The Company maintains restricted cash deposits relating to certain term loans, collateral for cross currency swaps (see Note 15), leasing arrangements, project tenders and amounts received from charterers to be used only for dry-docking expenditures and emergency repairs.

The non-cash item related to operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $211.6 million.

The associated sales of the Toledo Spirit and Teide Spirit by its owner during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, resulted in the vessels being returned to their owner with the obligations related to finance lease being concurrently extinguished. As a result, the sales of the vessels and the concurrent extinguishment of the corresponding obligations related to finance lease of $23.6 million and $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were treated as non-cash transactions in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.
