VOYAGE REVENUE

10 – VOYAGE REVENUES

Total voyage revenues include revenue earned on fixed rate time charters, spot market voyage charters and spot market-related time charters, as well as the sale of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company earned $74,206 and $83,550 of voyage revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company earned $172,542 and $177,014 of voyage revenue, respectively.

Revenue for spot market voyage charters is recognized ratably over the total transit time of the voyage which begins when the vessel arrives at the loading port and ends at the time the discharge of cargo is completed at the discharge port in accordance with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Spot market voyage charter agreements do not provide the charterers with substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used, therefore revenue from spot market voyage charters is not within the scope of ASC 842 — Leases (“ASC 842”). Additionally, the Company has identified that the contract fulfillment costs of spot market voyage charters consist primarily of the fuel consumption that is incurred by the Company from the latter of the end of the previous vessel employment and the contract date until the arrival at the loading port in addition to any port expenses incurred prior to arrival at the load port, as well as any charter hire expenses for third-party vessels that are chartered in. The fuel consumption and any port expenses incurred prior to arrival at the load port are capitalized and recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized ratably over the total transit time of the voyage from arrival at the loading port until the vessel departs from the discharge port and expensed as part of Voyage Expenses. Similarly, for any third party vessels that are chartered in, the charter hire expenses during this period are capitalized and recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized and expensed as part of Charter hire expenses.

During time charter agreements, including fixed rate time charters and spot market-related time charters, the charterers have substantive decision-making rights to direct how and for what purpose the vessel is used. As such, the Company has identified that time charter agreements contain a lease in accordance with ASC 842. During time charter agreements, the Company is responsible for operating and maintaining the vessels. These costs are recorded as vessel operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation. The Company has elected the practical expedient that allows the Company to combine lease and non-lease components under ASC 842 as the Company believes (1) the timing and pattern of recognizing revenues for operating the vessel is the same as the timing and pattern of recognizing vessel leasing revenue; and (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
