Capital leases [Abstract] |
Capital Lease Obligations | On March 28, 2013 two of ASC’s subsidiaries entered into an agreement for the sale and leaseback (under a capital lease arrangement) of the Ardmore Calypso and Ardmore Capella . The capital lease arrangement was executed on April 2, 2013. This transaction is treated as a financing transaction. As part of this arrangement the senior debt outstanding on the vessels was repaid in full on April 2, 2013. The amount repaid was $17.9 million. The capital lease is scheduled to expire in 2018 and includes a mandatory purchase obligation to repurchase the vessels. ASC’s subsidiary, Ardmore Shipholding Limited, has provided a guarantee in respect of this financing arrangement.
