Additionally, the Company recognized another $1.0 million of “Other operating income” consisting of the proceeds of a claim award related to the sale of one of the Company’s vessels, M/V “Manolis P”, for scrap in March 2020 that initially failed to be completed due to COVID-related reasons with the vessel finally being sold to another buyer within the second quarter of 2020.
