For three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest and fee expenses associated with our borrowings were $9.1 million and $19.8 million, respectively. For three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, interest and fee expenses associated with our borrowings were $2.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

Borrowings under our Five Year Revolver (as defined below) approximate fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates, which results in a Level 2 instrument. The fair value of our Five Year Fixed Facility (as defined below) is estimated based on the published market prices for issuances of similar risk and tenor and is categorized as a Level 2 instrument. As of September 30, 2017, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of total debt (before amortization of issuance costs) was $1,001.9 million and $1,017.7 million, respectively.

On September 15, 2017, we used net proceeds from sales of common units to third parties to repay $265.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our Five Year Revolver.

On May 10, 2017, we funded the May 2017 Acquisition with $50.0 million of cash on hand, $73.1 million in borrowings under our Five Year Revolver and $506.9 million in borrowings under our Five Year Fixed Facility (as defined below).

On May 23, 2016, we partially funded the cash portion of the May 2016 Acquisition with $296.7 million in borrowings under our Five Year Revolver.

On March 29, 2016, we used cash on hand and net proceeds from sales of common units to third parties to repay $272.6 million of borrowings outstanding under the Five Year Revolver and all $137.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the 364-Day Revolver.


Credit Facility Agreements

Five Year Fixed Facility

On March 1, 2017, we entered into a Loan Facility Agreement with STCW with a borrowing capacity of $600.0 million (the “Five Year Fixed Facility”). The Five Year Fixed Facility provides that we may not repay or prepay amounts borrowed without the consent of the lender and amounts repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.

We incurred an issuance fee of $0.7 million, which was paid on March 7, 2017. The Five Year Fixed Facility bears a fixed interest rate of 3.23% per annum. The Five Year Fixed Facility matures on March 1, 2022.

Five Year Revolver

On November 3, 2014, we entered into a five year revolving credit facility (the "Five Year Revolver") with STCW with an initial borrowing capacity of $300.0 million. On May 12, 2015, we amended and restated the Five Year Revolver to increase the borrowing capacity amount to $400.0 million and on September 27, 2016, we further amended and restated the Five Year Revolver to increase the amount of the facility to $760.0 million. In connection with the latest amendment and restatement of the Five Year Revolver, we paid an issuance fee of $0.6 million.

Additionally, the Five Year Revolver provides that loans advanced under the facility can have a term ending on or before its maturity date. 

Borrowings under the Five Year Revolver bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the weighted average interest rate for the Five Year Revolver was 2.4%. The Five Year Revolver also provides for customary fees, including administrative agent fees and commitment fees. Commitment fees began to accrue beginning on the date we entered into the Revolver agreement. The Five Year Revolver matures on October 31, 2019.

364-Day Revolver

On June 29, 2015, in connection with the acquisition done in July 2015, we entered into a second revolving credit facility (the “364-Day Revolver”) with STCW as lender with an initial borrowing capacity of $100.0 million and on November 11, 2015, we amended and restated the 364-Day Revolver to increase the borrowing capacity amount to $180.0 million. The 364-Day Revolver expired as of March 1, 2017.

Zydeco Revolving Credit Facility Agreement

On August 6, 2014, Zydeco entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement with STCW (the “Zydeco Revolver”).  The facility has a borrowing capacity of $30.0 million. Loans advanced under the agreement have up to a six-month term.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin. As of September 30, 2017, the interest rate for the Zydeco Revolver was 2.8%. The Zydeco Revolver also requires payment of customary fees, including issuance and commitment fees. The Zydeco Revolver matures on August 6, 2019.

Covenants

Under the Five Year Fixed Facility, Five Year Revolver and Zydeco Revolver, we (and Zydeco in the case of the Zydeco Revolver) have, among other things:

agreed to restrict additional indebtedness not loaned by STCW;
to give the applicable facility pari passu ranking with any new indebtedness; and
to refrain from securing our assets except as agreed with STCW (Five Year Fixed Facility only).

The facilities also contain customary events of default, such as nonpayment of principal, interest and fees when due and violation of covenants, as well as cross-default provisions under which a default under one credit facility may trigger an event of default in another facility with the same borrower. Any breach of covenants included in our debt agreements which could result in our related party lender demanding payment of the unpaid principal and interest balances will have a material adverse effect upon us and would likely require us to seek to renegotiate these debt arrangements with our related party lender and/or obtain new financing from other sources. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Five Year Fixed Facility and the Five Year Revolver, and Zydeco was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Zydeco Revolver.
