operating leases were approximately $573.8 million (2021), $440.0 million (2022), $333.5 million (2023), $259.3 million (2024) and $196.3 million (2025).

Minimum scheduled future revenues should not be construed to reflect total charter hire revenues for any of the years. Minimum scheduled future revenues do not include revenue generated from new contracts entered into after December 31, 2020, revenue from unexercised option periods of contracts that existed on December 31, 2020, revenue from vessels in the Company’s equity-accounted investments, or variable or contingent revenues. In addition, minimum scheduled future operating lease revenues presented in this paragraph have been reduced by estimated off-hire time for any periodic maintenance and do not reflect the impact of revenue sharing arrangements whereby time-charter revenues are shared with other revenue sharing arrangement participants. The amounts may vary given unscheduled future events such as vessel maintenance.

The net carrying amount of the vessels employed on time charter contracts, bareboat charter contracts and FPSO contracts that have been accounted for as operating leases at December 31, 2020, was $3.2 billion (2019 – $3.1 billion, 2018 – $3.4 billion). At December 31, 2020, the cost and accumulated depreciation of such vessels were $4.2 billion (2019 – $3.9 billion, 2018 – $4.3 billion) and $1.0 billion (2019 – $0.8 billion, 2018 – $0.8 billion), respectively.

Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases and Sales-Type Leases
On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into a bareboat charter with Britoil Limited (or BP), a subsidiary of BP p.l.c., for the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO for a period up to December 2030. BP may cancel the charter on six-months' notice. Under the terms of this charter, Teekay received a cash payment of approximately $67 million in April 2020 and will receive a nominal per day rate over the life of the contract and a lump sum payment at the end of the contract period, which is expected to cover the costs of recycling the FPSO unit in accordance with EU ship recycling regulations. The charter was classified and accounted for as a sales-type lease. Consequently, the Company recognized a net investment in sales-type lease of $81.9 million and an asset retirement obligation of $6.1 million, derecognized the carrying value of the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO and related customer contract, and recognized a gain of $44.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, which is reflected in gain on commencement of sales-type leases on the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2020. As at December 31, 2020, the net investment in sales-type lease was $14.8 million, with the majority of the reduction relating to the cash payment of $67 million received in April 2020.

Teekay LNG owns a 70% ownership interest in Teekay BLT Corporation (or the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture), which is a party to operating leases whereby the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture leases two LNG carriers (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers) to a third party, which in turn leases the vessels back to the joint venture. The time charters for the two Tangguh LNG carriers are accounted for as direct financing leases. The Tangguh LNG Carriers commenced their time charters with their charterers in 2009.

In addition, the 21-year charter contract for the Bahrain Spirit floating storage unit (or FSU) commenced in September 2018 and is accounted for as a direct finance lease.
In 2013, Teekay LNG acquired two LNG carriers, the WilPride and WilForce, from Norway-based Awilco LNG ASA (or Awilco) and chartered them back to Awilco on five- and four-year fixed-rate bareboat charter contracts, respectively, with Awilco holding fixed-price purchase obligations at the end of the charter contracts. These charter contracts were subsequently extended to February 2020, with the ownership of both vessels transferring to Awilco at the end of this extension. In addition, in October 2019, Awilco obtained credit approval for a financing facility that would provide the funds necessary for Awilco to fulfill its purchase obligation of the two LNG carriers. As a result, both vessels were derecognized and sales-type lease receivables were recognized based on the remaining amounts owing to Teekay LNG, including the purchase obligations. Teekay LNG recognized a gain of $14.3 million upon derecognition of the vessels for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was included in write-down and loss on sale of vessels in the Company's consolidated statements of loss (see Note 18). In January 2020, Awilco purchased both carriers from Teekay LNG and paid Teekay LNG the associated purchase obligation, deferred hire amounts and interest on deferred hire amounts, totaling $260.4 million relating to these two vessels.

As at December 31, 2020, estimated minimum lease payments to be received by the Company related to its direct financing leases and sales-type leases in each of the next five succeeding fiscal years were approximately $64.6 million (2021), $64.6 million (2022), $64.4 million (2023), $64.7 million (2024), $75.9 million (2025) and an aggregate of $446.3 million thereafter. The leases are scheduled to end between 2028 and 2039.

Contract Liabilities

The Company enters into certain customer contracts that result in situations where the customer will pay consideration upfront for performance to be provided in the following month or months. These receipts are contract liabilities and are presented as deferred revenue until performance is provided. As at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were contract liabilities of $30.7 million and $32.4 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recognized $32.4 million and $26.4 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the respective periods.
