Impairment Loss on Vessels
 
The Company recorded impairment loss on vessels of $nil, $nil and $12.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of each of its vessels may not be recoverable. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company performed impairment tests at each quarter end. Impairment tests performed did not result in carrying value for any of the Company’s vessels exceeding future undiscounted cash flows.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company identified one vessel where the Company believed that future undiscounted cash flow was less than the carrying value and therefore not fully recoverable. The impairment loss recorded is equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and estimated fair value.
