Voyage revenue

 

The Company enters into time charter arrangements on its vessels. As at December 31, 2023, the non-cancellable arrangements had remaining terms between nil days to eight months, assuming redelivery at the earliest possible date. As at December 31, 2022, the non-cancellable arrangements had remaining terms between nil days to eight months, assuming redelivery at the earliest possible date. Future net minimum lease revenues receivable under non-cancellable operating leases as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows (vessel off-hires and dry-docking days that could occur but are not currently known are not taken into consideration and early delivery of the vessels by the charterers is not accounted for):

 

 

  2023   2022
Within one year 8,060   6,675
Total 8,060   6,675

 

 

These amounts include consideration for other elements of the arrangement apart from the right to use the vessel such as maintenance and crewing and its related costs.

 

For time charters that qualify as leases, the Company is required to disclose lease and non-lease components of lease revenue. The revenue earned under time charters is not negotiated in its two separate components, but as a whole. For purposes of determining the standalone selling price of the vessel lease and technical management service components of the Company’s time charters, the Company concluded that the residual approach would be the most appropriate method to use given that vessel lease rates are highly variable depending on shipping market conditions, the duration of such charters and the age of the

vessel. The Company believes that the standalone transaction price attributable to the technical management service component, including crewing services, is more readily determinable than the price of the lease component and, accordingly, the price of the service component is estimated using data provided by its technical department, which consist of the crew expenses, maintenance and consumable costs and was approximately $16,473 and $18,451 for year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The lease component that is disclosed then is calculated as the difference between total revenue and the non-lease component revenue and was $14,367 and $42,939 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The interest expense on lease liability for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, was $28, $54 and $52, respectively, and recognized under interest expense and finance costs in the income statement component of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

 

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the current lease liability amounted to $188 and $321, respectively. The non-current lease liability amounted to nil and $188, respectively. As at December 31, 2023, and 2022, the net carrying amount of the right of use asset was $182, and $493, respectively. These are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. The total cash outflows for leases for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, were approximately $349, $341 and $314, respectively, and were recognized in the consolidated statement of cash flows under the Payment of lease liability – principal and Interest Paid.
