Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Principles of Consolidation : (b) Use of Estimates: (c) Accounting for Revenue, Voyage and Operating Expenses: Time, bareboat and voyage charter revenues are recognized when a charter agreement exists, charter rate is fixed and determinable, the vessel is made available to the lessee, and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Revenues are recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the period of the respective charter. Revenues from profit sharing arrangements in time charters represent a portion of time charter equivalent (voyage income less direct expenses, divided by operating days), that exceeds the agreed base rate and are recognized in the period earned. Deferred revenue represents cash and other assets received in advance of being earned and deferred revenue resulting from straight-line revenue recognition in respect of charter agreements that provide for varying charter rates. The portion of the deferred revenue that will be earned within the next twelve months is classified as current liability and the rest as long-term liability. Vessel voyage expenses are direct expenses to voyage revenues and primarily consist of commissions, port expenses, canal dues and bunkers. Commissions are expensed over the related charter period and all the other voyage expenses are expensed as incurred. In general, under time and bareboat charter agreements, all voyages expenses, except commissions are assumed by the charterer. For voyage charters, all voyage expenses are paid by the Partnership. Vessel operating expenses presented in the consolidated financial statements mainly consist of: Management fees payable to the Partnership's manager, Capital Shipmanagement Corp. (the “Manager” or “CSM”) under three different types of Management agreements (Note 4); and Actual operating expenses such as crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating expenses. Vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred. (d) Foreign Currency Transactions: (e) Cash and Cash Equivalents: (f) Restricted cash: (g) Trade Accounts Receivable, Net: (h) Inventories: (i) Fixed Assets: (j) Impairment of Long-lived Assets: In recent years, market conditions, as compared to previous years, have changed significantly as a result of the global credit crisis and resulting slowdown in world trade. Charter rates decreased and values of assets were affected. The Partnership considered these market developments as indicators of potential impairment of the carrying amount of its long-lived assets. The Partnership has performed an undiscounted cash flow test based on US GAAP as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, determining undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for the vessels and comparing them to the carrying values of the vessels, and any related intangible assets and liabilities. In developing estimates of future cash flows, the Partnership made assumptions about future charter rates, utilization rates, vessel operating expenses, future dry docking costs and the estimated remaining useful life of the vessels. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations that are in line with the Partnership's historical performance and expectations for the vessels' utilization under the current deployment strategy. Based on these assumptions, the Partnership determined that the vessels' and their related intangible assets and liabilities were not impaired as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

This ASU addresses certain cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. It must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively from the earliest date practicable, if retrospective application would be impracticable. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected early adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued the ASU No 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued the ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The main provision of this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The FASB decided to not fundamentally change lessor accounting. However, some changes have been made to lessor accounting to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within U.S. GAAP. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. In July 2015, the FASB issued the ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory to simplify the measurement of inventory using first-in, first out (FIFO) or average cost method. According to this ASU an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected the early adoption. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued the ASU No 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09, as amended, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This standard is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on the financial statements since the revenues are generated largely from medium and long charters and has not elected early adoption. |

Business Acquisitions [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | 3. Acquisition of Filonikis Product Carrier S.A. (M/T Amor) On October 24, 2016, following the unanimous recommendation of the conflicts committee and the unanimous approval of the board of directors, the Partnership acquired the shares of Filonikis, the owning company of the M/T Amor from CMTC for a total consideration of $16,911. The Partnership also assumed, on the acquisition date, CMTC's guarantee with respect to the outstanding balance of $15,750 of the loan that Filonikis had entered into and was arranged by CMTC (Note 7). The vessel at the time of her acquisition by the Partnership was fixed on a two year time charter with Cargill International S.A. (“Cargill”) ending October 2017, with the option to terminate 30 days earlier, and immediately thereafter with CMTC for a two-month period time charter. The Partnership accounted for the acquisition of Filonikis as an acquisition of a business. All assets and liabilities of Filonikis except the vessel, necessary permits, the time charter agreements and the loan, were retained by CMTC. The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Purchase Price The total purchase consideration of $16,911 was funded by $16,000 from the Partnership's cash and the issuance of 283,696 new Partnership's common units at a price of $3.21 per unit as quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on October 24, 2016 the day of the acquisition of Filonikis (Note 12). Acquisition related costs Acquisition related costs of $264 are included in general and administrative expenses in the Partnership's consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2016. Purchase price allocation The allocation of the purchase price to acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed was based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The fair value allocated to each class of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Filonikis was calculated as follows: As of October 24, 2016 Vessel $ 31,600 Above market acquired time charters $ 1,061 Identifiable assets $ 32,661 Loan $ (15,750 ) Net assets acquired $ 16,911 Purchase price $ (16,911) The Partnership concluded that its measurements for the assets acquired appropriately reflect consideration of all available information that existed as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the vessel of $31,600 was quoted by independent ship brokers at the time of her acquisition by the Partnership and the fair value of the loan of $15,750 was determined to be its face value. Identifiable intangible assets The following table sets forth the component of the identifiable intangible asset acquired on the purchase of Filonikis which is being amortized over its duration on a straight-line basis as a reduction of revenue: Intangible assets As of Duration of time charters acquired Above market acquired time charter $1,061 1 year The fair value of the above market time charter acquired was determined as the difference between the time charter rate at which the vessel was fixed and the market rate for comparable charters as provided by independent ship brokers on the business combination date discounted at a WACC of approximately 7.5%. Total revenues and net income of Filonikis since its acquisition by the Partnership were $980 and $222 respectively and are included in the Partnership's consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2016. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The supplemental pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and is based on the following: The Partnership's actual results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 Pro forma results of operations of Filonikis for the period from the vessel's delivery from the shipyard on September 30, 2015 (vessel inception) to December 31, 2015 and from January 1, 2016 to October 24, 2016 as if the vessel was operating under post acquisition revenue and cost structure. The combined results do not purport to be indicative of the results of the operations which would have resulted had the acquisition been effected at beginning of the applicable period noted above, or the future results of operations of the combined entity. The following table summarizes total net revenues; net income and net income per common unit of the combined entity had the acquisition of Filonikis occurred on September 30, 2015 (vessel inception): For the year ended December, 31 2016 2015 Total revenues $ 245,825 $ 221,638 Partnership's net income $ 53,677 $ 55,430 Preferred unit holders' interest in Partnership's net income $ 11,101 $ 11,334 General Partner's interest in Partnership's net income $ 850 $ 881 Common unit holders interest in Partnership's net income $ 41,726 $ 43,215 Net income per common unit basic and diluted $ 0.35 $ 0.38 |

Transactions with Related Parties [Abstract] | |
Transactions with Related Parties | 4. Transactions with Related Parties The Partnership and its subsidiaries have related party transactions with CMTC which is a related party unit holder. The Partnership and its subsidiaries have also related party transactions with the Manager, arising from certain terms of the following three different types of management agreements. 1. Fixed fee management agreement: 2. Floating fee management agreement: 3. Crude management agreement: (a) a daily technical management fee per managed vessel that is revised annually based on the United States Consumer Price Index; (b) a sale & purchase fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase or sale price upon the consummation of any purchase or sale of a vessel acquired/disposed by Crude; and (c) a commercial services fee equal to 1.25% of all gross charter revenues generated by each vessel for commercial services rendered. The Manager has the right to terminate the Crude management agreement and, under certain circumstances, could receive substantial sums in connection with such termination. In March 2016 this termination fee was adjusted to $9,858 from $9,760. Effective from January 1, 2017 the Manager agreed to waive going forward (i) the sale and purchase fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase or sale price upon the consummation of any purchase or sale of the three vessels and (ii) the commercial services fee equal to 1.25% of all gross charter revenues generated by each of the three vessels for commercial services rendered. All the above three agreements constitute the “Management Agreements” and the related management fees are included in “Vessel operating expenses - related party” in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Under the terms of the fixed fee management agreement, the Manager charges the Partnership for additional fees and costs, relating to insurances deductibles, vetting, and repairs and spares that related to unforeseen events. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 such fees amounted to $205, $489 and $840, respectively and are included in “Vessel operating expenses - related party” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. On April 4, 2007, the Partnership entered into an administrative services agreement with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager has agreed to provide certain administrative management services to the Partnership such as accounting, auditing, legal, insurance, IT, clerical, and other administrative services. Also the Partnership reimburses the Manager and its general partner, Capital GP L.L.C. (the “CGP”) for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services after the Manager submits to the Partnership an invoice for such costs and expenses, together with any supporting detail that may be reasonably required. These expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In 2015, as amended in 2016, the Partnership entered into an executive services agreement with CGP according to which CGP provides certain executive officers services for the management of the Partnership's business as well as investor relation and corporate support services to the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 such fees amounted to $1,688 and $1,624 and are included in “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Fixed assets | 5. Fixed assets (a) Advances for vessels under construction - related party An analysis of advances for vessels under construction - related party is as follows: Advances for vessels under construction - related party Balance as at January 1, 2015 $66,641 Additions - Transfer to vessels (48,469 ) Balance as at December 31, 2015 $18,172 Additions — Transfer to vessels (18,172 ) Balance as at December 31, 2016 $ - On July 24, 2014, the Partnership entered into a Master Agreement with CMTC to acquire five companies that own five vessels under construction (the “new buildings”) with attached time charters, subject to the amendment of the partnership agreement to reset the target distributions to holders of the Incentive Distribution Rights (the “IDRs”) (Note 12). As the reset of the IDRs was a pre-condition for the acquisition of the vessels, the amount of $36,417, representing the difference between the fair value of $347,917 of the respective new buildings at the time of the approval of this transaction in August 2014 at the Partnership's annual general meeting and the contractual cash consideration of $311,500, was considered to be the deemed equity contribution and thus the fair value of the reset of the IDRs. The fair value of the IDRs reset has been accounted for in Partner's capital and is presented as “Excess between the fair value of the contracted vessels and the contractual cash consideration” in the consolidated statements of changes in partners' capital in the Partnership's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014. The fair value of the new buildings amounting to $347,917 was based on the average of three valuations obtained from three independent shipbrokers. Two of these five vessels are 50,000 dwt product carriers and the remaining three are 9,100 TEU post-panamax container carriers. During 2015 the Partnership acquired from CMTC the shares of four out of the five vessel owning companies. As a result, as of December 31, 2015, the amount of $18,172 consisted of advances totalling $7,921 that the Partnership paid to CMTC for the acquisition of the remaining vessel owning company and the fair value from the reset of the IDRs of $10,251 which was attributable to this vessel, and is presented as “Advances for vessels under construction-related party” in the Partnership's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. On February 26, 2016 the Partnership acquired the company owning the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena, which was the last out of the five vessel owning companies the Partnership agreed to acquire from CMTC according to the terms of the Master Agreement. As a result there were no “Advances for vessels under construction-related party” as of December 31, 2016. (b) Vessels, net An analysis of vessels is as follows: Vessel Cost Accumulated depreciation Net book value Balance as at January 1, 2015 $ 1,396,735 $ (276,665) $ 1,120,070 Acquisitions and improvements 208,523 - 208,523 Transfer from Advances for vessels under construction-related party 48,469 - 48,469 Depreciation for the period - (61,577 ) (61,577 ) Balance as at December 31, 2015 $ 1,653,727 $ (338,242) $ 1,315,485 Acquisitions and improvements 103,790 - 103,790 Transfer from Advances for vessels under construction-related party 18,172 - 18,172 Depreciation for the period - (69,716 ) (69,716 ) Balance as at December 31, 2016 $ 1,775,689 $ (407,958) $ 1,367,731 All of the Partnership's vessels as of December 31, 2016 have been provided as collateral to secure the Partnership's credit facilities. On October 24, 2016, the Partnership acquired the shares of the company owning the M/T Amor (Note 3). The Partnership accounted for this acquisition as an acquisition of business based on the existence of an integrated set of activities (inputs and processes that generate outputs). Therefore the vessel was recorded in the Partnership's financial statements at its fair value of $31,600 as quoted by independent ship brokers at the time of her acquisition by the Partnership. On February 26, 2016, the Partnership acquired the shares of the company owning the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena for a total consideration of $81,500 which was funded by loan drawdown of $35,000 from the Partnership's 2013 credit facility (Note 7) and the remaining balance of $46,500 by the Partnership's cash. The Partnership accounted for this transaction as acquisition of an asset based on the absence of processes attached to the inputs. Other than the new building and the attached time charter, no other inputs and no processes were acquired. The Partnership considered whether any value should be assigned to the attached charter party agreement acquired and concluded that the contracted daily charter rate was above the market rates on the transaction completion date and therefore, the total consideration was allocated to the vessel cost and the above market acquired charter. Thus the vessel was recorded in the Partnership's financial statements at a cost of $88,545 and the above market acquired charter at a cost of $3,206 (Note 6). On March 31, June 10, June 30 and September 18, 2015, the Partnership acquired the shares of the companies owning the M/T Active, the M/V CMA CGM Amazon, the M/T Amadeus and the M/V CMA CGM Uruguay for a total consideration of $230,000 which was funded by loan drawdowns of $115,000 from the Partnership's 2013 credit facility and the remaining balance of $115,000 through the Partnership's cash. The Partnership accounted for the acquisition of the companies owning the M/T Active, the M/V CMA CGM Amazon, the M/T Amadeus and the M/V CMA CGM Uruguay as acquisition of assets based on the absence of processes attached to the inputs. Other than the new buildings and the attached time charters, no other inputs and no processes were acquired. The Partnership considered whether any value should be assigned to the attached charter party agreements acquired and concluded that the contracted daily charter rates approximated market rates on the transaction completion dates and therefore, the total consideration was allocated to vessel cost. Thus these vessels were recorded in the Partnership's financial statements at their cost of $256,166. As of December 31, 2014 the Partnership had paid advances of $22,303 to CMTC for the acquisition of the shares of these vessel owning companies. The difference of $26,166 between the vessels' cost of $256,166 and the total consideration of $230,000 was part of the excess of $36,417 that the Partnership had recorded in its financial statements in August 2014 upon the approval of the Master Agreement and the IDRs reset at the Partnership's annual meeting. During 2016, the M/T Alkiviadis, the M/T Anemos I, the M/T Amore Mio II, the M/T Miltiadis M II and the M/T Arionas underwent improvements during their scheduled special survey respectively. In addition, during 2016 the M/V Archimidis underwent improvements. The costs of these improvements amounted to $1,817 and were capitalized as part of the vessels' cost. During 2015, the M/T Agisilaos, the M/T Avax, the M/T Akeraios, the M/T Apostolos, the M/V Archimidis and the M/V Agamemnon underwent improvements during their scheduled special survey respectively. The costs of these improvements amounted to $826 and were capitalized as part of the vessels' cost. |

Above market acquired charters [Abstract] | |
Above market acquired charters | 6. Above market acquired charters On October, 24, 2016 the Partnership acquired the shares of the company owning the M/T Amor from CMTC with outstanding time charters to Cargill and CMTC. The time charter with Cargill was above the market rate for equivalent time charters prevailing at the time of acquisition. The present value of the above market acquired time charter was estimated by the Partnership at $1,061 and recorded as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date (Note 3). The time charter with CMTC was equal to the market rate for equivalent time charters prevailing at the time of acquisition. On February 26, 2016 the Partnership acquired the shares of the company owning the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena from CMTC with outstanding time charter to CMA-CGM S.A., which was above the market rate for equivalent time charters prevailing at the time of acquisition. The present value of the above market acquired time charter of $3,206 was determined as the difference between the time charter rate at which the vessel was fixed at and the market rate for comparable charters as provided by independent third parties on the acquisition date discounted at a WACC of approximately 7.5% and was recorded as an asset in the consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 revenues included a reduction of $14,542, $14,864 and $16,000 as amortization of the above market acquired charters, respectively. An analysis of above market acquired charters is as follows: Above market acquired charters Book value Carrying amount as at January 1, 2015 $ 115,382 Amortization $ (14,864 ) Carrying amount as at December 31, 2015 $ 100,518 Acquisitions $ 4,267 Amortization $ (14,542 ) Carrying amount as at December 31, 2016 $ 90,243 As of December 31, 2016 the remaining carrying amount of unamortized above market acquired time charters was $90,243 and will be amortized in future years as follows: For the twelve month period ended December 31, Amount 2017 $ 15,209 2018 $ 14,381 2019 $ 14,381 2020 $ 11,696 2021 $ 8,417 Thereafter $ 26,159 Total $ 90,243 |

Long-Term Debt | 7. Long-Term Debt Long-term debt consists of the following: Bank loans As of December 31, 2016 As of December 31, 2015 Margin (i) Issued in March 2007 maturing in December 2019 (the “2007 credit facility”) 185,975 185,975 3.00% (ii) Issued in March 2008 maturing in December 2019 (the “2008 credit facility”) 181,641 181,641 3.00% (iii) Issued in June 2011 maturing in March 2018 (the “2011 credit facility”) 14,000 14,000 3.25% (iv) Issued in September 2013 maturing in December 2020 (the “2013 credit facility”) 207,646 190,000 3.50% (v) Assumed in October 2016 maturing in November 2022 (the “2015 credit facility”) 15,750 - 2.50% Total long-term debt $605,012 $571,616 Less: Deferred loan issuance costs 2,825 3,806 Total long-term debt, net $602,187 $567,810 Less: Current portion of long-term debt 40,534 12,957 Add: Current portion of deferred loan issuance costs 966 1,035 Long-term debt, net $562,619 $555,888 On October 24, 2016, upon the completion of the acquisition of the shares of the company owning the M/T Amor (Notes 3, 5), the Partnership assumed CMTC's guarantee with respect to the outstanding balance of $15,750 under the term loan that was entered into on November 19, 2015 with ING Bank N.V. The term loan is payable in 17 consecutive equal quarterly instalments starting two years after the vessel's acquisition plus a balloon payment with expected maturity date in November 2022. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50%. On February 23, 2016, the Partnership drew the amount of $35,000 from its existing 2013 credit facility in order to partly finance the acquisition of the shares of the company owning the M/V CMA CGM Magdalena (Note 5). During 2016, the Partnership repaid the amount of $17,354 in line with the amortization schedule of its 2013 credit facility. In April 2015, the Partnership entered into three amendments to its 2007, 2008 and 2011 credit facilities providing for: the prepayments made on April 30, 2015, and funded by the proceeds of the April 2015 offering of common units (Note 12), of the scheduled four quarterly amortization payments in 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 in the respective aggregate amounts of $64,875, $46,024 and $5,000; the deferral, following the prepayments, of any further scheduled amortization payments until November 2017 for the 2007 and 2008 credit facilities and until December 2017 for the 2011 credit facility; an extension of the final maturity date to December 31, 2019 for the 2007 and 2008 credit facilities; and an increase of the interest rate under the 2007 credit facility to 3.0% over LIBOR from 2.0% over LIBOR. All other terms in our existing credit facilities remained unchanged. During 2015, the Partnership drew down the amount of $115,000 from its 2013 credit facility in order to partly finance the acquisition of the shares of the companies owning the M/T Active, the M/V CMA CGM Amazon, the M/T Amadeus and the M/V CMA CGM Uruguay respectively (Note 5). The Partnership's credit facilities contain customary ship finance covenants, including restrictions as to changes in management and ownership of the mortgaged vessels, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the mortgaging of vessels and requirements such as, the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest Expenses to be no less than 2:1, a minimum cash requirement of $500 per vessel, and the ratio of net Total Indebtedness to the aggregate Market Value of the fleet not to exceed 0.725:1. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, restricted cash amounted to $18,000 and $17,000, respectively and is presented under other non-current assets. The credit facilities also contain a collateral maintenance requirement under which the aggregate fair market value of the collateral vessels should not be less than 120% for the 2015 credit facility and 125% for the other credit facilities, of the aggregate outstanding amount under these facilities. Also the vessel-owning companies may pay dividends or make distributions when no event of default has occurred and the payment of such dividend or distribution has not resulted in a breach of any of the financial covenants. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants. The credit facilities have a general assignment of the earnings, insurances and requisition compensation of the respective collateral vessel or vessels. Each also requires additional security, such as pledge and charge on current accounts and mortgage interest insurance. As of December 31, 2016 there were no undrawn amounts under the Partnership's credit facilities. As of December 31, 2015 the Partnership had an undrawn amount of $35,000 under its 2013 credit facility. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Partnership recorded interest expense of $22,674, $17,856 and $16,480 respectively which is included in “Interest expense and finance cost” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the weighted average interest rate of the Partnership's loan facilities was 4.01% and 3.65% respectively. The required annual loan payments to be made subsequent to December 31, 2016 are as follows: 2007 Credit Facility (i) 2008 Credit Facility (ii) 2011 Credit Facility (iii) 2013 Credit Facility (iv) 2015 Credit Facility (v) Total 2017 $12,975 $9,205 $1,000 $17,354 $- $40,534 2018 51,900 36,819 13,000 17,354 328 119,401 2019 121,100 135,617 - 17,354 1,313 275,384 2020 - - - 155,584 1,313 156,897 2021 - - - - 1,313 1,313 Thereafter - - - - 11,483 11,483 Total $185,975 $181,641 $14,000 $207,646 $15,750 $605,012 |

Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | 8. Financial Instruments (a) Fair value of financial instruments The Partnership follows the accounting guidance for financial instruments that establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which are considered Level 1 items as they represent liquid assets with short-term maturities, trade receivables, amounts due from related parties and due to related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value. The fair values of long-term variable rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, due to their variable interest being the LIBOR and due to the fact the lenders have the ability to pass on their funding cost to the Partnership under certain circumstances, which reflects their current assessed risk. We believe the terms of our loans are similar to those that could be procured as of December 31, 2016. LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. (b) Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Partnership places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with creditworthy financial institutions rated by qualified rating agencies. A limited number of financial institutions hold the Partnership's cash. Most of the Partnership's revenues were derived from a few charterers. For the year ended December 31, 2016 Hyundai Merchant Marine Co Ltd (“HMM”), Petroleo Brasileiro S.A, CMA CGM and CMTC accounted for 19%, 18%, 17% and 15% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2015 CMTC and HMM accounted for 29% and 21% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014 CMTC, HMM and A.P. Moller-Maersk A.S. (“Maersk”) accounted for 38%, 24% and 12% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. The Partnership does not obtain rights of collateral from its charterers to reduce its credit risk. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 11. Income Taxes Under the laws of the Marshall Islands and Liberia, the country in which the vessel-owning subsidiaries were incorporated, these companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income. However, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes in the country in which the vessels are registered and managed from, which have been included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Pursuant to Section 883 of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder, a foreign corporation engaged in the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. federal income tax on its U.S.-source shipping income if the foreign corporation meets both of the following requirements: (a) the foreign corporation is organized in a foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States for the types of shipping income (e.g., voyage, time, bareboat charter) earned by the foreign corporation and (b) more than 50% of the voting power and value of the foreign corporation's stock is “primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market” in the United States and certain other requirements are satisfied (the “Publicly-Traded Test”). The jurisdictions where the Partnership's vessel-owning subsidiaries are incorporated each grants an “equivalent exemption” to United States corporations with respect to each type of shipping income earned by the Partnership's vessel-owning subsidiaries. Additionally, our units are only traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, which is considered to be established securities market. The Partnership has satisfied the Publicly-Traded Test for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 and the ship-owning subsidiaries are exempt from United States federal income taxation with respect to U.S.-source shipping income. |

Partners' Capital [Abstract] | |
Partners' Capital | 12. Partners' Capital General: Definition of Available Cash: less the amount of cash reserves established by our board of directors to: provide for the proper conduct of the Partnership's business (including reserves for future capital expenditures and for our anticipated credit needs); comply with applicable law, any of the Partnership's debt instruments, or other agreements; or provide funds for distributions to the Partnership's unitholders and to the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters; plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings that are made under our credit agreements and in all cases are used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners subject to certain exceptions set forth in the limited partnership agreement. General Partner Interest and IDRs: IDRs represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. The Partnership's general partner as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 holds the IDRs. According to the partnership agreement the following table illustrates the percentage allocations of the additional available cash from operating surplus among the unitholders and general partner up to the various target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions” are the percentage interests of the unitholders and general partner in any available cash from operating surplus that is being distributed up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount per Unit,” until available cash from operating surplus the Partnership distributes reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the unitholders and general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests shown below assume that the Partnership's general partner maintains a 2% general partner interest and that it has not transferred its incentive distribution rights. Marginal Percentage Total Quarterly Unitholders General Minimum Quarterly Distribution $0.3750 98 % 2 % First Target Distribution up to $0.4313 98 % 2 % Second Target Distribution above $0.4313 up to $0.4688 85 % 15 % Third Target Distribution above $0.4688 up to $0.5625 75 % 25 % Thereafter above $0.5625 50 % 50 % On August 21, 2014, the Fourth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership was approved, by the Partnership's annual general meeting, so as to revise the target distributions to holders of IDRs. The Fourth Amendment resets the thresholds for the IDRs as follows: Marginal Percentage Total Quarterly Unitholders General Minimum Quarterly Distribution $0.2325 98 % 2 % First Target Distribution up to $0.2425 98 % 2 % Second Target Distribution above $0.2425 up to $0.2675 85 % 15 % Third Target Distribution above $0.2675 up to $0.2925 75 % 25 % Thereafter above $0.2925 65 % 35 % Following the annual general meeting, CMTC unilaterally notified the Partnership that it has decided to waive its rights to receive quarterly incentive distributions between $0.2425 and $0.25. This waiver effectively increases the First Threshold and the lower band of the Second Threshold (as referenced in the table above) from $0.2425 to $0.25. Distributions of Available Cash From Operating Surplus: first, 98% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 2.0% to our general partner, until we distribute for each outstanding unit an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distribution for that quarter; and thereafter, in the manner described in the above table. During 2012 and 2013 the Partnership issued in total 24,655,554 Class B Convertible Preferred Units to a group of investors including CMTC according to two separate Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Subscription Agreements (the “Agreements”) that the Partnership had entered with this group of investors in 2012 and 2013. The holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Units have the right to convert all or a portion of such Class B Convertible Preferred Units at any time into Common Units at the conversion price of $9 per Class B Convertible Preferred Unit and a conversion rate of one Common Unit per one Class B Convertible Preferred Unit. The Conversion Ratio and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events described in the limited partnership agreement. Commencing on May 23, 2015, in the event the 30-day volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) and the daily VWAP of the Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are listed or admitted to trading exceeds 130% of the then applicable Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days out of the 30 consecutive Trading Day period used to calculate the 30-day VWAP (the “Partnership Mandatory Conversion Event”) the Partnership acting pursuant to direction and approval of the Conflicts Committee (following consultation with the full board of directors), shall have the right to convert the Class B Convertible Preferred Units then outstanding in whole or in part into Common Units at the then-applicable Conversion Ratio. The holders of the outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Units as of an applicable record date shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Partnership's board of directors or any duly authorized committee, out of legally available funds for such purpose, (a) first, the minimum quarterly Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Distribution Rate on each Class B Convertible Preferred Unit and (b) second, any cumulative Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Arrearage then outstanding, prior to any other distributions made in respect of any other Partnership Interests pursuant to the Agreements in cash. The minimum quarterly Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Distribution Rate shall be payable quarterly which is generally expected to be February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10, or, if any such date is not a business day, the next succeeding business day. No distribution on the Class B Convertible Preferred Units shall be authorized by the board of directors or declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. The foregoing, distributions with respect to the Class B Convertible Preferred Units shall accumulate as of the Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution payment date on which they first become payable whether or not any of the foregoing restrictions exist, whether or not there is sufficient Available Cash for the payment thereof and whether or not such distributions are authorized. A cumulative Class B Convertible Preferred Unit arrearage shall not bear interest and holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Interests, in excess of the then cumulative Class B Convertible Preferred Unit arrearage plus the minimum quarterly Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution rate for such quarter. With respect to Class B Convertible Preferred Units that are converted into Common Units, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to a Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution and a Common Unit distribution with respect to the same period, but shall be entitled only to the distribution to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the record date for the distribution in respect of such period; provided, however, that the holder of a converted Class B Convertible Preferred Unit shall remain entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid distributions due with respect to such Unit on or as of the prior Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution payment date; and provided, further , that if the Partnership exercises the Partnership Mandatory Conversion Right to convert the Class B Convertible Preferred Units pursuant to this Agreements then the holders' rights with respect to the distribution for the Quarter in which the Partnership Mandatory Conversion Notice is received is as set forth in the limited partnership agreement. During 2015 and 2014 various holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Units including CMTC converted 1,240,404 and 4,698,484 Class B Convertible Preferred Units into common units respectively. As a result in the Partnership's Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partners' Capital, the Partnership's Limited Partners-Preferred Unitholders decreased by $10,642 and $40,287 and Partnership's Limited Partners-Common Unitholders, increased by $10,642 and $40,287, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2015, and 2014. The conversion rate was one common unit per one Class B Convertible Preferred Unit. During 2016 no such conversion occurred. During 2015 and 2014 CMTC converted 315,908 and 358,624 common units into general partner units respectively, in order for CGP to maintain its 2% interest in the Partnership. As a result in the Partnership's Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partners' Capital the Partnership's Limited Partners-Common Unitholders decreased by $2,742 and $3,696 and General Partner increased by $2,742 and $3,696, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. During 2016 CMTC did not convert any common units into general partners units. On October 24, 2016, the Partnership issued 283,696 common units according to the terms of the share purchase agreement that the Partnership entered into with CMTC in order to partly finance the acquisition of the shares of the vessel owning company of M/T Amor (Notes 3, 5). In September 2016, the Partnership entered into an equity distribution agreement with UBS Securities LLC (“UBS”) under which the Partnership may sell, from time to time, through UBS, as its sales agent, new common units having an aggregate offering amount of up to $50,000 (the “ATM offering”). The equity distribution agreement provides that UBS, when it is acting as the Partnership's sales agent, will be entitled to compensation of up to 2% of the gross sales price of the common units sold through UBS from time to time. Since the launch of the ATM offering until December 31, 2016, the Partnership issued 1,401,481 new common units resulting in net proceeds of $4,546 after the payment of commission to the sales agent, but before offering expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Partnership recognized offering expenses of $890 in connection with the ATM offering. In December 2015, the Partnership issued 850,000 common units under its Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (Note 13). In April 2015, the Partnership completed successfully a follow-on equity offering of 14,555,000 common units, including 1,100,000 common units sold to CMTC and 1,755,000 common units representing the overallotment option at a net price of $9.53 per common unit, receiving proceeds of $133,327 after the deduction of the underwriters' commissions. After the deduction of expenses relating to this equity offering, the net proceeds amounted to $132,588. In September 2014, the Partnership completed successfully a follow-on equity offering of 17,250,000 common units, including 2,250,000 common units representing the overallotment option which was fully exercised, at a net price of $10.53 per common unit, receiving proceeds of $173,932 after the deduction of the underwriters' commissions. After the deduction of expenses relating to this equity offering the net proceeds of this offering amounted to $173,504. The Partnership used an amount of $60,000 of the net proceeds to acquire common units from CMTC at a price per unit equal to the offering price (net of underwriting discount). The number of units acquired was equal to an aggregate of 5,950,610 common units which were cancelled immediately, in accordance with the terms of the offering. Furthermore, the Partnership used an additional amount of $30,224 of the net proceeds of the offering as an advance payment to CMTC in connection with the acquisition of the five new buildings described in the Master Agreement (Note 5). The remaining balance of the net proceeds of the offering was used by the Partnership to partly finance the acquisition cost of $311,500, of the new buildings from CMTC and for general Partnership purposes. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 our partners' capital included the following units: As of December 31, As of December 31, Common units 122,094,633 120,409,456 General partner units 2,439,989 2,439,989 Preferred units 12,983,333 12,983,333 Total partnership units 137,517,955 135,832,778 |

Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan [Abstract] | |
Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan | 13. Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan On April 29, 2008, the board of directors approved the Partnership's Plan according to which the Partnership may issue a limited number of awards, not to exceed 500,000 units. The Plan was amended on July 22, 2010 increasing the aggregate number of restricted units issuable under the Plan to 800,000 which was then increased to 1,650,000 common units on August 21, 2014, at the annual general meeting of the Partnership's unit holders. The Plan is administered by the general partner as authorized by the board of directors. The persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan are officers, directors, and executive, managerial, administrative and professional employees of the Manager, or CMTC, or other eligible persons (collectively, “key persons”) as the general partner, in its sole discretion, shall select based upon such factors as it deems relevant. Members of the board of directors and officers of the general partner are considered to be employees of the Partnership (“Employees”) for the purposes of recognition of equity compensation expense, while employees of the Manager, CMTC and other eligible persons under the plan are not considered to be employees of the Partnership (“Non-Employees”). Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares. On December 23, 2015 the Partnership awarded 240,000 and 610,000 unvested units to Employees and Non-Employees, respectively. Awards granted to certain Employees and Non Employees will vest in three equal annual instalments. The remaining awards will vest on December 31, 2018. All unvested units are conditional upon the grantee's continued service as Employee and/or Non-Employee until the applicable vesting date. The unvested units accrued distributions as declared and paid which are retained by the custodian of the Plan until the vesting date at which time they are payable to the grantee. As unvested unit grantees accrued distributions on awards that are expected to vest, such distributions are charged to Partner's capital. As of December 31, 2016 the unvested units accrued $324 of distributions. The following table contains details of our plan: Employee equity compensation Non-Employee equity compensation Unvested Units Units Grant-date fair Units Award-date fair Unvested on January 1, 2016 240,000 $ 1,325 610,000 $ 3,367 Vested 33,332 184 117,500 374 Unvested on December 31, 2016 206,668 $ 1,141 492,500 $ 2,993 For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 the equity compensation expense that has been charged in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income was $439, $10 and $0 for the Employee awards and $635, $24 and $0 for the Non-Employee awards, respectively. This expense has been included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for each respective year. As of December 31, 2016 the total compensation cost related to non vested awards is $2,157 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. The Partnership uses the straight-line method to recognize the cost of the awards. |

Net Income Per Unit [Abstract] | |
Net Income Per Unit | 14. Net Income Per Unit The general partner's and common unit holders' interests in net income are calculated as if all net income for periods subsequent to April 4, 2007, were distributed according to the terms of the partnership agreement, regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The partnership agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash (Note 12), which is a contractually-defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter after establishment of cash reserves determined by the Partnership's board of directors to provide for the proper resources for the Partnership's business. Unlike available cash, net income is affected by non-cash items. The Partnership follows the guidance relating to the Application of the Two-Class Method and its application to Master Limited Partnerships which considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the Two-Class Method. This guidance also considers whether the partnership agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the IDRs that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the IDRs for each reporting period. Under the partnership agreement, the holder of the IDRs in the Partnership, which is currently CGP, assuming that there are no cumulative arrearages on common unit distributions, has the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions (Note 12). The Partnership excluded the effect of the 12,983,333, 12,983,333 and 14,223,737 Class B Convertible Preferred Units in calculating dilutive EPU as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively as they were anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Partnership excluded the effect of 699,168 and 850,000 non-vested unit awards in calculating dilutive EPU for its common unitholders as they were anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2014 there were no non-vested units. The non-vested units are participating securities because they received distributions from the Partnership and these distributions do not have to be returned to the Partnership if the non-vested units are forfeited by the grantee. The Partnership's net income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 did not exceed the First Target Distribution Level, and as a result, the assumed distribution of net income did not result in the use of increasing percentages to calculate CGP's interest in net income. The two class method used to calculate EPU is as follows: BASIC AND DILUTED 2016 2015 2014 Numerators Partnership's net income $ 52,489 $ 55,410 $ 44,012 Less: Preferred unit holders' interest in Partnership's net income 11,101 11,334 14,042 General Partner's interest in Partnership's net income 818 879 593 Partnership's net income allocable to unvested units 285 8 — Common unit holders' interest in Partnership's net income $ 40,285 $ 43,189 $ 29,377 Denominators Weighted average number of common units outstanding, basic and diluted 119,803,329 115,030,879 93,353,168 Net income per common unit: Basic and Diluted $ 0.34 $ 0.38 $ 0.31 |

Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd ("HMM") charters restructuring [Abstract] | |
Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd ("HMM") charters restructuring | 15. Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd (“HMM”) charters restructuring HMM, the charterer of five of the Partnership's vessels, namely Hyundai Prestige, Hyundai Premium, Hyundai Paramount, Hyundai Privilege and Hyundai Platinum (the “HMM Vessels”), each under time charter expiring in 2024 and 2025, has experienced financial difficulties and has pursued a financial restructuring involving various creditors and vessel owners. As part of the various agreements that HMM reached with its creditors and vessel owners under its voluntary debt restructuring, the owning companies of the HMM Vessels entered into a Charter Restructuring Agreement on July 15, 2016. This agreement provides for the reduction of the gross charter rate payable under the respective charter parties by 20% to $23.5 per day from $29.4, for a three and a half year period starting in July 2016 and ending in December 2019 (the “Charter Reduction Period”). As compensation the Partnership received 4,398,910 HMM common shares on August 4, 2016, which the Partnership recognized as a “Trading asset” at the amount of $29,706 being the fair value of the shares with a corresponding “Deferred revenue, current” and “Deferred revenue” to be amortized within revenue, over the remaining duration of each time charter. The shares were immediately sold on the Stock Market Division of the Korean Exchange for aggregate cash consideration of $29,706. The Charter Restructuring Agreement further provides that at the end of the Charter Reduction Period, the charter rate under the respective charter parties will be restored to the original daily rate of $29.4 until the expiry of each charter in 2024 and 2025. |

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 16. Commitments and Contingencies Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Partnership's vessels. The Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Partnership accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, the Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by a charge to expense and a liability recorded only if all of the following conditions are met: Information available prior to the issuance of the financial statement indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements. The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Principles of Consolidation: | (a) Principles of Consolidation : |
Use of Estimates: | (b) Use of Estimates: |
Accounting for Revenue, Voyage and Operating Expenses: | (c) Accounting for Revenue, Voyage and Operating Expenses: Time, bareboat and voyage charter revenues are recognized when a charter agreement exists, charter rate is fixed and determinable, the vessel is made available to the lessee, and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Revenues are recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the period of the respective charter. Revenues from profit sharing arrangements in time charters represent a portion of time charter equivalent (voyage income less direct expenses, divided by operating days), that exceeds the agreed base rate and are recognized in the period earned. Deferred revenue represents cash and other assets received in advance of being earned and deferred revenue resulting from straight-line revenue recognition in respect of charter agreements that provide for varying charter rates. The portion of the deferred revenue that will be earned within the next twelve months is classified as current liability and the rest as long-term liability. Vessel voyage expenses are direct expenses to voyage revenues and primarily consist of commissions, port expenses, canal dues and bunkers. Commissions are expensed over the related charter period and all the other voyage expenses are expensed as incurred. In general, under time and bareboat charter agreements, all voyages expenses, except commissions are assumed by the charterer. For voyage charters, all voyage expenses are paid by the Partnership. Vessel operating expenses presented in the consolidated financial statements mainly consist of: Management fees payable to the Partnership's manager, Capital Shipmanagement Corp. (the “Manager” or “CSM”) under three different types of Management agreements (Note 4); and Actual operating expenses such as crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating expenses. Vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred. |

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: | (j) Impairment of Long-lived Assets: In recent years, market conditions, as compared to previous years, have changed significantly as a result of the global credit crisis and resulting slowdown in world trade. Charter rates decreased and values of assets were affected. The Partnership considered these market developments as indicators of potential impairment of the carrying amount of its long-lived assets. The Partnership has performed an undiscounted cash flow test based on US GAAP as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, determining undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for the vessels and comparing them to the carrying values of the vessels, and any related intangible assets and liabilities. In developing estimates of future cash flows, the Partnership made assumptions about future charter rates, utilization rates, vessel operating expenses, future dry docking costs and the estimated remaining useful life of the vessels. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations that are in line with the Partnership's historical performance and expectations for the vessels' utilization under the current deployment strategy. Based on these assumptions, the Partnership determined that the vessels' and their related intangible assets and liabilities were not impaired as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: | (p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2016 In August 2016, the FASB issued the ASU 2016-15 - classification of certain cash payments and cash receipts. This ASU addresses certain cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. It must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented but may be applied prospectively from the earliest date practicable, if retrospective application would be impracticable. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected early adoption. In March 2016, the FASB issued the ASU No 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The guidance will be effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued the ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The main provision of this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. The FASB decided to not fundamentally change lessor accounting. However, some changes have been made to lessor accounting to conform and align that guidance with the lessee guidance and other areas within U.S. GAAP. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. In July 2015, the FASB issued the ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory to simplify the measurement of inventory using first-in, first out (FIFO) or average cost method. According to this ASU an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This update is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this update will not have any material impact on its financial statements and has not elected the early adoption. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued the ASU No 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09, as amended, outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This standard is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. The Partnership believes that the implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on the financial statements since the revenues are generated largely from medium and long charters and has not elected early adoption. |

Net Total Indebtedness to the aggregate Market Value of the Total fleet | 72.50% | |
Collateral Maintenance Requirement | 125.00% | |
Debt Instrument Covenant Description | The Partnership's credit facilities contain customary ship finance covenants, including restrictions as to changes in management and ownership of the mortgaged vessels, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and the mortgaging of vessels and requirements such as, the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest Expenses to be no less than 2:1, a minimum cash requirement of $500 per vessel, and the ratio of net Total Indebtedness to the aggregate Market Value of the fleet not to exceed 0.725:1. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, restricted cash amounted to $18,000 and $17,000, respectively and is presented under other non-current assets. The credit facilities also contain a collateral maintenance requirement under which the aggregate fair market value of the collateral vessels should not be less than 120% for the 2015 credit facility and 125% for the other credit facilities, of the aggregate outstanding amount under these facilities. Also the vessel-owning companies may pay dividends or make distributions when no event of default has occurred and the payment of such dividend or distribution has not resulted in a breach of any of the financial covenants. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants. | |
