Depreciation is based on costs less the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;estimated residual scrap value, which is assessed at&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; $200 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; $350 &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;per light-weight ton&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;, depending on the vessel's age&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; and market conditions&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;.

When regulations place limitations on the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, the vessel's useful life &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;is&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"&gt;Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;The Company&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;follows ASC 360-10-40 &amp;#8220;Impairment or Disposal of Long-&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;Lived&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; Assets&amp;#8221;, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;The Company &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;reviews vessels for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the c&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;rrying amount of a vessel may not be recoverable. When the estimate of future undiscounted net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of the vessel over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the vessel for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the vessel. The fair value of the vessel is determined based on management estimates and assumptions and by making use of available market data and third party valuations. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;The Company evaluates the carrying amounts and periods over which vessels are depreciated to determine if events have occurred which would require modification to their carrying values or useful lives. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of long-lived assets, management reviews certain indicators of potential impairment, such as undiscounted projected operating cash flows, vessel sales and purchases, business plans and overall market conditions. The current conditions in the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;containerships&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; market with decreased charter rates and decreased vessel market values are conditions that the Company considers indicators of a potential impairment. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;In developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flows, the Company makes assumptions and estimates about the vessels' future performance, with the significant assumptions being related to charter rates, fleet utilization, vessels' operating expense&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;, vessels' residual value and the estimated remaining useful life of each vessel. The assumptions used to develop estimates of future undiscounted cash flows are based on historical trends as well a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;s future expectations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;The Company determines undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each vessel and compares it to the vessel's carrying value. The projected net operating cash flows are determined by considering the historical and estimated vessels' performance and utilization, the charter revenues from existing time charters for the fixed fleet days and an estimated daily time charter equivalent for the unfixed days (based on the most recent 10 year average historical &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;6-12&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;months time &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;charter rates available for each type of vessel, considering also current market rates) over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of brokerage commissions, expected outflows for scheduled vessels' maintenance and vessel operating expenses assuming an average annual inflation rate of 3%.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Effective fleet utilization is assumed to 98% in the Company's exercise, taking into account the period(s) each vessel is expected to undergo her scheduled maintenance (dry&amp;#160;docking and special surveys), as well as an estimate of 1% off hire days each year, assumptions in line with the Company's historical performance. The Company concluded based on this exercise that step two of the impairment analysis was not required and no impairment of vessels existed at December 31, 2011 as the undiscounted projected cash flows&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; significantly&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; exceeded their carrying value.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;No impairment loss was identified or recorded for 2011&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;2010 and the Company has not identified any other facts or circumstances that would require the write down of vessel values in the near future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"&gt;Accounting for Revenues and Expenses:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; Revenues are generated from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;time &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;charter agreements. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;Time c&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;harter agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to the terms and conditions of each agreement. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;Time-charter r&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;evenues are recorded &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;over the term of the charter as service is provided&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;.

The Company reports financial information and evaluates the operations of the segment by charter revenues and not by the length of ship employment for its customers, i.e. spot or time charters. The Company does not use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for each such type of charter. Although revenue can be identified for these types of charters, management cannot and does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for these charters. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet. Furthermore, when the Company charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;margin-left:36px;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"&gt;Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;: The Company follow&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;are &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;will be &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;scheduled to become due.

Other fees paid for obtaining loan facilities not used at the balance sheet date are capitalized as deferred financing costs.  Fees are amortized to interest and finance costs over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method and, for the fees relating to loan facilities not used at the balance sheet date, according to the loan availability terms. Unamortized fees relating to loans repaid or refinanced as debt extinguishment are expensed as interest and finance costs in the period the repayment or extinguishment is made. Loan commitment fees are charged to expense in the period incurred. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"&gt;Repairs and Maintenance:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;period&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; incurred.

That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award&amp;#8212;the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Employee share purchase plans will not result in recognition of compensation cost if certain conditions are met. The Company initially measure&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award or liability instrument based on its current fair value; the fair value of that award or liability instrument is remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period are recognized as compensation cost over that period with the exception of awards granted in the form of restricted shares which are measured at their grant date fair va&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;lue and are not subsequently re-&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;measured. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments are estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments (unless observable market prices for the same or similar instruments are available). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;is&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"&gt;Variable Interest Entities:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; ASC 81&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;0-10-50 &amp;#8220;Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities&amp;#8221;, addresses the consolidation of business enterprises (variable interest entities) to which the usual condition (ownership of a majority voting interest) of consolidation does not apply.  The guidance focuses on financial interests that indicate control. It concludes that in the absence of clear control through voting interests, a company's exposure (variable interest) to the economic risks and potential rewards from the variable interest entity's assets and activities are the best evidence of control.  Variable interests are rights and obligations that convey economic gains or losses from changes in the value of the variable interest entity's assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist, as the primary beneficiary would be required to include assets, liabilities, and the results of operations of the variable interest entity in its financial statements. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;The Company's evaluation did not result in an identification of variable interest entities as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-left:36px;list-style:lower-alpha;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;font-style:italic;"&gt;Concentration of Credit Risk:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;various&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; qualified financial institutions&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company's investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;'&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:10pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Recent&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Accounting&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;P&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;ronouncements&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. Current U.S. GAAP allows reporting entities three alternatives for presenting other comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. One of those presentation options is to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This Update eliminates that option. In addition, current U.S. GAAP does not require consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income. Finally, current U.S. GAAP does not require an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income, which is required by the guidance in this Update. These changes apply to both annual and interim financial statements. These improvements will help financial statement users better understand the causes of an entity's change in financial position and results of operations. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (i) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (ii) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income. The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. The amendments in this Update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively and they are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The amendments in this Update &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;were&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; adopted by the Company&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;as of&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt; June 30, 2011&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:SignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>
