Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]  
Exchange Rates
The accounts of foreign subsidiaries with non-USD functional currencies (such as MPC Capital) are translated, and the resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and accumulated in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) within equity. More specifically, assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at the closing rate. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. For the acquisition of the MPC Capital, the following EUR/USD exchange rates have been used.

Estimated Useful Lives of Intangible Assets
Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets include intangibles resulting from the pushdown accounting (see Note 8) and other intangibles acquired by the Company. They have finite useful lives and are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives of intangible assets are periodically re-assessed to ensure they reflect current conditions and expectations.
