Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Rand Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a shipping company that, through its operating subsidiaries, is engaged in the operation of bulk carriers on the Great Lakes. Rand Acquisition Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on June 2, 2004 as a blank check company whose objective was to acquire an operating business. On March 3, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, LL Acquisition Corp., acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Lower Lakes Towing Ltd. (“Lower Lakes Towing”) from the shareholders of Lower Lakes Towing, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 2, 2005, by and among the Company, LL Acquisition Corp. and the stockholders of Lower Lakes Towing, as amended. Immediately following completion of the acquisition, and in conjunction therewith, LL Acquisition Corp. and Lower Lakes Towing were amalgamated under Canadian law and the shares of capital stock of Grand River Navigation Company, Inc. (“Grand River”) and Lower Lakes Transportation Company (“Lower Lakes Transportation”) owned by Lower Lakes Towing at the time of the amalgamation were transferred to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Rand LL Holdings Corp. (“Rand LL Holdings”). Upon completion of such transfer, the outstanding shares of Grand River not owned by Rand LL Holdings were redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Redemption Agreement, dated September 2, 2005, between Grand River and GR Holdings, Inc. Following completion of the foregoing transactions, as of March 3, 2006, each of Lower Lakes Towing, Grand River and Lower Lakes Transportation became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In conjunction with the foregoing transactions, as of March 3, 2006, the Company, formerly known as Rand Acquisition Corporation, changed its name to Rand Logistics, Inc. On February 4, 2011, Black Creek Shipping Company, Inc. (“Black Creek”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Black Creek Shipping Holding Company, Inc. (“Black Creek Holdings”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the parent corporation of Black Creek, were incorporated to acquire certain assets. On December 27, 2012, Lower Lakes Ship Repair Company Ltd. ("Lower Lakes Ship Repair"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lower Lakes Towing was incorporated under the laws of Canada. This subsidiary provides ship repair services exclusively for the Company. On March 11, 2014, Lower Lakes Towing (17) Ltd. ("Lower Lakes (17)"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lower Lakes Towing, was incorporated under the laws of Canada. Lower Lakes (17) owns the M. V. Manitoulin, a vessel placed in service in November 2015. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation and consolidation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and include the accounts of Rand Finance Corp. (“Rand Finance”), Rand LL Holdings and Black Creek Holdings, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the accounts of Lower Lakes Towing, Lower Lakes Transportation and Grand River, each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rand LL Holdings, Black Creek Shipping Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Black Creek Holdings, and Lower Lakes Ship Repair and Lower Lakes (17), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lower Lakes Towing. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Accounts receivable The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are amounts due from customers and other accounts receivable, including insurance and Harmonized Sales Tax refunds. The majority of accounts receivable are due within 30 to 60 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its assessment of their creditworthiness and past payment history. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Revenue and operating expenses recognition The Company generates revenues from freight billings under contracts of affreightment (voyage charters) generally on a rate per ton basis based on origin-destination and cargo carried. Voyage revenue is recognized ratably over the duration of a voyage, which average from 2 to 3 days, based on the relative transit time in each reporting period when the following conditions are met: the Company has a signed contract of affreightment, the contract price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Included in freight billings are other fees such as fuel surcharges and other freight surcharges, which represent pass-through charges to customers for toll fees, lockage fees and ice breaking fees paid to other parties. Fuel surcharges are recognized ratably over the duration of the voyage, while freight surcharges are recognized when the associated costs are incurred. Freight surcharges are less than 5% of total revenue for all periods presented. Marine operating costs included in vessel operating expenses such as crewing costs, fuel, tugs and insurance are recognized as incurred or consumed and thereby are recognized ratably in each reporting period. Repairs and maintenance and certain other insignificant costs are recognized as incurred. The Company subcontracts excess customer demand to other freight providers. Service to customers under such arrangements is transparent to the customer and no additional services are provided to customers. Consequently, revenues recognized for customers serviced by freight subcontractors are recognized on the same basis as described above. Costs for subcontracted freight providers, presented as “outside voyage charter fees” in the consolidated statements of operations, are recognized as incurred and therefore are recognized ratably over the voyage. The Company accounts for sales taxes imposed on its services on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, all revenues are presented on a gross basis. Vessel acquisitions Vessels are stated at cost, which consists of the purchase price and any material incremental expenditures incurred upon acquisition, such as initial repairs, improvements, delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earnings capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Significant financing costs incurred during the construction period of the vessels are also capitalized and included in the vessels' cost. Fuel and lubricant inventories Raw materials, fuel and certain operating supplies are accounted for on a first-in, first-out cost method (based on monthly averages). Raw materials and fuel are stated at the lower of actual cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Operating supplies are stated at actual cost or average cost and are recognized in expenses as they are consumed.
Intangible assets and goodwill Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, deferred financing costs, trademarks, trade names and customer relationships and contracts. Intangible assets are amortized as follows:
Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Property and equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation methods for property and equipment are as follows:
Impairment of fixed assets and finite-lived intangible assets Fixed assets (e.g. property and equipment) and finite-lived intangible assets (e.g. customer relationships and contracts) are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event that indicates the carrying value of such an asset or asset group (e.g. tugs and barges) might be no longer recoverable. Examples of such triggering events include, but are not limited to a significant disposal of a portion of such assets, an adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related asset(s), a significant decrease in the benefits realized from an acquired business, difficulties or delays in integrating the business, and a significant change in the operations of an acquired business. Once a triggering event has occurred, the recoverability test employed is based on whether the intent is to hold the asset(s) for continued use or to hold the asset(s) for sale. If the intent is to hold the asset(s) or group of asset(s) for continued use, the recoverability test involves a comparison of undiscounted cash flows excluding interest expense but including any proceeds from eventual disposition, against the carrying value of the asset(s) as an initial test. If the carrying value of such asset(s) exceeds the undiscounted cash flow, the carrying amount of the asset(s) would be deemed to be impaired. Impairment would then be measured as the difference between the fair value of the fixed or amortizing intangible asset and the carrying value of such asset(s). The Company generally determines fair value by using the discounted cash flow method. If the intent is to hold the asset(s) for sale and certain other criteria are met (i.e. the asset(s) can be disposed of currently, appropriate levels of authority have approved the sale and there is an actively pursuing buyer), the impairment test is a comparison of the asset’s carrying value to its fair value less costs to sell. To the extent that the carrying value is greater than the asset’s fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. The Company has determined that there were no adverse changes in our markets or other triggering events that could affect the valuation of our assets during the twelve month period ended March 31, 2016, and there are no assets held for sale as of March 31, 2016.
Evaluation of goodwill for impairment The Company annually reviews the carrying value of goodwill residing in its reporting units, to determine whether impairment may exist. The United States GAAP require that goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets be assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a three-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is to perform a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the next step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step of the goodwill impairment test identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimates of fair value of the Company’s two reporting units, which are the Company’s Canadian and U.S. operations (excluding the parent), are determined using various valuation techniques, primaily a discounted cash flow analysis and peer analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires various judgmental assumptions, including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s forecast and long-term estimates. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the third step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the third step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The third step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the existing assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. As of March 31, 2016, the Company conducted the qualitative assessment and determined that the fair value of its two reporting units 'was not more likely than not less than' their carrying amounts and the remaining two-step impairment testing was therefore not necessary. The Company has determined that there were no adverse changes in our markets or other triggering events that indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units was less than the carrying value of our reporting units during the twelve month period ended March 31, 2016. Drydock costs Drydock costs incurred during statutory Canadian and United States certification processes are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the benefit period, which is generally 60 months. Drydock costs include costs of work performed by third party shipyards and subcontractors and other direct expenses to complete the mandatory certification process. Repairs and maintenance The Company’s vessels require repairs and maintenance each year to ensure the fleet is operating efficiently during the shipping season. The majority of repairs and maintenance are completed in January, February, and March of each year when the vessels are not engaged in affreightment activities. The Company expenses such routine repairs and maintenance costs as incurred. Significant repairs to the Company’s vessels, such as major engine overhauls and major hull steel repairs, are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the upgrade or asset repaired.
Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of tax assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recognized, if necessary, to measure tax benefits to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that they will be realized. The Company classifies interest expense related to income tax liabilities, when applicable, as part of the interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations rather than income tax expense. To date, the Company has not incurred material interest expenses or penalties relating to assessed taxation amounts. The Company's primary U.S. state income tax jurisdictions are Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New York and its only international jurisdictions are Canada and its province of Ontario. The following table summarizes the open fiscal tax years for each major jurisdiction:
Foreign currency translation The Company uses the U.S. Dollar as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian Dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the respective month. Components of stockholders’ equity are translated at historical exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses resulting from translation are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, except for financial assets and liabilities designated in foreign currency, which are reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses and were insignificant during the periods presented. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include the assumptions used in determining the useful lives of long-lived assets, the assumptions used in determining whether assets are impaired, the assumptions used in determining the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets and the assumptions used in stock-based compensation awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Stock-based compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for all newly granted awards and awards modified, repurchased or cancelled based on fair value at the date of grant. Financial instruments The Company accounts for its foreign currency hedge contracts on its subordinated debt utilizing ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. All changes in the fair value of the contracts are recorded in earnings and the fair value of settlement costs to terminate the contract is included in current assets or current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Disclosure requirements of ASC 815 are presented in Note 22. Fair value of financial instruments ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820") defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAA{ and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the inputs to be used to estimate fair value. The three levels of inputs used are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The disclosure requirements of ASC 820 related to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are presented in Note 22. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 would have been effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of the new standard by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09, as subsequently amended, shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting. ASU 2016-11 rescinds several SEC Staff Announcements that are codified in Topic 605, including, among other items, guidance relating to accounting for shipping and handling fees and freight services.The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, that adopting this new accounting standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 also provides guidance related to the required disclosures as a result of management's evaluation. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this ASU will have, when adopted. Imputation of Interest - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This guidance requires that the debt issuance costs related to a recognized term debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and shall be applied retrospectively to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect this ASU will have, when adopted. 3. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued) Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be presented in the balance sheet as non-current. The Company early adopted this standard on a prospective basis as of fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. As a result, the Company reclassified deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities classified as current to non-current. The prior period has not been retrospectively adjusted. Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU revises the existing guidance related to leases by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, as well as additional disclosure regarding leasing arrangements. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including tax consequences, classification of awards, the option to recognize stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures as they occur, and the classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. |

INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES Loss before income taxes was derived from the following sources:
The components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes are as follows:
The total provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from that amount which would be computed by applying the U.S. Federal and Canadian income tax rates to income (loss) before provision for income taxes as follows:
The primary reason the effective income tax rate for fiscal 2016 is lower than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate is due to the Federal U.S. and foreign valuation allowances and imputed interest income. In November 2015, as discussed in Note 3, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17 that require deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current in the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the guidance during the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2016 and have applied a prospective approach. All deferred assets and liabilities will be classified as non-current beginning for the period ending March 31, 2016, and forward. The significant components of current deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2015 are as follows:
The significant components of long-term deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
The Company has net long term deferred tax liabilities of $241 ($349 as of March 31, 2015) in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and net long term deferred tax liabilities of $5,584 ($5,258 as of March 31, 2015) in Canadian jurisdictions. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, or when future deductibility is uncertain. Periodically, the valuation allowance is reviewed and adjusted based on management’s assessment of realizable deferred tax assets. The Company determined at March 31, 2014 that its U.S. federal net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carry-forwards, would not fully be utilized due to a cumulative break-even position over the prior three fiscal years, coupled with anticipated cumulative three year losses in the near future. As such, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against the net U.S. Federal deferred tax assets. The Company's position remains unchanged at March 31, 2016 as it relates to the U.S. federal net deferred tax assets, thus a full valuation allowance against the net U.S. Federal, net deferred tax assets continues in existence, resulting in an increase of the valuation allowance by $1,100 during the year ended March 31, 2016 and $2,614 during the year ended March 31, 2015. The Company determined at March 31, 2015 that the Canadian deferred income tax asset relating to non-capital losses on Lower Lakes Towing would be realized based on performance of the entity and the expected timing of the reversal of the deferred tax liabilities. The Company determined that the deferred income tax assets relating to capital losses and unrealized foreign exchange losses in Lower Lakes Towing would not be realized. As such, a full valuation allowance was recorded against capital losses and unrealized foreign exchange losses in Lower Lakes Towing. The Company also determined that the Canadian deferred income tax assets on Lower Lakes Ship Repair and Lower Lakes (17) would not be realized based on the uncertainty of future income. As such, a full valuation allowance was recorded against Lower Lakes Ship Repair's and Lower Lakes (17)'s deferred tax assets. The Company's position remains unchanged at March 31, 2016 as it relates to the Canadian net deferred tax assets.
For state tax purposes, the Company is in a small net deferred tax asset position of $99 before the consideration of the valuation allowance at March 31, 2016 and in a small net deferred tax liabilities position of $104 before the consideration of the valuation allowance at March 31, 2015. After the consideration of the reversing patterns of these liabilities on a separate jurisdiction basis, it is expected that a portion of these liabilities will reverse within the period of time available for existing deferred tax assets including net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company recorded a small valuation allowance against the U.S. state net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2016. At March 31, 2016, the Company had unused U.S. federal net operating loss carry-forwards totaling $60,536 that expire between fiscal 2020 and 2036, of which a small portion is subject to Internal Revenue Code section 382 annual limitations. At March 31, 2016, the Company also had unused Canadian net operating loss carry-forwards totaling CDN $16,136 that expire between fiscal 2027 and 2036. |

The effective interest rates at March 31, 2016 were 3.60% (3.75% at March 31, 2015) on the Canadian Revolving Facility and 3.37% (3.03% at March 31, 2015) on the U.S. Revolving Facility. On March 27, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as agent and lender, and certain other lenders party thereto. Lower Lakes, Lower Lakes Transportation, Grand River, and Black Creek are borrowers (the “Borrowers”) under the First Lien Credit Agreement. Black Creek, Lower Lakes Transportation, Grand River, Black Creek Holding, Rand LL Holdings and Rand Finance, each of which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company itself are guarantors of all United States and Canadian obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement (collectively, the “U.S. Guarantors”). Lower Lakes (17) and Lower Lakes Ship Repair are guarantors of all Canadian obligations under the First Lien Credit Agreement and are direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Canadian Guarantors”; and together with the U.S. Guarantors, the “Guarantors”). The proceeds of the First lien Credit Agreement were used to extinguish certain indebtedness, including the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Lower Lakes Towing, Lower Lakes Towing Transportation, Grand River and Black Creek Shipping, as borrowers, Rand LL Holdings, Rand Finance, Black Creek Holdings, Lower Lakes Ship Repair, Lower Lakes (17) and Rand, as guarantors, General Electric Capital Corporation, as agent and Lender, and certain other lenders and to provide working capital financing and funds for other general corporate and permitted purposes. The obligations are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, including a pledge of all or a portion of the equity interests of the Borrowers and the Guarantors. The security interests are evidenced by pledge, security and guaranty agreements and other related agreements, including certain fleet mortgages.
The credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”) under the First Lien Credit Agreement consist of:
•A revolving credit facility under which Lower Lakes Transportation, Grand River and Black Creek may borrow up to USD $90,000 with a final maturity date of September 30, 2019 (the “U.S. Revolving Facility”);
•A swing line facility under which Lower Lakes Transportation, Grand River and Black Creek may borrow lesser of up to USD $9,000 and the maximum borrowing availability less the outstanding balance of the U.S. revolving line at such time, with a final maturity date of September 30, 2019 (the “U.S. Swing Line Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facilities will bear interest, in each case plus an applicable margin, as follows:
•Canadian Swing Line Facility: the Canadian Prime Rate or, at the borrower’s option, the Canadian Base Rate; and •U.S. Swing Line Facility: the US Base Rate. The applicable margin to the BA Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, Canadian Base Rate, US Base Rate and the LIBOR Rate is subject to specified changes depending on the Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement). The Borrowers will also pay a monthly commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.25% on the undrawn committed amount available under the Canadian Revolving Facility and the U.S. Revolving Facility (the “Revolving Facilities”), which rate shall increase to 0.375% in the event the undrawn committed amount is greater than or equal to 50% of the aggregate committed amount under the Revolving Facilities. Any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities are due at maturity. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Borrowers will be required to make principal repayments on amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities from the net proceeds of specified types of asset sales, debt issuances and equity offerings. No such transactions have occurred as of March 31, 2016. The First Lien Credit Agreement contains certain negative covenants, including those limiting the Guarantors’, the Borrowers’, and their subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of their businesses, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, the First Lien Credit Agreement requires the Borrowers to maintain certain financial ratios. The First Lien Credit Agreement also contains affirmative covenants and events of default, including payment defaults, covenant defaults and cross defaults. If an event of default occurs, the agent would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the outstanding Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2015, Rand was not in compliance with certain covenants contained in the First Lien Credit Agreement. On February 9, 2016, Rand and the lenders entered into an Amendment No. 1 and Waiver Agreement pursuant to which certain covenant breaches were waived by the lenders. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with covenants contained in the First Lien Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had credit availability of USD $50,647 on the Credit Facilities based on eligible receivables and vessel collateral value. |

SUBORDINATED DEBT | SUBORDINATED DEBT
The effective interest rates at March 31, 2016 were 10.75% (10.75% at March 31, 2015) on the Second Lien CDN Term Loan and 10.75% (10.75% at March 31, 2015) on the Second Lien U.S. Term Loan. On March 11, 2014, Lower Lakes Towing, Grand River and Black Creek, as borrowers, Rand LL Holdings, Rand Finance, Black Creek Holdings and the Company, as guarantors, Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC, as agent and Lender, and certain other lenders, entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended on April 11, 2014 and March 27, 2015, the "Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement”), which provided term loans to (i) partially repay outstanding indebtedness of borrowers under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (ii) partially pay the acquisition and conversion costs for a new vessel, (iii) pay accrued but unpaid dividends due on our series A convertible preferred stock and (iv) provide working capital financing, funds for other general corporate purposes and funds for other permitted purposes. The Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement initially provided for (i) a U.S. Dollar denominated term loan facility under which Lower Lakes was obligated to the lenders in the amount of $34,200 (the “Second Lien CDN Term Loan”), (ii) a U.S. dollar denominated term loan facility under which Grand River and Black Creek were obligated to the Lenders in the amount of $38,300 (the “Second Lien U.S. Term Loan”) and (iii) an uncommitted incremental term loan facility of up to $32,500. On September 28, 2015, the Company added $5,626 to the Second Lien CDN Term loan to fund certain shipyard payments in connection with the conversion of an acquired vessel to a self-unloader vessel (see Note 11). The outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien CDN Term Loan borrowings and the Second Lien U.S. Term Loan borrowings will be repayable upon their maturity on March 11, 2020. The Second Lien CDN Term Loan and Second Lien U.S. Term Loan bear an interest rate per annum at borrowers’ option, equal to (i) LIBOR (as defined in the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement) plus 9.50% per annum, or (ii) the U.S. Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement), plus 8.50% per annum. Obligations under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement are secured by the first-priority liens and security interests in substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and the guarantors, including a pledge of all or a portion of the equity interests of the borrowers and the guarantors. The indebtedness of each domestic borrower under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement is unconditionally guaranteed by each other domestic borrower and by the guarantors which are domestic subsidiaries, and such guaranty is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of each borrower and each guarantor. Each domestic borrower also guarantees the obligations of the Canadian borrower and each Canadian guarantor guarantees the obligations of the Canadian borrower. Under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below), the borrowers will be required to make mandatory prepayments of principal on term loan borrowings (i) in the event of certain dispositions of assets and insurance proceeds (all subject to certain exceptions), in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds received by the borrowers therefrom, and (ii) in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds to a borrower from any issuance of a borrower’s debt or equity securities (all subject to certain exceptions). The Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including those limiting the guarantors, the borrowers, and their subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness, incur liens, sell or acquire assets or businesses, change the nature of their businesses, engage in transactions with related parties, make certain investments or pay dividends. In addition, the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement requires the borrowers to maintain certain financial ratios. Failure of the borrowers or the guarantors to comply with any of these covenants or financial ratios could result in the loans under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement being accelerated. The obligations of the borrowers and the liens of the lenders under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement are subject to the terms of an Intercreditor Agreement, which is further described below under the heading “Intercreditor Agreement”. 15. SUBORDINATED DEBT (continued) On April 11, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Amended Second Lien Agreement. The First Amendment extended the due date of certain post-closing deliverables. In connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement described above, on March 27, 2015 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement”). The Second Amendment conformed certain provisions of the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement to the First Lien Credit Agreement, reduced the uncommitted incremental facility to $22,500, and also amended certain other covenants and terms thereof. As of December 31, 2015, Rand was not in compliance with certain covenants contained in the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement. On February 9, 2016, Rand and the lenders entered into a Third Amendment and Waiver Under Term Loan Credit Agreement pursuant to which certain covenant breaches were waived by the lenders. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with covenants contained in the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement. Intercreditor Agreement In connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement described above, on March 27, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Credit Parties") entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement (the “First Lien Lenders”) and Guggenheim Corporate Funding, LLC, as agent for the lenders under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Lenders”). Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Lenders have agreed to subordinate the obligations of the Credit Parties to them to the repayment of the obligations of the Credit Parties to the First Lien Lenders and have further agreed to subordinate their liens on the assets of the Credit Parties to the liens granted in favor of the First Lien Lenders. Absent the occurrence of an Event of Default under the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Lenders are permitted to receive regularly scheduled principal and interest payments under the Amended Second Lien Credit Agreement. |

Loss Contingency [Abstract] | |
CONTINGENCIES | CONTINGENCIES The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings which management expects to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, nor is the Company aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened which management believes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. From time to time, the Company may be subject to ordinary routine litigation and claim incidental to the business involving principally commercial charter party disputes, and claims for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. Those claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. It is expected that larger claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles, if they involve liabilities that may arise from collision , other marine casualty, damage to cargoes, oil pollution, death or personal injuries to crew. The Company evaluates the need for loss accruals under the requirements of ASC 450 – Contingencies. The Company records an estimated loss for any claim, lawsuit, investigation or proceeding when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate, then the Company records the minimum amount in the range as the loss accrual. If a loss is not probable or a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no liability is recorded. As of March 31, 2016, an accrual of $305 ($247 as of March 31, 2015) was recorded for various claims. Management believes that it has recorded adequate reserves and believes that it has adequate insurance coverage or has meritorious defenses for these claims. |

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY On September 21, 2011, the Company completed a public underwritten offering of 2,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for $6.00 per share. The Company’s proceeds from the offering, net of underwriter’s commissions and expenses, were $15,525. On February 11, 2011, in connection with the Company's acquisition of two vessels, the Company issued 1,305,963 shares of the Company’s common stock to the seller of such vessels. Such shares were valued at $5.175, the average high and low per share price on that day.

On March 3, 2006, the Company issued 300,000 shares of series A convertible preferred stock. The shares of the Company's series A convertible preferred stock: rank senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to liquidation and dividends; are entitled to receive a cash dividend at the annual rate of 7.75% (based on the $50 per share issue price) payable quarterly (subject to increases of 0.5% for each six month period in respect of which the dividend is not timely paid, up to a maximum of 12%, subject to reversion to 7.75% upon payment of all accrued and unpaid dividends); are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the series A preferred stockholder at a conversion price of $6.20 per share (based on the $50 per share issue price and subject to adjustment) or 8.065 shares of common stock for each series A convertible preferred share (subject to adjustment); are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (based on a conversion price of $6.20 per share, subject to adjustment) at the option of the Company if, after the third anniversary of the acquisition, the trading price of the Company’s common stock for 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period equals or exceeds $8.50 per share (subject to adjustment); may be redeemed by the Company in connection with certain change of control or acquisition transactions; will vote on an as-converted basis with the Company’s common stock; and have a separate vote over certain material transactions or changes involving the Company.

Since January 2007, share-based compensation has been granted to management and directors from time to time. The Company had no surviving, outstanding share-based compensation agreements with employees or directors prior to that date except as described below. The Company has reserved 2,500,000 shares for issuance under the Company’s 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) to employees, officers, directors and consultants. At March 31, 2016, a total of 267,785 shares (429,634 shares at March 31, 2015) were available under the LTIP for future awards. The following table summarizes shares issued to officers under employment agreements and restricted stock agreements from time to time.
For all share-based compensation, as employees and directors render service over the vesting periods, expense is recorded in general and administrative expenses. Share capital and additional paid-in capital are increased on the grant date with an offset to prepaid assets. Grant date fair value for all non-option share-based compensation is the average of the high and low trading prices on the date of grant. 18. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued) The general characteristics of share-based awards granted under the LTIP through March 31, 2016 are as follows: Stock Awards - All of the shares issued to non-employee outside directors vest immediately. The first award to non-employee outside directors in the amount of 12,909 shares was made on February 13, 2008 for services through March 31, 2008. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, the Company awarded 15,948 shares for services from April 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Company awarded 92,167 shares for services provided from April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016. Grant date fair market value for all these awards is the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. On July 31, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized management to make payments effective as of that date to the participants in the management bonus program. Pursuant to the terms of the management bonus program, the Company issued 478,232 shares of common stock to such employee participants. On October 27, 2015, the Company issued 111,025 shares to two executives pursuant to the terms of their severance agreements. Stock Options - Stock options granted to management employees vest over three years in equal annual installments. All options issued through March 31, 2016 expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock option grant date fair values are determined at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, a closed-form fair value model based on exercise price and market prices at the date of grant and other assumptions. At each grant date the Company has estimated a dividend yield of 0%. The weighted average risk free interest rate within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant, which was 4.14% for the fiscal 2009 (July 2008) grant and 0.80% to 1.60% for the fiscal 2016 grant. Expected volatility was 39.49% for the fiscal 2009 grant and 33.5% to 37.2%. for the fiscal 2016 grant. All of the stock options granted in February 2008 (243,199) and July 2008 (236,586), had vested as of March 31, 2016. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 306,766 options expired. Options outstanding (363,019) at March 31, 2016 had a remaining weighted average contractual life of approximately two years and four months. 18. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued) The Company recorded compensation expenses related to such stock options of $31 for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2016 and $Nil for March 31, 2015. None of the outstanding stock options were in-the-money as of March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015.
Shares issued under Employees’ Retirement Savings Plans - The Company issued an aggregate of 204,336 shares to the individual retirement plans of all eligible Canadian employees under the LTIP from July 1, 2009 through March 31, 2016. The Canadian employees’ plans are managed by independent brokerages. These shares vested immediately but are subject to the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. The shares were issued using the fair value share price, as defined by the LTIP, as of the first trading day of each month for that previous period’s accrued expense. The Company granted $Nil of equity of such accrued compensation expense for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. 18. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued) Shares issued in lieu of cash compensation - The Company experienced a decrease in customer demand at the beginning of the 2009 sailing season and in an effort to maximize the Company’s liquidity, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors requested that five of the Company’s executive officers and all of its outside directors receive common stock as compensation in lieu of cash until the Company had better visibility about its outlook. As of November 16, 2009, the Company issued 158,325 shares to such officers and all of its outside directors at the average of the high and low sale prices of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The shares were issued under the LTIP and vested immediately. Beginning the third quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, such executives' and outside directors’ compensation reverted back to cash. On September 16, 2010, the Company issued 15,153 shares to a key executive for payment of the fiscal year 2010 bonus at the average of the high and low sale prices of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The shares were issued under the LTIP and vested immediately. On February 15, 2013, the Company issued 94,993 shares to eligible Canadian and U.S. employees for a bonus at the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The shares were issued under the LTIP and vested immediately. On December 8, 2015, the Company issued 61,622 shares to eligible Canadian and U.S. employees for incentive compensation at the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Restricted Stock Units - On June 27, 2014, the Company issued 30,050 Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) to eligible U.S. and Canadian employees under the LTIP. Each RSU represents one share of the Company's common stock. The grant date fair value of each RSU was $5.99, which represents the average of the high and low sale prices of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. One-third of the RSUs vest on March 31 of each year, beginning on March 31, 2015. RSUs are not entitled to dividends or voting rights, if any, until the underlying shares of common stock are delivered. The total compensation cost of this grant is $204, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of the RSU awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recorded expense of $57 for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2016 and $63 for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2015. On the first vesting date of March 31, 2015, 10,559 shares vested. On the second vesting date of March 31, 2016, 8,905 shares vested. 18. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued)

Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value of financial instruments Financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, senior and subordinated debts, a deferred payment liability and accrued liabilities. The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate book values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments. The estimated fair value of senior and subordinated debt approximates the carrying value as the debt bears interest at variable interest rates, which are based on rates for similar debt with similar credit rates in the open market. The deferred payment liabilities are valued based on the interest rate of similar debt in the open market. Commencing August 2014, the Company entered into rolling foreign currency hedge contracts of various amounts to mitigate currency fluctuation risk on its subordinated U.S. dollar denominated debt owed by Lower Lakes Towing. Fair value guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table provides the fair value of the foreign currency hedge contracts measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015:
The foreign currency hedge contracts are measured at fair value using available rates on the similar instruments and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. These contracts are accounted for using the mark-to-market accounting method as if they were terminated at the day of valuation. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended March 31, 2016. The Company recorded a payable of $268 as of March 31, 2016 for the foreign currency hedge contract on the Company’s U.S. dollar denominated subordinated debt owed by Lower Lakes. For the year ended March 31, 2016, the fair value adjustments of the foreign currency hedge contract resulted in a gain of $795 ($4,119 for the year ended March 31, 2015). This gain is included in the Company’s earnings and the fair value of settlement costs to terminate the contract is included in current liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. 22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) The following table sets forth the fair value of the foreign currency hedge instruments as of the dates set forth below:
The Company has not designated this contract as a hedging instrument. The changes in fair value of the foreign currency hedge contracts are recorded in earnings as follows:
Foreign exchange risk Foreign currency exchange risk to the Company results primarily from changes in exchange rates between the Company’s reporting currency, the U.S. Dollar, and the Canadian dollar. As discussed above, in August 2014, the Company commenced entering into rolling foreign currency hedge contracts to mitigate currency fluctuation risk on its U.S. dollar denominated subordinated debt owed by Lower Lakes. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange as a significant portion of revenue and operating expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars. Interest rate risk The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates as a result of its banking facilities and senior debt bearing variable interest rates. In December 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate cap contracts covering 50% of its then outstanding term debt on the date of such contracts at a cap of three month LIBOR at 2.5% on its U.S. Term Debt borrowings and a cap of three month BA rates at 3.0% on its Canadian Term Debt borrowings. The notional amount on each of these instruments decreased with each scheduled principal payment of the term loan under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, notwithstanding the termination of such agreement. The interest rate cap contracts terminated on December 1, 2015. Credit risk Accounts receivable credit risk is mitigated by the diversification of the Company’s customers among industries and the short shipping season. 22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Liquidity risk Tightened credit in financial markets or an economic downturn in certain of our markets may adversely affect the ability of the Company’s customers and suppliers to obtain financing for significant operations and purchases and to perform their obligations under agreements with the Company. A tightening of credit could (i) result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, existing business, (ii) limit new business, (iii) negatively impact the Company’s ability to collect accounts receivable on a timely basis and (iv) affect the eligible receivables that are collateral for the Company’s lines of credit. Excluding vessel acquisitions or major vessel conversion contracts, the Company makes seasonal net incremental borrowings under its Credit Agreement during the first quarter of each fiscal year to fund working capital needed to commence the sailing season. Such borrowings are then reduced during the second half of each fiscal year. |

Revenue and operating expenses recognition | Revenue and operating expenses recognition The Company generates revenues from freight billings under contracts of affreightment (voyage charters) generally on a rate per ton basis based on origin-destination and cargo carried. Voyage revenue is recognized ratably over the duration of a voyage, which average from 2 to 3 days, based on the relative transit time in each reporting period when the following conditions are met: the Company has a signed contract of affreightment, the contract price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Included in freight billings are other fees such as fuel surcharges and other freight surcharges, which represent pass-through charges to customers for toll fees, lockage fees and ice breaking fees paid to other parties. Fuel surcharges are recognized ratably over the duration of the voyage, while freight surcharges are recognized when the associated costs are incurred. Freight surcharges are less than 5% of total revenue for all periods presented. Marine operating costs included in vessel operating expenses such as crewing costs, fuel, tugs and insurance are recognized as incurred or consumed and thereby are recognized ratably in each reporting period. Repairs and maintenance and certain other insignificant costs are recognized as incurred. The Company subcontracts excess customer demand to other freight providers. Service to customers under such arrangements is transparent to the customer and no additional services are provided to customers. Consequently, revenues recognized for customers serviced by freight subcontractors are recognized on the same basis as described above. Costs for subcontracted freight providers, presented as “outside voyage charter fees” in the consolidated statements of operations, are recognized as incurred and therefore are recognized ratably over the voyage. The Company accounts for sales taxes imposed on its services on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, all revenues are presented on a gross basis. |

Vessel acquisitions | Vessel acquisitions Vessels are stated at cost, which consists of the purchase price and any material incremental expenditures incurred upon acquisition, such as initial repairs, improvements, delivery expenses and other expenditures to prepare the vessel for its initial voyage. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earnings capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Significant financing costs incurred during the construction period of the vessels are also capitalized and included in the vessels' cost. |
||||||||||||||||
Fuel and lubricant inventories | Fuel and lubricant inventories Raw materials, fuel and certain operating supplies are accounted for on a first-in, first-out cost method (based on monthly averages). Raw materials and fuel are stated at the lower of actual cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Operating supplies are stated at actual cost or average cost and are recognized in expenses as they are consumed. |
||||||||||||||||
Intangible assets and goodwill | Intangible assets and goodwill Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, deferred financing costs, trademarks, trade names and customer relationships and contracts. Intangible assets are amortized as follows:
Deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. |

Impairment of fixed assets and finite-lived intangible assets | Impairment of fixed assets and finite-lived intangible assets Fixed assets (e.g. property and equipment) and finite-lived intangible assets (e.g. customer relationships and contracts) are tested for impairment upon the occurrence of a triggering event that indicates the carrying value of such an asset or asset group (e.g. tugs and barges) might be no longer recoverable. Examples of such triggering events include, but are not limited to a significant disposal of a portion of such assets, an adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related asset(s), a significant decrease in the benefits realized from an acquired business, difficulties or delays in integrating the business, and a significant change in the operations of an acquired business. Once a triggering event has occurred, the recoverability test employed is based on whether the intent is to hold the asset(s) for continued use or to hold the asset(s) for sale. If the intent is to hold the asset(s) or group of asset(s) for continued use, the recoverability test involves a comparison of undiscounted cash flows excluding interest expense but including any proceeds from eventual disposition, against the carrying value of the asset(s) as an initial test. If the carrying value of such asset(s) exceeds the undiscounted cash flow, the carrying amount of the asset(s) would be deemed to be impaired. Impairment would then be measured as the difference between the fair value of the fixed or amortizing intangible asset and the carrying value of such asset(s). The Company generally determines fair value by using the discounted cash flow method. If the intent is to hold the asset(s) for sale and certain other criteria are met (i.e. the asset(s) can be disposed of currently, appropriate levels of authority have approved the sale and there is an actively pursuing buyer), the impairment test is a comparison of the asset’s carrying value to its fair value less costs to sell. To the extent that the carrying value is greater than the asset’s fair value less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. The Company has determined that there were no adverse changes in our markets or other triggering events that could affect the valuation of our assets during the twelve month period ended March 31, 2016, and there are no assets held for sale as of March 31, 2016. |
||||||||||||||||
Impairment of goodwill | Evaluation of goodwill for impairment The Company annually reviews the carrying value of goodwill residing in its reporting units, to determine whether impairment may exist. The United States GAAP require that goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangible assets be assessed annually for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a three-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is to perform a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, then entities are required to perform the next step of the goodwill impairment test. The second step of the goodwill impairment test identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimates of fair value of the Company’s two reporting units, which are the Company’s Canadian and U.S. operations (excluding the parent), are determined using various valuation techniques, primaily a discounted cash flow analysis and peer analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires various judgmental assumptions, including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s forecast and long-term estimates. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the third step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the third step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The third step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the existing assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. As of March 31, 2016, the Company conducted the qualitative assessment and determined that the fair value of its two reporting units 'was not more likely than not less than' their carrying amounts and the remaining two-step impairment testing was therefore not necessary. The Company has determined that there were no adverse changes in our markets or other triggering events that indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units was less than the carrying value of our reporting units during the twelve month period ended March 31, 2016. |

Drydock costs | Drydock costs Drydock costs incurred during statutory Canadian and United States certification processes are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the benefit period, which is generally 60 months. Drydock costs include costs of work performed by third party shipyards and subcontractors and other direct expenses to complete the mandatory certification process. |
||||||||||||||||
Repairs and maintenance | Repairs and maintenance The Company’s vessels require repairs and maintenance each year to ensure the fleet is operating efficiently during the shipping season. The majority of repairs and maintenance are completed in January, February, and March of each year when the vessels are not engaged in affreightment activities. The Company expenses such routine repairs and maintenance costs as incurred. Significant repairs to the Company’s vessels, such as major engine overhauls and major hull steel repairs, are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the upgrade or asset repaired. |
||||||||||||||||
Income taxes | Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of tax assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recognized, if necessary, to measure tax benefits to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that they will be realized. The Company classifies interest expense related to income tax liabilities, when applicable, as part of the interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations rather than income tax expense. To date, the Company has not incurred material interest expenses or penalties relating to assessed taxation amounts. The Company's primary U.S. state income tax jurisdictions are Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New York and its only international jurisdictions are Canada and its province of Ontario. The following table summarizes the open fiscal tax years for each major jurisdiction:

Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements include the assumptions used in determining the useful lives of long-lived assets, the assumptions used in determining whether assets are impaired, the assumptions used in determining the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets and the assumptions used in stock-based compensation awards. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Fair value of financial instruments | Fair value of financial instruments ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ("ASC 820") defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAA{ and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the inputs to be used to estimate fair value. The three levels of inputs used are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The disclosure requirements of ASC 820 related to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are presented in Note 22. |

Recently issued pronouncements | Revenue from Contracts with Customers In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 would have been effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date of the new standard by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09, as subsequently amended, shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting. ASU 2016-11 rescinds several SEC Staff Announcements that are codified in Topic 605, including, among other items, guidance relating to accounting for shipping and handling fees and freight services.The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, that adopting this new accounting standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 also provides guidance related to the required disclosures as a result of management's evaluation. The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of this ASU will have, when adopted. Imputation of Interest - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This guidance requires that the debt issuance costs related to a recognized term debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and shall be applied retrospectively to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect this ASU will have, when adopted. 3. RECENTLY ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued) Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be presented in the balance sheet as non-current. The Company early adopted this standard on a prospective basis as of fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. As a result, the Company reclassified deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities classified as current to non-current. The prior period has not been retrospectively adjusted. Leases (Topic 842) In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This ASU revises the existing guidance related to leases by requiring lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, as well as additional disclosure regarding leasing arrangements. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 simplifies certain aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including tax consequences, classification of awards, the option to recognize stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures as they occur, and the classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. |
