The Company is covered for liabilities associated with the vessels’ operations up to the customary limits provided by the Protection and Indemnity (“P&I”) Clubs, members of the International Group of P&I Clubs.
As previously disclosed, of the Company’s subsidiaries have been involved in arbitration concerning the termination of certain shipbuilding contracts. The Company has provided bank letters of guarantee as security for the legal fees of a counterparty in connection with the claims as to which the counterparty has prevailed on the merits. The Company remains engaged in arbitration and settlement discussions.
Currently, other than the above, management is not aware of any as aforementioned claims not covered by insurance or of any contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision has not been established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
