Time charter-in contracts

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we time chartered-in a VLGC with a duration 12 months with no option periods. Therefore, this operating lease was excluded from operating lease right-of-use asset and lease liability recognition on our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $23.7 million were recognized on our balance sheets related to one VLGC that we had previously time chartered-in for a period of greater than 12 months. Our time chartered-in VLGCs were deployed in the Helios Pool and earned net pool revenues of $6.9 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Charter hire expenses for the VLGCs time chartered in were as follows:

	Three months ended
