SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ​ Basis of presentation ​ The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC that apply to interim financial statements, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures and footnotes normally included in complete consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024 (the “2023 10-K”). The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of GS&T and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and GSSM. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ​ In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. ​ Use of estimates ​ The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include vessel valuations, impairment of vessels, the valuation of amounts due from charterers, performance claims, residual value of vessels, useful life of vessels, the fair value of time charters acquired, performance-based restricted stock units and the fair value of derivative instruments, if any. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ​ Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash ​ The Company considers highly liquid investments, such as money market funds and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Non-current restricted cash includes cash that is restricted pursuant to our lease agreement. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 31, ​ December 31, ​ ​ 2024 2023 Cash and cash equivalents $ 48,364 $ 46,542 ​ Restricted cash – current ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ Restricted cash – noncurrent ​ 315 ​ 315 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 48,679 $ 46,857 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Vessels held for sale ​ On November 14, 2023 the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Genco Commodus and the sale of the vessel was completed on February 7, 2024. The relevant vessel assets have been classified as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023. ​ Additionally, on December 21, 2023 the Company entered into agreements to sell the Genco Claudius and Genco Maximus. On February 24, 2024, the Company terminated its agreements to sell the Genco Claudius and the Genco Maximus due to the buyers’ breach of the agreements’ terms. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company commenced arbitration with the buyers, seeking a declaration that it validly terminated the agreements due to the buyers’ breach, and to retain the deposits paid by the buyers in connection with the sales, totaling $3,650 . During the second quarter of 2024, t On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into new agreements to sell the Genco Claudius and Genco Maximus to a separate unaffiliated third-party. ​ Bunker swap and forward fuel purchase agreements ​ From time to time, the Company may enter into fuel hedge agreements with the objective of reducing the risk of the effect of changing fuel prices. The Company has entered into bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements. The Company’s bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, any unrealized or realized gains and losses are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Derivatives are Level 2 instruments in the fair value hierarchy. ​ During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $18 and $108 of realized gains in other income (expense), respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $160 and ($42) of unrealized gains (losses) in other income (expense), respectively. ​ The total fair value of the bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements in an asset position as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is $161 and $1 , respectively, and are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total fair value of the bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements in a ​ Voyage expense recognition ​ In time charters and spot market-related time charters, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel and specified voyage costs such as fuel and port charges are paid by the charterer. These expenses are borne by the Company during spot market voyage charters. As such, there are significantly higher voyage expenses for spot market voyage charters as compared to time charters and spot market-related time charters. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Additionally, the Company records lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis for certain time charter agreements where the inventory is subject to gains and losses. These differences in bunkers, including any lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, resulted in a net gain (loss) of during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement. ​ Loss on sale of vessels ​ During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $978 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Commodus. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not complete the sale of any vessels. Refer to Note 4 — Vessel Acquisitions and Dispositions for further detail regarding the sale of these vessels. ​ Other operating expense ​ Other operating expense of $1,804 recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 consists of costs incremental to routine expenses that were incurred related to the Company’s 2024 annual meeting to be held on May 23, 2024.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s other financial instruments as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (principally Due from charterers and Accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate fair values because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. ​ ASC Subtopic 820-10, “ Fair Value Measurements & Disclosures ” (“ASC 820-10”), applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumption (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows: ​ ● Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that the Company is able to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment. ​ ● Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for instruments that are similar, or quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar instruments, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. ​ ● Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. ​ Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 items, as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities. Floating rate debt is considered to be a Level 2 item, as the Company considers the estimate of rates it could obtain for similar debt or based upon transactions amongst third parties. Interest rate cap agreements, bunker swap agreements and forward fuel purchase agreements are considered to be Level 2 items. Refer to Note 8 — Derivative Instruments and Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, respectively, for further information. Nonrecurring fair value measurements include vessel impairment assessments completed during the interim period and at year-end as determined based on third-party quotes, which are based on various data points, including comparable sales of similar vessels, which are Level 2 inputs. There was vessel impairment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. ​ The fair value determination for the operating lease right-of-use assets was based on third party quotes, which is considered a Level 2 input. Nonrecurring fair value measurements may include impairment tests of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets if there are indicators of impairments. indicators of impairment of the operating lease right-of-use assets. ​ The Company did not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS	14 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On December 14, 2022, a sub-charterer of the Genco Constellation asserted a claim for monetary losses in connection with alleged delays of the loading of their cargo, short loading, or both at the port of Longkou, China. Hizone Group Co. Ltd (“Hizone”) had sub-chartered the vessel from SCM Corporation Limited, which had subchartered the vessel from BG Shipping Co. Limited, which in turn had chartered the vessel from the Company. A dispute arose due to the need to restow the cargo to ensure the safety of the crew and the vessel. Following the vessel’s arrival at Tema Harbour in Ghana, Hizone petitioned the Superior Court of Judicature to have the vessel arrested in connection with a claim alleging damages. The petition was granted on December 14, 2022 and although the Company offered security to release the vessel shortly thereafter, the vessel was only released at the end of February 2023. Moreover, Hizone petitioned the Superior Court of Judicature to have the vessel arrested again on February 2, 2023 on an allegedly different claim. The vessel was not generating revenue while it was subject to arrest. The Company vigorously defended them while continuing to seek reimbursement of damages arising from the arrest of the vessel, including the recovery of lost revenue while arrested and reimbursement of legal fees. The Company obtained security from BG Shipping Co. Limited and proceeded with arbitration. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company settled all disputes and claims pertaining to this matter by entering into settlement agreements with the opposing parties. Under the settlement terms, the Company was reimbursed for damages the Company sustained because of the arrest of the Genco Constellation (including contractual revenue and affiliated expenses) as well as for the ensuing legal and security fees and costs the Company has incurred in order to defend against the claims brought by the other parties. From time to time, the Company may be subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. The Company is not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As such, there are significantly higher voyage expenses for spot market voyage charters as compared to time charters and spot market-related time charters. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses, such as commissions, which are typically borne by the Company. At the inception of a time charter, the Company records the difference between the cost of bunker fuel delivered by the terminating charterer and the bunker fuel sold to the new charterer as a gain or loss within voyage expenses. Additionally, the Company records lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments to re-value the bunker fuel on a quarterly basis for certain time charter agreements where the inventory is subject to gains and losses. These differences in bunkers, including any lower of cost and net realizable value adjustments, resulted in a net gain (loss) of during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Additionally, voyage expenses include the cost of bunkers consumed during short-term time charters pursuant to the terms of the time charter agreement.
Loss on sale of vessels	Loss on sale of vessels ​ During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $978 related primarily to the sale of the Genco Commodus.
