The amending agreement removed the condition precedent relating to the full repayment of the outstanding loan due from Box Ships before the drawdown of the undrawn portion of the facility. In addition, the undrawn portion of the facility relating to the M/V Priceless Seas and Hull no. 625 was amended to be the lower of $25,394,427 (decreased from $33,802,880) and an amount equal to 65% of the aggregate fair value of the respective vessels and the already mortgaged vessels, the M/V Prosperous Seas and the M/V Precious, less the outstanding loan amount prior to the proposed drawdown date. Under the facility, the Company is only permitted to drawdown the undrawn portion of the facility if no event of default has occurred or would result from the borrowing of the loan.</p></div>falsefalsefalsexbrli:stringItemTypestringDescription of the conditions for borrowing under the credit facility including the nature of any restrictions.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 129 -Paragraph 2, 4 -LegacyDoc This reference is SUPERSEDED by the Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

On January 1, 2014, several of the waivers obtained following the completion of the Company’s debt restructuring expire. Given the current drybulk market, it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with the EBITDA coverage ratio contained in one of its loan and credit facilities, as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, unless the chartering market experiences a significant improvement between now and then. Thus, as of June 30, 2013, the Company has classified its long-term debt as current, along with the associated restricted cash, deferred financial fees and interest rate swap assets and liabilities, as discussed in Note 3. The Company is currently in negotiations with its respective lender to extend the waiver period of the aforementioned covenant.</p></div>falsefalsefalse2falsefalsefalse00falsefalsefalse3falsefalsefalse00falsefalsefalsexbrli:stringItemTypestringIdentification of whether the entity has been in compliance with any credit facility debt covenants during the period.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) -Number 129 -Paragraph 2, 4 -LegacyDoc This reference is SUPERSEDED by the Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
