These customers are typically large international shipping lines that have been in business for many years and have world-class operating capabilities and significant financial resources. In most cases, the entity has had a long commercial relationship with these customers and currently maintains regular communication with them at several levels of management, which provides the entity with insight into the customer's current operating and financial performance. In the entity's view, these customers have the greatest ability to withstand cyclical down turns and would likely have greater access to needed capital than lower-rated customers. The entity views the risk of default for Tier 1 customers to range from minimal to modest.
Tier 1 [Member]
These customers are typically either smaller shipping lines or freight forwarders with less operating scale or with a high degree of financial leverage, and accordingly the entity views these customers as subject to higher volatility in financial performance over the business cycle. The entity generally expects these customers to have less access to capital markets or other sources of financing during cyclical down turns. The entity views the risk of default for Tier 2 customers as moderate.
Tier 2 [Member]
Customers in this category exhibit volatility in payments on a regular basis. The entity has initiated or implemented plans to recover equipment on lease to these customers and believes that default is likely, or has already occurred
