Interest and fee expenses associated with our borrowings, net of capitalized interest, were $90 million, $92 million and $61 million for 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which we paid $92 million, $88 million and $53 million, respectively.

Borrowings under our revolving credit facilities approximate fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates, which results in Level 2 instruments. The fair value of our fixed rate credit facilities is estimated based on the published market prices for issuances of similar risk and tenor and is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of total debt (before amortization of issuance costs) was $2,694 million and $2,928 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount and estimated fair value of total debt (before amortization of issuance costs) was $2,694 million and $2,825 million, respectively.

The Ten Year Fixed Facility was fully drawn on June 6, 2019 to partially fund the June 2019 Acquisition.

The Seven Year Fixed Facility was fully drawn on August 1, 2018 and the borrowings were used to partially repay borrowings under the Five Year Revolver due December 2022.

On May 11, 2018, we funded the May 2018 Acquisition with $494 million in borrowings under the Five Year Revolver due July 2023 and $726 million in borrowings under the Five Year Revolver due December 2022.

On February 6, 2018, we used net proceeds from sales of common units and from our general partner’s proportionate capital contribution to repay $247 million of borrowings outstanding under our Five Year Revolver due July 2023 and $726 million of borrowings outstanding under our Five Year Revolver due December 2022.

Borrowings and repayments under our credit facilities for 2020, 2019 and 2018 are disclosed in our consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 11 – (Deficit) Equity for additional information regarding the source of our repayments, if applicable to the period. Borrowings under the Five Year Revolver due July 2023, the Five Year Revolver due December 2022 and the 2019 Zydeco Revolver bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin or, in certain instances (including if LIBOR is
discontinued) at an alternate interest rate as described in each respective revolver. Over the next few years, LIBOR will be discontinued globally, and as such, a new benchmark will take its place. We are in discussion with our Parent to further clarify the reference rate(s) applicable to our revolving credit facilities once LIBOR is discontinued, and we are evaluating any potential impact on our facilities.

Credit Facility Agreements

Ten Year Fixed Facility
On June 4, 2019, we entered into a ten-year fixed rate credit facility with STCW with a borrowing capacity of $600 million (the “Ten Year Fixed Facility”). The Ten Year Fixed Facility bears an interest rate of 4.18% per annum and matures on June 4, 2029. No issuance fee was incurred in connection with the Ten Year Fixed Facility. The Ten Year Fixed Facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lender to accelerate the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the Ten Year Fixed Facility.

Seven Year Fixed Facility
On July 31, 2018, we entered into a seven-year fixed rate credit facility with STCW with a borrowing capacity of $600 million (the “Seven Year Fixed Facility”). We incurred an issuance fee of $1 million, which was paid on August 7, 2018. The Seven Year Fixed Facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lender to accelerate the maturity date of amounts borrowed under the Seven Year Fixed Facility.
The Seven Year Fixed Facility bears an interest rate of 4.06% per annum and matures on July 31, 2025.

Five Year Revolver due July 2023
On August 1, 2018, we amended and restated the five year revolving credit facility originally due October 2019 such that the facility will now mature on July 31, 2023 (the “Five Year Revolver due July 2023”). The Five Year Revolver due July 2023 has a borrowing capacity of $760 million and will continue to bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin and we continue to pay interest of 0.19% on any unused capacity. Commitment fees began to accrue beginning on the date we entered into the agreement.
As of December 31, 2020, the annualized weighted average interest rate for the Five Year Revolver due July 2023 was 2.06%. There was no issuance fee associated with this amendment. All other material terms and conditions of the Five Year Revolver due July 2023 remain unchanged.
The Five Year Revolver due July 2023 was originally entered into on November 3, 2014, and provides that loans advanced under the facility can have a term ending on or before its maturity date. 

Five Year Revolver due December 2022
On December 1, 2017, we entered into a five year revolving credit facility with STCW (the “Five Year Revolver due December 2022”) with a borrowing capacity of $1,000 million and paid an issuance fee of $2 million. Borrowings under the Five Year Revolver due December 2022 bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin, or, in the alternative, the percentage rate per annum which is the rate notified to us by STCW in accordance with the terms of the Five Year Revolver due December 2022 as soon as practicable and in any event before interest is due to be paid in respect of a loan. Additionally, we pay interest of 0.19% on any unused capacity. As of December 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rate for the Five Year Revolver due December 2022 was 2.26%. Commitment fees began to accrue beginning on the date we entered into the agreement. The Five Year Revolver due December 2022 matures on December 1, 2022.

Five Year Fixed Facility
On March 1, 2017, we entered into a Loan Facility Agreement with STCW with a borrowing capacity of $600 million (the “Five Year Fixed Facility”) and paid an issuance fee of $1 million. 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.

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.

Zydeco Revolving Credit Facility Agreement
On August 6, 2019, the senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement between Zydeco and STCW, dated August 6, 2014, expired. On August 1, 2019, Zydeco entered into a senior unsecured revolving loan facility agreement with STCW, effective August 6, 2019 (the “2019 Zydeco Revolver”). The 2019 Zydeco Revolver has a borrowing capacity of $30 million and matures on August 6, 2024. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin, or, in certain instances, including if LIBOR is discontinued, STCW may specify another benchmark rate generally accepted in the loan market to apply in relation to the advances in place of LIBOR. No issuance fee was incurred in connection with the 2019 Zydeco Revolver. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate for the 2019 Zydeco Revolver was 0.86%.

Covenants
Under the Ten Year Fixed Facility, the Seven Year Fixed Facility, the Five Year Revolver due July 2023, the Five Year Revolver due December 2022, the Five Year Fixed Facility, and the 2019 Zydeco Revolver, we (and Zydeco in the case of the 2019 Zydeco Revolver) have agreed, among other things:

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.
These 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 that 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 December 31, 2020 and 2019, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Ten Year Fixed Facility, Seven Year Fixed Facility, the Five Year Revolver due July 2023, the Five Year Revolver due December 2022 and the Five Year Fixed Facility, and Zydeco was in compliance with the covenants contained in the 2019 Zydeco Revolver.
Borrowings and repayments under our credit facilities for 2020, 2019 and 2018 are disclosed in our consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 3 — Acquisitions and Other Transactions for additional information regarding our use of borrowings. See Note 11 — (Deficit) Equity for additional information regarding the source of our repayments.
