Basis of Presentation and General Information | 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The reporting and functional currency of Danaos Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is the United States Dollar. Danaos Corporation, formerly Danaos Holdings Limited, was formed on December 7, 1998 under the laws of Liberia and is presently the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the companies listed below. Danaos Holdings Limited was redomiciled in the Marshall Islands on October 7, 2005. In connection with the redomiciliation, the Company changed its name to Danaos Corporation. On October 14, 2005, the Company filed and the Marshall Islands accepted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. The authorized capital stock of Danaos Corporation is 750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.01. Refer to Note 18, “Stockholders’ Equity”. The Company’s vessels operate worldwide, carrying containers for many established charterers. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and operation of vessels. Danaos conducts its operations through the vessel owning companies whose principal activity is the ownership and operation of containerships (refer to Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies”) that are under the exclusive management of a related party of the Company (refer to Note 11, “Related Party Transactions”). On May 2, 2019, the Company effected a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. All share and per share data disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented. The reverse stock split reduced the number of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from 213,324,455 to 15,237,456 on May 2, 2019 and affected all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection to the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company's common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The par value and other terms of the Company's common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared to reflect the consolidation of the companies listed below. The historical balance sheets and results of operations of the companies listed below have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss), cash flows and stockholders’ equity at and for each period since their respective incorporation dates. As of December 31, 2019, Danaos consolidated the vessel owning companies (the “Danaos Subsidiaries”) listed below.

Significant Accounting Policies | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Company. The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Inter‑company transaction balances and unrealized gains/(losses) on transactions between the companies are eliminated. Investments in affiliates: The Company’s investments in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and the Company’s proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. The Company evaluates its investments in affiliates for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such investments may have experienced other than temporary decline in value below their carrying value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and is considered an other than temporary decline, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on‑going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to future drydock dates, the selection of useful lives for tangible assets, expected future cash flows from long‑lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for accounts receivables, provisions for legal disputes, and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions. Reclassifications in Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss): The Company had the following reclassifications out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively (in thousands): Year ended December 31, Location of Reclassification into Income 2019 2018 2017 Amortization of deferred realized losses on cash flow hedges Net unrealized and realized losses on derivatives $ 3,622 $ 3,694 $ 3,694 Accelerated amortization of deferred realized losses on cash flow hedges Net unrealized and realized losses on derivatives — 1,443 — Total Reclassifications $ 3,622 $ 5,137 $ 3,694 Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company engages in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although its operations may expose it to certain levels of foreign currency risk, its transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Additionally, the Company’s wholly‑owned vessel subsidiaries transacted a nominal amount of their operations in Euros; however, all of the subsidiaries’ primary cash flows are U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The foreign currency exchange gains/(losses) recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were $0.2 million loss, $0.1 million loss and $0.4 million loss, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of interest bearing call deposits, where the Company has instant access to its funds and withdrawals and deposits can be made at any time, as well as time deposits with original maturities of three months or less which are not restricted for use or withdrawal. Cash and cash equivalents of $139.2 million as of December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $77.3 million) comprised cash balances and short-term deposits. Restricted Cash: Cash restricted accounts include retention accounts. Until the full repayment of the KEXIM ABN Amro loan facility in June 2018, the Company was required to deposit one-third of quarterly and one‑sixth of the semi‑annual principal installments and interest payments, respectively, due on the outstanding loan balance monthly in a retention account. On the rollover settlement date, both principal and interest were paid from the retention account. Refer to Note 3, "Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash”. Accounts Receivable, Net: The amount shown as Accounts Receivable, net, at each balance sheet date includes estimated recoveries from charterers for hire and demurrage billings, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s history of write‑offs, level of past due accounts based on the contractual term of the receivables and its relationships with and economic status of its customers. Bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified. Insurance Claims: Insurance claims represent the claimable expenses, net of deductibles, which are expected to be recovered from insurance companies. Any costs to complete the claims are included in accrued liabilities. The Company accounts for the cost of possible additional call amounts under its insurance arrangements in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies based on the Company’s historical experience and the shipping industry practices. Insurance claims are included in the consolidated balance sheet line item “Other current assets”. Prepaid Expenses and Inventories: Prepaid expenses consist mainly of insurance expenses, and inventories consist of bunkers, lubricants and provisions remaining on board the vessels at each period end, which are valued at cost as determined using the first‑in, first‑out method. Costs of spare parts are expensed as incurred. Deferred Financing Costs: Loan arrangement fees incurred for obtaining new loans, for loans that have been accounted for as modified and the fees paid to third parties for loans that have been accounted for as extinguished, where there is a replacement debt and the lender remains the same, are deferred and amortized over the loans’ respective repayment periods using the effective interest rate method and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability. Unamortized deferred financing costs for extinguished facilities are written-off. Loan arrangement fees related to the facilities accounted for under troubled debt restructuring with future undiscounted cash flows greater than the net carrying value of the original debt are capitalized and amortized over the loan respective repayment period using the effective interest rate method. Additionally, amortization of deferred finance costs amounting to $16.9 million, $15.00 million and $11.2 million is included in interest expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist of vessels. Vessels are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of vessels consists of the contract purchase price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (improvements and delivery expenses). Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Otherwise, these expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs while under construction are included in vessels’ cost. The Company has acquired certain vessels in the secondhand market in prior years, all of which were considered to be acquisitions of assets. Following adoption of ASU 2017-01 “Business Combinations (Topic 805)” on January 1, 2018, the Company evaluates if any vessel acquisition in secondhand market constitutes a business or not. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The following assets are considered as a single asset for the purposes of the evaluation (i) a tangible asset that is attached to and cannot be physically removed and used separately from another tangible assets (or an intangible asset representing the right to use a tangible asset); (ii) in place lease intangibles, including favorable and unfavorable intangible assets or liabilities, and the related leased assets. The Company charters in two of its vessels Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect under a five years sale and leaseback arrangement. The proceeds received by the Company from the buyer-lessor were recognized as a financial leaseback obligation as this arrangement did not qualify for a sale of these vessels. The Company has substantive repurchase obligation of these vessels at the end of the leaseback period or earlier, at the Company's option, and retains the control over these vessels. Each leaseback payment is allocated between the liability and interest expense to achieve a constant interest rate on the leaseback obligation outstanding. The interest element of the leaseback payment is charged under "Interest expense" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations over the leaseback period. Depreciation: The cost of the Company’s vessels is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the vessels’ remaining economic useful lives after considering the estimated residual value (refer to Note 4, “Fixed Assets, net”). Management has estimated the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 30 years from the year built. Vessels held for sale: Vessels are classified as “Vessels held for sale” when all of the following criteria are met: management has committed to a plan to sell the vessel; the vessel is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of vessels; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the vessel have been initiated; the sale of the vessel is probable and transfer of the vessel is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These vessels are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. Accounting for Special Survey and Drydocking Costs: The Company follows the accounting guidance for planned major maintenance activities. Drydocking and special survey costs, which are reported in the balance sheet within “Deferred charges, net”, include planned major maintenance and overhaul activities for ongoing certification including the inspection, refurbishment and replacement of steel, engine components, electrical, pipes and valves, and other parts of the vessel. The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for special survey and drydocking costs, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight‑line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey and drydocking, which is two and a half years. If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. The amortization periods reflect the estimated useful economic life of the deferred charge, which is the period between each special survey and drydocking. Costs incurred during the drydocking period relating to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed. The unamortized portion of special survey and drydocking costs for vessels sold is included as part of the carrying amount of the vessel in determining the gain/(loss) on sale of the vessel. Impairment of Long‑lived Assets: The accounting standard for impairment of long‑lived assets requires that long‑lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In the case of long‑lived assets held and used, if the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company concluded that events and circumstances triggered the existence of potential impairment of its vessels. These indicators included volatility in the charter market and the vessels’ market values, as well as the potential impact the current marketplace may have on its future operations. As a result, the Company performed step one of the impairment assessment of the Company’s vessels by comparing the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each vessel to its carrying value. The Company’s strategy is to charter its vessels under multi‑year, fixed rate period charters that range from less than 1 to 18 years for vessels in its fleet, providing the Company with contracted stable cash flows. The significant factors and assumptions the Company used in its undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis included, among others, operating revenues, off‑hire revenues, drydocking costs, operating expenses and management fees estimates. Revenue assumptions were based on contracted time charter rates up to the end of life of the current contract of each vessel as well as the estimated average time charter equivalent rates for the remaining life of the vessel after the completion of its current contract. The estimated daily time charter equivalent rates used for non‑contracted revenue days are based on a combination of (i) recent charter market rates, (ii) conditions existing in the containership market as of December 31, 2019; (iii) historical average time charter rates, based on publications by independent third party maritime research services, and (iv) estimated future time charter rates, based on publications by independent third party maritime research services that provide such forecasts. Recognizing that the container transportation industry is cyclical and subject to significant volatility based on factors beyond the Company’s control, management believes the use of revenue estimates, based on the combination of factors (i) to (iv) above, to be reasonable as of the reporting date. In addition, the Company used an annual operating expenses escalation factor and estimates of scheduled and unscheduled off‑hire revenues based on historical experience. All estimates used and assumptions made were in accordance with the Company’s internal budgets and historical experience of the shipping industry. As at December 31, 2019, the Company's assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was not required for any vessel, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows of all vessels exceeded the carrying value of the respective vessels. As of December 31, 2019, no impairment loss was identified. As at December 31, 2018, the Company’s assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was required for certain of its vessels, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows of certain vessels did not exceed the carrying value of the respective vessels. Fair value of each vessel was determined by management with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $210.7 million for ten of its vessels that are held and used, which is reflected under “Impairment loss” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Investments in Debt Securities: The Company classified its debt securities originally as held-to-maturity based on management’s positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and were reported at amortized cost, subject to impairment up until December 31, 2016. During 2017, the Company sold a portion of its debt securities, originally classified as held to maturity and as such reclassified remaining held to maturity debt securities into the available for sale category. The transfer between the categories is accounted for at fair value. The unrealized holding gain/(loss) upon transfer from held to maturity category to available for sale category is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain/(loss) included in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), subject to impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in the interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon sale, realized gain/(loss) is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on specific identification method. Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. Consideration is given to: 1) if the Company intends to sell the security (that is, it has decided to sell the security); 2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its entire amortized cost basis; or 3) a credit loss exists—that is, the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security (the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security). Investments in Equity Securities: The Company classifies its equity securities of ZIM at cost as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. Equity securities of HMM were acquired and held principally for the purpose of resale in the near term and were classified as trading securities based on management’s intention on the date of acquisition and were recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices with changes in fair value and realized gains/(losses) presented under “Other income/(expenses), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company sold equity securities of HMM in 2016. Management evaluates the equity security for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. Consideration is given to significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee, significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographic area or the industry in which the investee operates, as well as factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants. Pension and Retirement Benefit Obligations‑Crew: The crew on board the companies’ vessels serve in such capacity under short‑term contracts (usually up to seven months) and accordingly, the vessel‑owning companies are not liable for any pension or post‑retirement benefits. Accounting for Revenue and Expenses: The Company derives its revenue from time charters and bareboat charters of its vessels, each of which contains a lease. These charters involve placing the specified vessel at charterers’ use for a specified rental period of time in return for the payment of specified daily hire rates. Most of the charters include options for the charterers to extend their terms. Under a time charter, the daily hire rate includes lease component related to the right of use of the vessel and non-lease components primarily related to the operating expenses of the vessel incurred by the Company such as commissions, vessel operating expenses: crew expenses, lubricants, certain insurance expenses, repair and maintenance, spares, stores etc. and vessel management fees. Under a bareboat charter, the daily hire rate includes only lease component related to the right of use of the vessel. The revenue earned based on time charters is not negotiated in separate components. Revenue from the Company’s time charters and bareboat charters of vessels is accounted for as operating leases on a straight line basis based on the average fixed rentals over the minimum fixed rental period of the time charter and bareboat charter agreements, as service is performed. The Company elected the practical expedient which allows the Company to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for the leases where the timing and pattern of transfer for the nonlease component and the associated lease component to the lessees are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The combined component is therefore accounted for as an operating lease under ASC 842, as the lease components are the predominant characteristics, in 2019. The Company adopted the new “Leases” standard (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The Company elected the practical expedient to use the effective date of adoption as the date of initial application. Furthermore the Company elected practical expedients, which allow entities (i) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (iii) to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases and (iv) which allows to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component due to its predominant characteristic. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements since the Company is primarily a lessor and the accounting for lessors is largely unchanged under this standard. Voyage Expenses: Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, bunker (fuel) expenses (bunker costs are normally covered by the Company’s charterers, except in certain cases such as vessel re‑positioning), address commissions and brokerage commissions. Under multi‑year time charters and bareboat charters, such as those on which the Company charters its containerships and under short‑term time charters, the charterers bear the voyage expenses other than brokerage and address commissions. As such, voyage expenses represent a relatively small portion of the vessels’ overall expenses. Vessel Operating Expenses: Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses for repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. Aggregate expenses increase as the size of the Company’s fleet increases. Under multi‑year time charters, the Company pays for vessel operating expenses. Under bareboat charters, the Company’s charterers bear most vessel operating expenses, including the costs of crewing, insurance, surveys, drydockings, maintenance and repairs. General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses include management fees paid to the vessels’ manager (refer to Note 11, “Related Party Transactions”), audit fees, legal fees, board remuneration, executive officers compensation, directors & officers insurance and stock exchange fees. Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses are charged against income when incurred and are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Dividends: Dividends, if any, are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are declared by the Company’s board of directors. Troubled Debt Restructuring and Accumulated Accrued Interest: Prior to the finalization of the Refinancing (refer to Note 10, “Long-Term Debt, Net”), the Company concluded that it was experiencing financial difficulty and that certain of the lenders granted a concession (as part of the Refinancing). The Company was experiencing financial difficulty primarily as a result of the projected cash flows not being sufficient to service the balloon payment due as of December 31, 2018 without restructuring and the Company was not able to obtain funding from sources other than existing creditors at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for similar debt. As a result, the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) was applied at the Closing Date. The TDR accounting guidance requires the Company to record the value of the new debt to its restructured undiscounted cash flows over the life of the loan, including cash flows associated with the remaining scheduled interest and principal payments not to exceed the carrying amount of the original debt. In cases in which the recorded value of the debt instrument exceeds the sum of undiscounted future cash flows to be received under the restructured debt instrument, the recorded value is reduced to the sum of undiscounted future cash flows, and a gain is recorded. As a result of the TDR accounting, the interest expense related to the future periods on certain facilities was recognized under the accumulated accrued interest line in the Balance Sheet. Interest payments relating to the future interest recognized in accumulated accrued interest, are recognized as a reduction to the accumulated accrued interest payable when these are paid. As a result, these interest payments are not recorded as interest expense. In the future, when interest rates change, actual cash flows will differ from the cash flows measured on the Refinancing closing date. The accounting treatment for changes in cash flows due to changes in interest rates depends on whether there is an increase or a decrease from the spot interest rate used in the initial TDR accounting (“threshold interest rate”). Fluctuations in the effective interest rate after the Refinancing from changes in the interest rate or other cause are accounted for as changes in estimates in the periods in which these changes occur. Upon an increase in the interest rates from the threshold interest rate used to calculate accumulated accrued interest payable, the Company recognizes additional interest expenses in the period the expense is incurred. The additional interest expense is calculated by multiplying the difference between the current interest rate and the threshold interest rate with the current carrying value of the debt. A gain due to decrease in interest rates (‘interest windfall’) will not be recognized until the debt facilities have been settled and there are no future interest payments. In case there are subsequent increases in interest rates above the threshold interest rate after a previous decrease in interest rates, the carrying amount of the accumulated accrued interest will be reduced by the interest payments in excess of the threshold interest rate until the prior interest windfall due to decrease in the interest rates is recaptured on a cumulative basis. The Paid-in-kind interest (“PIK interest”) related to each period will increase the carrying value of the loan facility and correspondingly decrease the carrying value of the accumulated accrued interest. PIK interest in excess of the amount recognized in the accumulated accrued interest is expensed in the period the expense is incurred. Segment Reporting: The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by total charter revenues. Although revenue can be identified for different types of charters, management does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for different charters. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet, and thus the Company has determined that it has only one operating and reportable segment. Going Concern: The management of the Company assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at each period end. The assessment evaluates whether there are conditions that give rise to substantial doubt to continue as a going concern within one year from the consolidated financial statements issuance date. If a substantial doubt to continue as a going concern is identified and after considering management’s plans this substantial doubt is alleviated the Company discloses the following: (i) principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans), (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If a substantial doubt to continue as a going concern is identified and after considering management’s plans this substantial doubt is not alleviated the Company discloses the following: (i) a statement indicating that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, (ii) principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, (iii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, and (iv) management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company updates the going concern disclosure in subsequent periods until the period in which substantial doubt no longer exists disclosing how the relevant conditions or events that raised substantial doubt were resolved. Derivative Instruments: The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to create economic hedges for its interest rate risks. The Company recorded these financial instruments at their fair value. When such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in their fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the derivatives do qualify for hedge accou |

Fair value of each vessel was determined by management with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $210.7 million for ten of its vessels that are held and used, which is reflected under “Impairment loss” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2017, the Company concluded that there are no events and circumstances, which may trigger the existence of potential impairment of the Company’s vessels. The indicators which were considered were mainly the current improved charter market and the improved vessel’s market values compared to the prior year, as well as the potential impact the marketplace may have on the future operations. The residual value (estimated scrap value at the end of the vessels’ useful lives) of the fleet was estimated at $378.2 million as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company has calculated the residual value of the vessels taking into consideration the 10 year average and the 5 year average of the scrap. The Company has applied uniformly the scrap value of $300 per ton for all vessels. The Company believes that $300 per ton is a reasonable estimate of future scrap prices, taking into consideration the cyclicality of the nature of future demand for scrap steel. Although the Company believes that the assumptions used to determine the scrap rate are reasonable and appropriate, such assumptions are highly subjective, in part, because of the cyclical nature of future demand for scrap steel. In connection with the 2018 debt refinancing, the Company undertook to seek to refinance two of its 13,100 TEU vessels, the Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect , which refinancing was completed on April 12, 2019 through a sale and leaseback arrangement with a term of five years, at the end of which the Company will reacquire the vessels for an aggregate amount of $52.6 million or earlier, at the Company’s option, for a purchase price set forth in the agreement. The net proceeds amounting to $144.8 million were applied pro rata to partially repay the existing credit facilities (Club Facility, Credit Suisse Facility, Citibank $114 mil. Facility and Citibank $123.9 mil. Facility) secured by mortgages on such vessels. This arrangement was recorded as a failed sale and leaseback by the Company with the received proceeds recognized as a financial liability. The carrying value of these vessels amount to $271.9 million as of December 31, 2019.

ZIM In July 2014, after the charter restructuring agreements with ZIM, the Company obtained equity participation in ZIM and interest bearing unsecured ZIM notes maturing in 2023, consisting of $8.8 million Series 1 Notes and $41.1 million of Series 2 Notes. ZIM notes were originally classified as held to maturity securities and recorded at amortized costs less other than temporary impairment since initial recognition. The Company classifies its equity participation in ZIM at cost as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. In 2016, the Company tested for impairment of its equity participation in ZIM based on the existence of triggering events that indicate the interest in equity may have been impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $28.7 million, thus reducing its book value to nil. The Company also tests periodically for impairment of its investments in debt securities based on the existence of triggering events that indicate debt instruments may have been impaired. The Company recognized $1.6 million, $1.4 million and $1.3 million in relation to their fair value unwinding of ZIM notes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Interest income” for years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Furthermore, for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Interest income”, a non-cash interest income of $0.9 million in relation to ZIM notes, which is accrued quarterly with deferred cash payment on maturity. Furthermore, in July 2014, an amount of $39.1 million, which represents the additional compensation received from ZIM, was recorded as unearned revenue representing compensation to the Company for the future reductions in the daily charter rates payable by ZIM under its time charters, expiring in 2020 or 2021, for six of the Company’s vessels. This amount is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Operating revenues” over the remaining life of the respective time charters. For each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded an amount of $6.0 million of unearned revenue amortization in “Operating revenues”. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue in relation to ZIM amounted to $5.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the corresponding outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue amounted to $6.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Refer to Note 13, “Financial Instruments—Fair value of Financial Instruments”. b. HMM In July 2016, after the charter restructuring agreements with HMM, the Company obtained interest bearing senior unsecured HMM notes consisting of $32.8 million Loan Notes 1 maturing in July 2024 and $6.2 million Loan Notes 2 maturing in December 2022 and 4.6 million HMM shares. The HMM notes were originally classified as held to maturity securities and recorded at amortized costs less other than temporary impairment since initial recognition. Based on the management’s intention, the HMM shares were held principally for the purpose of the resale in the near term and were classified as trading securities. The Company also tests periodically for impairment of its investments in debt securities based on the existence of triggering events that indicate debt instruments may have been impaired. On September 1, 2016, the Company sold all HMM shares and the net proceeds were used to repay outstanding debt obligations. Furthermore, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $1.9 million, $1.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of non-cash interest income and fair value unwinding of HMM notes under “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. On July 18, 2016, the Company recognized unearned revenue of $75.6 million representing compensation to the Company for the future reductions in the daily charter rates payable by HMM under the time charter agreements. The amortization of unearned revenue is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under “Operating revenues” over the remaining life of the respective charters. For the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an amount of $8.2 million, $8.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively, of unearned revenue amortization. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue in relation to HMM amounted to $8.2 million and $27.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the corresponding outstanding balances of the current and non-current portion of unearned revenue amounted to $8.2 million and $35.2 million, respectively. Refer also to Note 13, “Financial Instruments–Fair value of Financial Instruments”. c.

The sale resulted in a loss of $2.4 million, which was recognized in the “Other income/(expenses), net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for year ended December 31, 2017. The proceeds were used to repay related outstanding debt obligations in April 2017. The sale of these notes resulted in a transfer of all remaining held to maturity HMM and ZIM notes into the available for sale securities at fair value.The unrealized losses, which were recognized in other comprehensive loss, are analyzed as follows as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands): Amortized cost Description of securities basis Fair value Unrealized loss ZIM notes $ 47,171 $ 20,078 $ (27,093) HMM notes 22,508 11,377 (11,131) Total $ 69,679 $ 31,455 $ (38,224) Unrealized loss on available for sale securities Balance as of January 1, 2017 — Unrealized loss on available for sale securities $ (26,607) Balance as of December 31, 2017 (26,607) Unrealized loss on available for sale securities (9,771) Balance as of December 31, 2018 $ (36,378) Unrealized loss on available for sale securities (1,846) Balance as of December 31, 2019 $ (38,224) The Company has agreed to install scrubbers on nine of its vessels with contracted obligations therefore, together with estimated costs related to their installation, expected to amount to approximately $37.2 million out of which advances of $18.2 million were paid before December 31, 2019 and the remaining amount of $19.0 million is expected to be paid in 2020. On October 2, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a 8,463 TEU container vessel built in 2005 for a gross purchase price of $25.0 million, of which $2.5 million was advanced before December 31, 2019. This vessel is expected to be delivered by the end of May 2020.

Lease Arrangements Charters‑out As of December 31, 2019, the Company generated operating revenues from its 55 vessels on time charters or bareboat charter agreements, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to April 2028. Under the terms of the charter party agreements, most charterers have options to extend the duration of contracts ranging from less than one year to three years after the expiration of the contract. The Company determines fair value of its vessels at the lease commencement date and at the end of lease term for lease classification with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. The Company manages its risk associated with the residual value of its vessels after the expiration of the charter party agreements by seeking multi-year charter arrangements for its vessels.

The Refinancing and the 2018 Credit Facilities The Company entered into a debt refinancing agreement with certain of its lenders holding debt of $2.2 billion maturing by December 31, 2018, for a debt refinancing (the “Refinancing”) which was consummated on August 10, 2018 (the “Closing Date”) that superseded, amended and supplemented the terms of each of the Company's then-existing credit facilities (other than the Sinosure-CEXIM-Citibank-ABN Amro credit facility which is not covered thereby). The Refinancing provided for, among other things, the issuance of 7,095,877 new shares of common stock to certain of the Company's lenders (which represented 47.5% of the Company's outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to such issuance and diluted existing shareholders ratably), a principal amount debt reduction of approximately $551 million, revised amortization schedules, maturities, interest rates, financial covenants, events of defaults, guarantee and security packages and $325.9 million of new debt financing from one of the Company’s lenders–Citibank (the “Citibank–New Money”). The Company’s largest stockholder, Danaos Investment Limited as Trustee of the 883 Trust (“DIL”), contributed $10 million to the Company on the Closing Date, for which DIL did not receive any shares of common stock or other interests in the Company. The maturities of most of the new loan facilities covered by this debt refinancing were extended by five years to December 31, 2023 (or, in some cases, June 30, 2024). In addition, the Company agreed to make reasonable efforts to source investment commitment for new shares of common stock with net proceeds not less than $50 million in aggregate no later than 18 months after the Closing Date ($10 million of which is to be underwritten by DIL). Danaos sold 9,418,080 shares of common stock in the public offering completed in December 2019 raising aggregate proceeds net of underwriting discounts of $54.4 million. Refer also to Note 18, "Stockholder's Equity". As part of the Refinancing the Company entered into new credit facilities for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.6 billion due by December 31, 2023 through an amendment and restatement or replacement of existing credit facilities. The following are the new term loan credit facilities (the "2018 Credit Facilities"): (i) a $475.5 million credit facility provided by the Royal Bank of Scotland (the “RBS Facility”), which refinanced the prior Royal Bank of Scotland credit facilities (ii) a $382.5 million credit facility provided by HSH Nordbank AG-Aegean Baltic Bank-Piraeus Bank (the “HSH Facility”), which refinanced the prior HSH Nordbank AG-Aegean Baltic Bank-Piraeus Bank credit facilities (iii) a $114.0 million credit facility provided by Citibank (the “Citibank $114 mil.

Facility)”), which refinanced the prior Citibank–Eurobank credit facility (vi) a $206.2 million credit facility provided by Citibank-Credit Suisse-Sentina (the “Club Facility $206.2 mil.”), which refinanced the prior EnTrustPermal-Credit Suisse-CitiGroup Club facility (vii) a $120.0 million credit facility provided by Citibank (the “Citibank $120 mil. Facility”), which refinanced the prior ABN Amro–Bank of America Merrill Lynch–Burlington Loan Management–National Bank of Greece facilities (viii) a $123.9 million credit facility provided by Citibank (the “Citibank $123 mil. Facility”), which refinanced the prior Deutsche Bank facility Interest and Fees The interest rate payable under the 2018 Credit Facilities (which does not include the Sinosure-CEXIM -Citibank-ABN Amro credit facility) is LIBOR+2.50% (subject to a 0% floor), with subordinated tranches of two credit facilities incurring additional PIK interest of 4.00%, compounded quarterly, payable in respect of $282 million principal related to the RBS Facility and HSH Facility, which tranches have maturity dates of June 30, 2024. The Company was required to pay a cash amendment fee of $69.2 million in the aggregate, out of which $30.5 million and $23.9 million was paid in cash in the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The remaining amount of $14.8 million will be paid in instalments in 2020 and is presented under “Other current liabilities” as of December 31, 2019. The unpaid amendment fee of $30.5 million was accrued under “Other current liabilities” and of $14.8 million under “Other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. Of the cash amendment fee, $17.2 million was deferred and is amortized over the life of the respective credit facilities with the effective interest method and $52.0 million was expensed to the consolidated statement of operations in the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company was also required to issue 1,052,179 shares of common stock as part of the amendments fees on the Closing Date, or $25.0 million fair value in the aggregate. Of this amount, recognition of $18.1 million was deferred and is amortized over the life of the respective credit facilities with the effective interest method and $6.9 million was expensed in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the year ended December 31, 2018. The fair value of the shares issued at the Closing Date are based on a Level 1 measurement of the share’s price, which was $23.8 (as adjusted for the 1-for-14 reverse stock split the Company effected on May 2, 2019) as of August 10, 2018. The Company incurred $51.3 million and $14.3 million of professional fees related to the refinancing discussions with its lenders reported under “Other income/(expenses), net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additionally, the Company deferred $11.7 million of professional fees related to the Citibank facilities and is amortized over the life of the respective credit facilities. Covenants, Events of Defaults, Collaterals and Guarantees The 2018 Credit Facilities contain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain: (i) minimum collateral to loan value coverage on a charter-free basis increasing from 57.0% as of December 31, 2018 to 100% as of September 30, 2023 and thereafter, (ii) minimum collateral to loan value coverage on a charter-attached basis increasing from 69.5% as of December 31, 2018 to 100% as of September 30, 2023 and thereafter, (iii) minimum liquidity of $30 million throughout the term of the 2018 Credit Facilities, (iv) maximum consolidated net leverage ratio, declining from 7.50x as of December 31, 2018 to 5.50x as of September 30, 2023 and thereafter, (v) minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.50x throughout the term of the 2018 Credit Facilities and (vi) minimum consolidated market value adjusted net worth increasing from negative $510 million as of December 31, 2018 to $60 million as of September 30, 2023 and thereafter.

In connection with the refinancing, the Company has refinanced two of its 13,100 TEU vessels, the Hyundai Honour and the Hyundai Respect in April 2019. See the Note 4 "Fixed Assets, Net" for further details. Exit Fee As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has an accrued Exit Fee of $22.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively, relating to its debt facilities and is reported under “Long-term debt, net” in the consolidated Balance Sheets. The payment of the exit fees accrued under the long-term debt prior to the debt refinancing shall be postponed on the earlier of maturity, acceleration or prepayment or repayment in full of the amended facilities or the relevant facility refinancing. The exit fees will accrete in the consolidated statement of operations of the Company over the life of the respective facilities covered by the Refinancing (which does not include the Sinosure-CEXIM -Citibank-ABN Amro credit facility) up to the agreed full exit fees payable amounting to $24.0 million. Sinosure-CEXIM -Citibank-ABN Amro credit facility and KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facility On the Closing Date the Company amended and restated the Sinosure-CEXIM -Citibank-ABN Amro credit facility, dated as of February 21, 2011, primarily to align its financial covenants with those contained in the new credit facilities and provide second lien collateral to lenders under certain of the 2018 Credit Facilities. On June 27, 2018, the Company gave notice to the lenders under the KEXIM-ABN Amro credit facility and fully repaid the $17.5 million outstanding under this facility on July 20, 2018. Principal Payments The Sinosure–Cexim–Citibank–ABN Amro credit facility provides for semi-annual amortization payments.The 2018 Credit Facilities provide for quarterly fixed and variable amortization payments, together representing approximately 85% of actual free cash flows from the relevant vessels securing such credit facilities, subject to certain adjustments. The 2018 Credit Facilities have maturity dates of December 31, 2023 (or in some cases as indicated below, June 30, 2024). After giving effect to the debt refinancing consummated on August 10, 2018, scheduled debt maturities of total long-term debt subsequent to December 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): Total Fixed principal Final principal Payments due by period ended repayments payments * payments December 31, 2020 $ 119,673 — $ 119,673 December 31, 2021 119,603 — 119,603 December 31, 2022 89,773 — 89,773 December 31, 2023 77,194 717,538 794,732 June 30, 2024 — 297,886 297,886 Total long-term debt $ 406,243 $ 1,015,424 $ 1,421,667 * The final payments include the unamortized remaining principal debt balances under the 2018 Credit Facilities, as such amount will be determinable following the fixed amortization. As mentioned above, the Company is also subject to quarterly variable principal amortization based on actual free cash flows, which are included under “Final payments ” in this table. Accounting for the Restructuring Agreement The Company performed an accounting analysis on a lender by lender basis to determine which accounting guidance applied to each of the amendments to its existing credit facilities as part of the 2018 Refinancing. The following guidance was used to perform the analysis: (i) As set forth in ASC 470-60, “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings” troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting is required when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and the creditor has granted a concession. A concession is granted when the effective borrowing rate on the restructured debt is less than the effective borrowing rate on the original debt. The application of TDR accounting requires a comparison of the recorded value of each debt instrument prior to restructuring to the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows to be received by a creditor under the newly restructured debt instrument. Interest expense in future periods is determined by the effective interest rate required to discount the newly restructured future cash flows to equal the recorded value of the debt instrument without regard to how the parties allocated these cash flows to principal and interest in the restructured agreement. In cases in which the recorded value of the debt instrument exceeds the sum of undiscounted future cash flows to be received under the restructured debt instrument, the recorded value is reduced to the sum of undiscounted future cash flows, and a gain is recorded. In this instance, no future interest expense will be recorded on the affected facilities, as the adjusted recorded value and the undiscounted future cash flows are equal and the effective interest rate is zero. (ii) For lenders on which the Company concluded that the above changes to the terms of long-term debt do not constitute a troubled debt restructuring as no concession has been granted, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments. The accounting treatment is determined by whether (1) the lender (creditor) remains the same and (2) terms of the new debt and original debt are substantially different. The new debt and the old debt are considered “substantially different” pursuant to ASC 470-50 when the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt should be initially recorded at fair value, with the difference recognized as an extinguishment gain or loss. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded for the lenders that participated in both the credit facilities existing immediately prior to the 2018 Refinancing and the 2018 Credit Facilities, the following accounting: Troubled Debt Restructuring Prior to the finalization of the Refinancing, the Company concluded that it was experiencing financial difficulty and that certain of the lenders granted a concession (as part of the Refinancing). The Company was experiencing financial difficulty primarily as a result of the projected cash flows not being sufficient to service the balloon payment due as of December 31, 2018 without restructuring and the Company was not able to obtain funding from sources other than existing creditors at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for similar debt. As a result, the following accounting has been applied at the Closing Date: (i) As of the Closing Date, the outstanding balance of HSH Facility was $639.2 million. In exchange for reduction of principal of $251.0 million, the lenders received a total of 3.5 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $83.9 million, resulting in a net concession of $167.1 million. Accumulated accrued interest of $129.3 million was recognized using the Libor rate of 2.34% as of August 10, 2018. The TDR accounting guidance requires the Company to record the value of the new debt to its restructured undiscounted cash flows over the life of the loan, including cash flows associated with the remaining scheduled interest and principal payments. In cases in which the recorded value of the debt instrument exceeds the sum of undiscounted future cash flows to be received under the restructured debt instrument, the recorded value is reduced to the sum of undiscounted future cash flows, and a gain is recorded. For the HSH Facility, the total undiscounted future cash flows total $518.6 million, which results in a gain of $36.6 million. The amendment fees to be paid to HSH Facility lenders of $9.5 million were recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and reduced the net gain on debt extinguishment in the year ended December 31, 2018. (ii) As of the Closing Date, the outstanding balance of RBS Facility was $660.9 million. In exchange for reduction of principal of $179.2 million, the lender received a total of 2.5 million shares of common stock with a fair value of $59.9 million, resulting in a net concession of $119.3 million and accumulated accrued interest of $119.3 million as of August 10, 2018. The TDR accounting guidance requires the Company to record the value of the new debt to its restructured undiscounted cash flows over the life of the loan, including cash flows associated with the remaining scheduled interest and principal payments not to exceed the carrying amount of the original debt. For the RBS Facility, the undiscounted cash flows exceed the recorded value of the modified debt, and as such, the modified and new debt is accreted up to its maturity value using the effective interest rate inherent in the restructured cash flows. The amendment fees to be paid to RBS of $9.3 million were deferred and is recognized through the consolidated statement of operations using the effective interest method. Following the issuance of the shares of common stock, HSH and RBS are considered related parties. The fair value of the shares issued at the Closing Date are based on a Level 1 measurement of the share’s price, which was $23.8 (as adjusted for the 1 -for-14 reverse stock split the Company effected on May 2, 2019) as of August 10, 2018. Modification and Extinguishment Accounting Based on the accounting analysis performed, the Company concluded that: (i) As of the Closing Date, the outstanding balance for the Credit Suisse Facility, the Credit Suisse and Sentina portions of the New Club Facility and the Eurobank portion of the Citibank-Eurobank Facility was $173.5 million, $125.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The present value of the cash flows under the Credit Suisse facilities and Sentina portion of the New Club Facility and Eurobank portion of the Citibank–Eurobank Facility, as amended by the debt refinancing, were not substantially different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instruments prior to the debt refinancing, and, as such, were accounted for the debt refinancing as a modification. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded and a new effective interest rate was established based on the carrying value of the long-term loan prior to the debt refinancing becoming effective and the revised cash flows pursuant to the debt refinancing, including the fair value of the shares issued to the lender as part of the amendment fees. Total amendment fees paid in cash and shares to the Credit Suisse Facility, New Club Facility and Eurobank portion of the Citibank–Eurobank Facility were $15.1 million, $10.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and are deferred over the life of the facilities and recognized through the new effective interest method. (ii) The present value of the cash flows for all of the Existing Citibank facilities amounting to $152.9 million plus the Citibank-New Money amounting to $325.9 million, was substantially different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument prior to the debt refinancing, and, as such, accounted for the debt refinancing as an extinguishment. Accordingly, we derecognized the carrying value of the prior Citibank debt facilities and recorded the refinanced debt at fair value totaling $448.2 million. Total new fees of $49.5 million were recorded directly in the consolidated statement of operations under the gain on debt extinguishment in the year ended December 31, 2018. The fair value of the new Citibank facilities was determined by the Company through an independent valuation using an issue date, risk adjusted market interest rate of 7.15% per annum, similar to the market yield for unsecured high yield bonds to the shipping companies, and considered to be a Level 2 input in the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy. The outstanding principal and related exit fee payable for the Deutsche Bank Facility, the EnTrustPermal portion of the Club Facility and the ABN Amro-Bank of America Merrill Lynch-Burlington Loan Management-National Bank of Greece Facility (“Other facilities”) totaling $450.8 million were extinguished with the proceeds from the Citibank–New Money amounting to $325.9 million and with corporate cash amounting to $12.0 million, resulting in a net gain on debt extinguishment of $89.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. |

Taxes | 12. Taxes Under the laws of the countries of the Company’s ship owning subsidiaries’ incorporation and/or vessels’ registration, the Company’s ship operating subsidiaries are not subject to tax on international shipping income, however, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have been included in Vessel Operating Expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), U.S.‑source income from the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. tax if the company operating the ships meets certain requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the company operating the ships must be incorporated in a country which grants an equivalent exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All of the Company’s ship‑operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must be more than 50% owned by individuals who are residents, as defined, in the countries of incorporation or another foreign country that grants an equivalent exemption to U.S. corporations. These companies satisfied the more than 50% beneficial ownership requirement for 2019. In addition, should the beneficial ownership requirement not be met, the management of the Company believes that by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company like the Company, the more than 50% beneficial ownership requirement can also be satisfied based on the trading volume , the Company’s shareholder composition and the anticipated widely‑held ownership of the Company’s shares, but no assurance can be given that this will be the case or remain so in the future, since continued compliance with this rule is subject to factors outside of the Company’s control. |
Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments | |
Financial Instruments | 13. Financial Instruments The principal financial assets of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other assets. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of long‑term bank loans. The following is a summary of the Company’s risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk arises on bank borrowings. The Company monitors the interest rate on borrowings closely to ensure that the borrowings are maintained at favorable rates. The interest rates relating to the long-term loans are disclosed in Note 10, “Long-term Debt, net”. Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that are potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non‑performance by counterparties to derivative instruments, however, the Company limits this exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings. The Company depends upon a limited number of customers for a large part of its revenues. Refer to Note 14, “Operating Revenue”, for further details on revenue from significant clients. Credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is generally managed by the selection of customers among the major liner companies in the world and their dispersion across many geographic areas. Fair Value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of financial assets and liabilities (excluding long-term bank loans and certain other non-current assets) approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term floating rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of available for sale securities is estimated based on either observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. The Company is exposed to changes in fair value of available for sale securities as there is no hedging strategy. Interest Rate Swaps: The Company currently has no outstanding interest rate swaps agreements. However, in the past years, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements with its lenders in order to manage its floating rate exposure. Certain variable-rate interests on specific borrowings were associated with vessels under construction and were capitalized as a cost of the specific vessels. In accordance with the accounting guidance on derivatives and hedging, the amounts related to realized gains or losses on cash flow hedges that have been entered into and qualified for hedge accounting, in order to hedge the variability of that interest, were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified into earnings over the depreciable life of the constructed asset, since that depreciable life coincides with the amortization period for the capitalized interest cost on the debt. An amount of $3.6 million, $3.7 million and $3.7 million was reclassified into earnings for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, representing amortization over the depreciable life of the vessels. Additionally, the Company recognized accelerated amortization of these deferred realized losses of nil, $1.4 million and nil in connection with the impairment losses recognized on the respective vessels for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. An amount of $3.6 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.

Additionally the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million of related share issuance costs. On May 2, 2019, the Company effected a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. All share and per share data disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements give effect to this reverse stock split retroactively, for all periods presented. The reverse stock split reduced the number of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock from 213,324,455 to 15,237,456 on May 2, 2019 and affected all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection to the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company's common stock received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The par value and other terms of the Company's common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split. Our largest stockholder DIL contributed $10 million to the Company in connection with the consummation of the Refinancing on August 10, 2018. DIL did not receive any shares of common stock or other interests in the Company as a result of this contribution. Additionally, on August 10, 2018, in connection with this debt refinancing, the Company issued 7,095,877 shares new shares of common stock to certain of the Company’s lenders, which represented 47.5% of the outstanding common stock immediately after this issuance.

Following the sale of shares of common stock in the public offering completed in December 2019 described above, these conditions are fully satisfied. In 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 15,000,000 warrants to its lenders under the 2011 bank agreement with its lenders and the January 2011 credit facilities to purchase, solely on a cashless exercise basis, an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of its common stock, which warrants have an exercise price of $7.00 per share.

A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Inter‑company transaction balances and unrealized gains/(losses) on transactions between the companies are eliminated. |
Investments in affiliates | Investments in affiliates: The Company’s investments in affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and the Company’s proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. The Company evaluates its investments in affiliates for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such investments may have experienced other than temporary decline in value below their carrying value. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value and is considered an other than temporary decline, the carrying value is written down to its estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on‑going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to future drydock dates, the selection of useful lives for tangible assets, expected future cash flows from long‑lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for accounts receivables, provisions for legal disputes, and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions. |
Reclassifications in Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) | Reclassifications in Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss): The Company had the following reclassifications out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively (in thousands): Year ended December 31, Location of Reclassification into Income 2019 2018 2017 Amortization of deferred realized losses on cash flow hedges Net unrealized and realized losses on derivatives $ 3,622 $ 3,694 $ 3,694 Accelerated amortization of deferred realized losses on cash flow hedges Net unrealized and realized losses on derivatives — 1,443 — Total Reclassifications $ 3,622 $ 5,137 $ 3,694 |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company engages in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although its operations may expose it to certain levels of foreign currency risk, its transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Additionally, the Company’s wholly‑owned vessel subsidiaries transacted a nominal amount of their operations in Euros; however, all of the subsidiaries’ primary cash flows are U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The foreign currency exchange gains/(losses) recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were $0.2 million loss, $0.1 million loss and $0.4 million loss, respectively. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of interest bearing call deposits, where the Company has instant access to its funds and withdrawals and deposits can be made at any time, as well as time deposits with original maturities of three months or less which are not restricted for use or withdrawal. Cash and cash equivalents of $139.2 million as of December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018: $77.3 million) comprised cash balances and short-term deposits. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash: Cash restricted accounts include retention accounts. Until the full repayment of the KEXIM ABN Amro loan facility in June 2018, the Company was required to deposit one-third of quarterly and one‑sixth of the semi‑annual principal installments and interest payments, respectively, due on the outstanding loan balance monthly in a retention account. On the rollover settlement date, both principal and interest were paid from the retention account. Refer to Note 3, "Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash”. |
Accounts Receivable, Net | Accounts Receivable, Net: The amount shown as Accounts Receivable, net, at each balance sheet date includes estimated recoveries from charterers for hire and demurrage billings, net of a provision for doubtful accounts. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s history of write‑offs, level of past due accounts based on the contractual term of the receivables and its relationships with and economic status of its customers. Bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified. |
Insurance Claims | Insurance Claims: Insurance claims represent the claimable expenses, net of deductibles, which are expected to be recovered from insurance companies. Any costs to complete the claims are included in accrued liabilities. The Company accounts for the cost of possible additional call amounts under its insurance arrangements in accordance with the accounting guidance for contingencies based on the Company’s historical experience and the shipping industry practices. Insurance claims are included in the consolidated balance sheet line item “Other current assets”. |
Prepaid Expenses and Inventories | Prepaid Expenses and Inventories: Prepaid expenses consist mainly of insurance expenses, and inventories consist of bunkers, lubricants and provisions remaining on board the vessels at each period end, which are valued at cost as determined using the first‑in, first‑out method. Costs of spare parts are expensed as incurred. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs: Loan arrangement fees incurred for obtaining new loans, for loans that have been accounted for as modified and the fees paid to third parties for loans that have been accounted for as extinguished, where there is a replacement debt and the lender remains the same, are deferred and amortized over the loans’ respective repayment periods using the effective interest rate method and are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability. Unamortized deferred financing costs for extinguished facilities are written-off. Loan arrangement fees related to the facilities accounted for under troubled debt restructuring with future undiscounted cash flows greater than the net carrying value of the original debt are capitalized and amortized over the loan respective repayment period using the effective interest rate method. Additionally, amortization of deferred finance costs amounting to $16.9 million, $15.00 million and $11.2 million is included in interest expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
Fixed Assets | Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist of vessels. Vessels are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of vessels consists of the contract purchase price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition (improvements and delivery expenses). Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Otherwise, these expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Interest costs while under construction are included in vessels’ cost. The Company has acquired certain vessels in the secondhand market in prior years, all of which were considered to be acquisitions of assets. Following adoption of ASU 2017-01 “Business Combinations (Topic 805)” on January 1, 2018, the Company evaluates if any vessel acquisition in secondhand market constitutes a business or not. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The following assets are considered as a single asset for the purposes of the evaluation (i) a tangible asset that is attached to and cannot be physically removed and used separately from another tangible assets (or an intangible asset representing the right to use a tangible asset); (ii) in place lease intangibles, including favorable and unfavorable intangible assets or liabilities, and the related leased assets. The Company charters in two of its vessels Hyundai Honour and Hyundai Respect under a five years sale and leaseback arrangement. The proceeds received by the Company from the buyer-lessor were recognized as a financial leaseback obligation as this arrangement did not qualify for a sale of these vessels. The Company has substantive repurchase obligation of these vessels at the end of the leaseback period or earlier, at the Company's option, and retains the control over these vessels. Each leaseback payment is allocated between the liability and interest expense to achieve a constant interest rate on the leaseback obligation outstanding. The interest element of the leaseback payment is charged under "Interest expense" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations over the leaseback period. |
Depreciation | Depreciation: The cost of the Company’s vessels is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the vessels’ remaining economic useful lives after considering the estimated residual value (refer to Note 4, “Fixed Assets, net”). Management has estimated the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 30 years from the year built. |
Vessels held for sale | Vessels held for sale: Vessels are classified as “Vessels held for sale” when all of the following criteria are met: management has committed to a plan to sell the vessel; the vessel is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of vessels; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the vessel have been initiated; the sale of the vessel is probable and transfer of the vessel is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Vessels classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These vessels are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. |
Accounting for Special Survey and Drydocking Costs | Accounting for Special Survey and Drydocking Costs: The Company follows the accounting guidance for planned major maintenance activities. Drydocking and special survey costs, which are reported in the balance sheet within “Deferred charges, net”, include planned major maintenance and overhaul activities for ongoing certification including the inspection, refurbishment and replacement of steel, engine components, electrical, pipes and valves, and other parts of the vessel. The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for special survey and drydocking costs, whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight‑line basis over the period until the next scheduled survey and drydocking, which is two and a half years. If special survey or drydocking is performed prior to the scheduled date, the remaining unamortized balances are immediately written off. The amortization periods reflect the estimated useful economic life of the deferred charge, which is the period between each special survey and drydocking. Costs incurred during the drydocking period relating to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed. The unamortized portion of special survey and drydocking costs for vessels sold is included as part of the carrying amount of the vessel in determining the gain/(loss) on sale of the vessel. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | Impairment of Long‑lived Assets: The accounting standard for impairment of long‑lived assets requires that long‑lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used or disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In the case of long‑lived assets held and used, if the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company concluded that events and circumstances triggered the existence of potential impairment of its vessels. These indicators included volatility in the charter market and the vessels’ market values, as well as the potential impact the current marketplace may have on its future operations. As a result, the Company performed step one of the impairment assessment of the Company’s vessels by comparing the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for each vessel to its carrying value. The Company’s strategy is to charter its vessels under multi‑year, fixed rate period charters that range from less than 1 to 18 years for vessels in its fleet, providing the Company with contracted stable cash flows. The significant factors and assumptions the Company used in its undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis included, among others, operating revenues, off‑hire revenues, drydocking costs, operating expenses and management fees estimates. Revenue assumptions were based on contracted time charter rates up to the end of life of the current contract of each vessel as well as the estimated average time charter equivalent rates for the remaining life of the vessel after the completion of its current contract. The estimated daily time charter equivalent rates used for non‑contracted revenue days are based on a combination of (i) recent charter market rates, (ii) conditions existing in the containership market as of December 31, 2019; (iii) historical average time charter rates, based on publications by independent third party maritime research services, and (iv) estimated future time charter rates, based on publications by independent third party maritime research services that provide such forecasts. Recognizing that the container transportation industry is cyclical and subject to significant volatility based on factors beyond the Company’s control, management believes the use of revenue estimates, based on the combination of factors (i) to (iv) above, to be reasonable as of the reporting date. In addition, the Company used an annual operating expenses escalation factor and estimates of scheduled and unscheduled off‑hire revenues based on historical experience. All estimates used and assumptions made were in accordance with the Company’s internal budgets and historical experience of the shipping industry. As at December 31, 2019, the Company's assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was not required for any vessel, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows of all vessels exceeded the carrying value of the respective vessels. As of December 31, 2019, no impairment loss was identified. As at December 31, 2018, the Company’s assessment concluded that step two of the impairment analysis was required for certain of its vessels, as the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows of certain vessels did not exceed the carrying value of the respective vessels. Fair value of each vessel was determined by management with the assistance from valuations obtained by third party independent shipbrokers. As of December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $210.7 million for ten of its vessels that are held and used, which is reflected under “Impairment loss” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Investments in Debt Securities | Investments in Debt Securities: The Company classified its debt securities originally as held-to-maturity based on management’s positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and were reported at amortized cost, subject to impairment up until December 31, 2016. During 2017, the Company sold a portion of its debt securities, originally classified as held to maturity and as such reclassified remaining held to maturity debt securities into the available for sale category. The transfer between the categories is accounted for at fair value. The unrealized holding gain/(loss) upon transfer from held to maturity category to available for sale category is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gain/(loss) included in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), subject to impairment. An unrealized loss exists when the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. Interest income, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in the interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon sale, realized gain/(loss) is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on specific identification method. Management evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. Consideration is given to: 1) if the Company intends to sell the security (that is, it has decided to sell the security); 2) it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its entire amortized cost basis; or 3) a credit loss exists—that is, the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security (the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis of the security). |
Investments in Equity Securities | Investments in Equity Securities: The Company classifies its equity securities of ZIM at cost as the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. Equity securities of HMM were acquired and held principally for the purpose of resale in the near term and were classified as trading securities based on management’s intention on the date of acquisition and were recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices with changes in fair value and realized gains/(losses) presented under “Other income/(expenses), net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company sold equity securities of HMM in 2016. Management evaluates the equity security for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. An investment is considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its cost. Consideration is given to significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee, significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographic area or the industry in which the investee operates, as well as factors that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants. |
Pension and Retirement Benefit Obligations-Crew | Pension and Retirement Benefit Obligations‑Crew: The crew on board the companies’ vessels serve in such capacity under short‑term contracts (usually up to seven months) and accordingly, the vessel‑owning companies are not liable for any pension or post‑retirement benefits. |
Accounting for Revenue and Expenses | Accounting for Revenue and Expenses: The Company derives its revenue from time charters and bareboat charters of its vessels, each of which contains a lease. These charters involve placing the specified vessel at charterers’ use for a specified rental period of time in return for the payment of specified daily hire rates. Most of the charters include options for the charterers to extend their terms. Under a time charter, the daily hire rate includes lease component related to the right of use of the vessel and non-lease components primarily related to the operating expenses of the vessel incurred by the Company such as commissions, vessel operating expenses: crew expenses, lubricants, certain insurance expenses, repair and maintenance, spares, stores etc. and vessel management fees. Under a bareboat charter, the daily hire rate includes only lease component related to the right of use of the vessel. The revenue earned based on time charters is not negotiated in separate components. Revenue from the Company’s time charters and bareboat charters of vessels is accounted for as operating leases on a straight line basis based on the average fixed rentals over the minimum fixed rental period of the time charter and bareboat charter agreements, as service is performed. The Company elected the practical expedient which allows the Company to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for the leases where the timing and pattern of transfer for the nonlease component and the associated lease component to the lessees are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The combined component is therefore accounted for as an operating lease under ASC 842, as the lease components are the predominant characteristics, in 2019. The Company adopted the new “Leases” standard (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The Company elected the practical expedient to use the effective date of adoption as the date of initial application. Furthermore the Company elected practical expedients, which allow entities (i) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (iii) to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases and (iv) which allows to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component due to its predominant characteristic. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements since the Company is primarily a lessor and the accounting for lessors is largely unchanged under this standard. |
Voyage Expenses | Voyage Expenses: Voyage expenses include port and canal charges, bunker (fuel) expenses (bunker costs are normally covered by the Company’s charterers, except in certain cases such as vessel re‑positioning), address commissions and brokerage commissions. Under multi‑year time charters and bareboat charters, such as those on which the Company charters its containerships and under short‑term time charters, the charterers bear the voyage expenses other than brokerage and address commissions. As such, voyage expenses represent a relatively small portion of the vessels’ overall expenses. |
Vessel Operating Expenses | Vessel Operating Expenses: Vessel operating expenses include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses for repairs and maintenance, the cost of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. Aggregate expenses increase as the size of the Company’s fleet increases. Under multi‑year time charters, the Company pays for vessel operating expenses. Under bareboat charters, the Company’s charterers bear most vessel operating expenses, including the costs of crewing, insurance, surveys, drydockings, maintenance and repairs. |
General and administrative expenses | General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses include management fees paid to the vessels’ manager (refer to Note 11, “Related Party Transactions”), audit fees, legal fees, board remuneration, executive officers compensation, directors & officers insurance and stock exchange fees. |
Repairs and Maintenance | Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses are charged against income when incurred and are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Dividends | Dividends: Dividends, if any, are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are declared by the Company’s board of directors. |
Troubled Debt Restructuring and Accumulated Accrued Interest | Troubled Debt Restructuring and Accumulated Accrued Interest: Prior to the finalization of the Refinancing (refer to Note 10, “Long-Term Debt, Net”), the Company concluded that it was experiencing financial difficulty and that certain of the lenders granted a concession (as part of the Refinancing). The Company was experiencing financial difficulty primarily as a result of the projected cash flows not being sufficient to service the balloon payment due as of December 31, 2018 without restructuring and the Company was not able to obtain funding from sources other than existing creditors at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for similar debt. As a result, the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) was applied at the Closing Date. The TDR accounting guidance requires the Company to record the value of the new debt to its restructured undiscounted cash flows over the life of the loan, including cash flows associated with the remaining scheduled interest and principal payments not to exceed the carrying amount of the original debt. In cases in which the recorded value of the debt instrument exceeds the sum of undiscounted future cash flows to be received under the restructured debt instrument, the recorded value is reduced to the sum of undiscounted future cash flows, and a gain is recorded. As a result of the TDR accounting, the interest expense related to the future periods on certain facilities was recognized under the accumulated accrued interest line in the Balance Sheet. Interest payments relating to the future interest recognized in accumulated accrued interest, are recognized as a reduction to the accumulated accrued interest payable when these are paid. As a result, these interest payments are not recorded as interest expense. In the future, when interest rates change, actual cash flows will differ from the cash flows measured on the Refinancing closing date. The accounting treatment for changes in cash flows due to changes in interest rates depends on whether there is an increase or a decrease from the spot interest rate used in the initial TDR accounting (“threshold interest rate”). Fluctuations in the effective interest rate after the Refinancing from changes in the interest rate or other cause are accounted for as changes in estimates in the periods in which these changes occur. Upon an increase in the interest rates from the threshold interest rate used to calculate accumulated accrued interest payable, the Company recognizes additional interest expenses in the period the expense is incurred. The additional interest expense is calculated by multiplying the difference between the current interest rate and the threshold interest rate with the current carrying value of the debt. A gain due to decrease in interest rates (‘interest windfall’) will not be recognized until the debt facilities have been settled and there are no future interest payments. In case there are subsequent increases in interest rates above the threshold interest rate after a previous decrease in interest rates, the carrying amount of the accumulated accrued interest will be reduced by the interest payments in excess of the threshold interest rate until the prior interest windfall due to decrease in the interest rates is recaptured on a cumulative basis. The Paid-in-kind interest (“PIK interest”) related to each period will increase the carrying value of the loan facility and correspondingly decrease the carrying value of the accumulated accrued interest. PIK interest in excess of the amount recognized in the accumulated accrued interest is expensed in the period the expense is incurred. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting: The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations by total charter revenues. Although revenue can be identified for different types of charters, management does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for different charters. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet, and thus the Company has determined that it has only one operating and reportable segment. |
Going Concern | Going Concern: The management of the Company assesses the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at each period end. The assessment evaluates whether there are conditions that give rise to substantial doubt to continue as a going concern within one year from the consolidated financial statements issuance date. If a substantial doubt to continue as a going concern is identified and after considering management’s plans this substantial doubt is alleviated the Company discloses the following: (i) principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans), (ii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, (iii) management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If a substantial doubt to continue as a going concern is identified and after considering management’s plans this substantial doubt is not alleviated the Company discloses the following: (i) a statement indicating that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, (ii) principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, (iii) management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations, and (iv) management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company updates the going concern disclosure in subsequent periods until the period in which substantial doubt no longer exists disclosing how the relevant conditions or events that raised substantial doubt were resolved. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments: The Company entered into interest rate swap contracts to create economic hedges for its interest rate risks. The Company recorded these financial instruments at their fair value. When such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in their fair value are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When the derivatives do qualify for hedge accounting, depending upon the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments through income, or recognized in other comprehensive income (effective portion) and are reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in income. At the inception of the transaction, the Company documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivative financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. On July 1, 2012, the Company elected to prospectively de‑designate fair value and cash flow interest rate swaps for which it was obtaining hedge accounting treatment due to the compliance burden associated with this accounting policy. As a result, all changes in the fair value of the Company’s cash flow interest rate swap agreements were recorded in earnings under “Net Unrealized and Realized Losses on Derivatives” from the de‑designation date forward. The Company evaluated whether it is probable that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable to not occur in the originally specified time period. The Company has concluded that the previously hedged forecasted interest payments are probable of occurring. Therefore, unrealized gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with the previously designated cash flow interest rate swaps will remain frozen in accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in earnings when the interest payments will be recognized. If such interest payments were to be identified as being probable of not occurring, the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance pertaining to these amounts would be reversed through earnings immediately. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes. |
Earnings/(Loss) Per Share | Earnings/(Loss) Per Share: The Company has presented net earnings/(loss) per share for all years presented based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of common stock of Danaos Corporation at the reported periods. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. The warrants issued in 2011 were excluded from the diluted earnings/(loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, because they were antidilutive. Unvested shares of restricted stock are included in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, unless considered antidilutive, based on the weighted average number of shares of restricted stock outstanding during the period. |
Equity Compensation Plan | Equity Compensation Plan: The Company has adopted an equity compensation plan (the “Plan”) in 2006 (as amended on August 2, 2019), which is generally administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The Plan allows the plan administrator to grant awards of shares of common stock or the right to receive or purchase shares of common stock to employees, directors or other persons or entities providing significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries. The actual terms of an award will be determined by the plan administrator and set forth in written award agreement with the participant. Any options granted under the Plan will be accounted for in accordance with the accounting guidance for share‑based compensation arrangements. The aggregate number of shares of common stock for which awards may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares plus the number of unvested shares granted before August 2, 2019. Awards made under the Plan that have been forfeited, cancelled or have expired, will not be treated as having been granted for purposes of the preceding sentence. Unless otherwise set forth in an award agreement, any awards outstanding under the Plan will vest immediately upon a “change of control”, as defined in the Plan. Refer to Note 17, “Stock Based Compensation”. As of April 18, 2008, the Company established the Directors Share Payment Plan (“Directors Plan”). The purpose of the Directors Plan is to provide a means of payment of all or a portion of compensation payable to directors of the Company in the form of Company’s Common Stock. Each member of the Board of Directors of the Company may participate in the Directors Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Directors Plan, Directors may elect to receive in Common Stock all or a portion of their compensation. On the last business day of each quarter, the rights of common stock are credited to each Director’s Share Payment Account. Following December 31st of each year, the Company will deliver to each Director the number of shares represented by the rights credited to their Share Payment Account during the preceding calendar year. Refer to Note 17, “Stock Based Compensation”. As of April 18, 2008, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved the Company’s ability to provide, from time to time, incentive compensation to the employees of Danaos Shipping Company Limited (the “Manager”), in the form of free shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan. Prior approval is required by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors. The plan was effective since December 31, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, employees of the Manager may receive (from time to time) shares of the Company’s common stock as additional compensation for their services offered during the preceding period. The total amount of stock to be granted to employees of the Manager will be at the Company’s Board of Directors’ discretion only and there will be no contractual obligation for any stock to be granted as part of the employees’ compensation package in future periods. Refer to Note 17, “Stock Based Compensation”. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-19 “Codification improvements to Topic 326” in December 2018, which clarifies that impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases; Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-4 “Codification improvements to Topic 326, Topic 815 and Topic 825” in April 2019, Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-11 "Codification improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses" in November 2019 and Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-2 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)" in February 2020, which clarify or addresses related issues. The ASU 2016-13 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
