During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company installed ballast water treatment system (“BWTS”)on five of its vessels amounting to an addition of approximately $1.1 million (absolute amount).

 

Impairment of non-financial assets: The Company performed an impairment assessment as at March 31, 2020 on whether there were indicators that a vessel(s) may be impaired and concluded that impairment indicators existed for all vessels. As at December 31, 2020, the Company performed an assessment on whether there were indicators that a vessel(s) may be impaired and impairment indicators were identified for two of the Company’s vessels. As impairment indicators were identified during 2020, discounted future cash flows for each vessel with impairment indicators were determined and compared to the vessel’s carrying value. For the discount factor, the Company applied the Weighted Average Cost of Capital rate that was calculated to be 4.06% as at December 31, 2020. The projected net discounted future cash flows for the first year were determined by considering an estimated daily time charter equivalent based on the most recent blended (for modern and older vessels) FFA (i.e. Forward Freight Agreements) time charter rate for the fiscal year 2021 for each type of vessel. For the remaining useful life of the vessels, the Company used the historical ten-year blended average one-year time charter rates substituting for the year 2016 that was considered as extreme values, with the year 2010. Expected outflows for scheduled vessels maintenance were taken into consideration as well as vessel operating expenses assuming an average annual increase rate of 1% based on the historical trend derived from actual results for the Company’s vessels since their delivery under the Company’s technical management. The average time charter rates used were in line with the overall chartering strategy, especially in periods/years of depressed charter rates; reflecting the full operating history of vessels of the same type and particulars with the Company’s operating fleet (Supramax and Panamax vessels with a deadweight (“dwt”) of over 50,000 and 70,000, respectively) and they covered at least one full business cycle. Effective fleet utilization was assumed at 87% and 90% (including ballast days) for the Supramaxes and the Panamaxes, respectively taking into account the period(s) each vessel is expected to undergo her scheduled maintenance (dry-docking and special surveys), as well as an estimate of the period(s) needed for finding suitable employment and off-hire for reasons other than scheduled maintenance, assumptions in line with the Company’s expectations for future fleet utilization under the current fleet deployment strategy.

 

As at March 31, 2020, the Company concluded that the recoverable amounts of the vessels were lower than their carrying amounts and recognized an impairment loss of $4,615. As at December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that no additional impairment loss should be recognized.

  

The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2020, analyzed by vessel is as follows:
