The Company evaluates these legal matters on a case-by-case basis to make a determination as to the impact, if any, on its business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. In March 2021, the U.S. government began investigating an allegation that one of our vessels may have improperly disposed of ballast water that entered the engine room bilges during a repair.

We have posted a surety bond as security for any fines or penalties that may be issued, and the Company is cooperating fully with the U.S. government in its investigation of this matter. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred and recorded $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, as Other operating expense relating to this incident, which include legal fees, surety bond expenses, vessel offhire, crew changes and travel costs.
