Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block] | 1) | BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Organization | ||
World Point Terminals, LP (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on April 19, 2013 by World Point Terminals, Inc. (our “Parent”) and WPT GP, LLC (the “General Partner”). The Partnership through its wholly owned subsidiary Center Point Terminal Company, LLC (“Center Point”) owns, operates, develops and acquires liquid bulk storage terminals and related assets primarily for the storage of petroleum based products, including light refined products, heavy refined products and crude oil. We operate fee-based facilities located along the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States. | ||
Basis of Presentation | ||
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP and should be read along with the Partnership’s 2014 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Partnership’s financial statements as of March 31, 2015, and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements. | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Information for interim periods may not be indicative of the Partnership’s operating results for the entire year. | ||

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | 2) | EARNINGS PER UNIT AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS | ||||||||||||||||||
Earnings per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting amounts due pursuant to Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”) by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests, after giving effect to priority income allocations, including incentive distributions, if any, to the holders of IDRs, pursuant to our partnership agreement. Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of earnings per unit. The weighted-average number of units outstanding was as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||

Subordinated Units | 16,485,507 | 16,485,507 | ||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the common and subordinated units, we have also identified the IDRs as participating securities and use the two-class method when calculating the earnings per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common and subordinated units outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per unit applicable to limited partners are the same because we do not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Cash Distributions | ||||||||||||||||||||
Our partnership agreement generally provides that we will make our distributions, if any, each quarter in the following manner: | ||||||||||||||||||||
· | first, to all unitholders, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.345 per unit for that quarter (the “first target distribution”); | |||||||||||||||||||

· | third, 75.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 25.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.45 per unit for that quarter (the “third target distribution”); and | |||||||||||||||||||
· | thereafter, 50.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 50.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata. | |||||||||||||||||||
In each case, the amount of the target distribution set forth above is exclusive of any distributions to common unitholders to eliminate any cumulative arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth above assume that we do not issue additional classes of equity securities. | ||||||||||||||||||||

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | 3 Months Ended | |

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract] | ||
Financial Instruments Disclosure [Text Block] | 3) | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. | ||
The Partnership has exposure to counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk with its financial assets and liabilities. The Partnership’s risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Partnership’s financial performance and ultimately shareholder value. The Partnership manages its risks and risk exposures through a combination of sound business practices, derivative instruments and a system of internal controls. | ||
Credit Risk — Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, credit exposure to customers (including outstanding accounts receivable), and counterparty risk associated with certain of the Partnership’s short-term investments. | ||
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances. Credit risk associated with cash is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are held at high quality financial institutions. | ||
Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade accounts receivable from storage related revenues. The Partnership’s credit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty which owes the Partnership money is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts with the Partnership, which would result in a financial loss for the Partnership. Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized by the business model and collection policies of the Partnership. Most of the Partnership’s customers prepay significant portions of their obligations at the beginning of each month and/or the Partnership has custody of customer assets at its facilities. The assets held by the Partnership belonging to its customers generally carry a market value well in excess of the accounts receivable balances due. The Partnership conducts business with a relatively few number of customers, including one affiliated customer which comprised approximately 39% and 37% of the Partnership’s first three months 2015 and 2014 revenues, respectively, and another which comprised approximately 10% of the Partnership’s first three months 2015 and 2014 revenues, under both short term and long term contracts. A large portion of the Partnership’s annual expenses are fixed and, accordingly, the Partnership’s ability to meet its ongoing obligations is dependent upon its ability to retain existing customers and/or attract new ones. | ||
The carrying amounts of accounts receivable are reduced through the use of an allowance for doubtful accounts and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by specific customer balance analysis. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off reduce expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Historically trade credit losses have been minimal. | ||
The Partnership has equity investments in certain exchange traded debt securities, preferred and trust preferred stocks. The Partnership mitigates the risk of a financial loss by investing in what it considers to be high-quality instruments with quality counterparties. | ||

Mar. 31, 2015 | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 4) | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | ||||||||||||
The Partnership follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for the consolidated financial statements. The topic requires the use of a fair value hierarchy in order to classify the fair value disclosures related to the Partnership’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized in the balance sheets at fair value. | ||||||||||||||
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1 — Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||
Level 2 — Values based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. The Partnership does not currently have any instruments with fair value determined using Level 2 inputs. | ||||||||||||||
Level 3 — Values are generated from model based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques could include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The Partnership does not currently have any instruments with fair value determined using Level 3 inputs. | ||||||||||||||
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. | ||||||||||||||
The financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014: | ||||||||||||||

For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: | ||||||||||||||
Cash Equivalents — The carrying value of cash equivalents represents fair value as it is based on active market quotes available for these assets and is classified as Level 1. | ||||||||||||||
Short-Term Investments— The short-term investments consist of investments in listed exchange traded debt securities, preferred stocks and trust preferred securities. The securities are valued using quoted prices from the various public markets. The securities trade on public exchanges, both domestic and foreign, and can be accurately described as active markets. The observable valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted prices that represent active market trades and are classified as Level 1. | ||||||||||||||

Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | 7) | TERMINAL ACQUISITIONS | |||
On January 1, 2015, the Partnership acquired a terminal facility in Greensboro, North Carolina which has a total shell capacity of 684,000 barrels for the storage of gasoline, distillate, ethanol and jet fuel. The terminal is served by truck and connection to the Colonial Pipeline. The Partnership entered into a contribution agreement with a subsidiary of Apex Oil Company, Inc. (“Apex”) whereby the Partnership issued 1,550,000 common units to Apex in exchange for the terminal. Based on the closing price of the Partnership’s common units on December 31, 2014, the value of the units issued represented approximately $31,186 in total consideration.

The Credit Facility is available, subject to certain conditions, for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general partnership purposes, including distributions and unit repurchases. In addition, the Credit Facility includes a sublimit of up to $20,000 for swing line loans and permits the Partnership to enter into a pari passu credit facility for the provision of letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000 at any time.

Substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility, and the Partnership and its other subsidiaries entered into guarantees of payment on behalf of Center Point for amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. | ||
Center Point incurred costs of $910 associated with the Credit Facility which will be amortized over the five year term of the facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The terms of the Credit Facility contain certain covenants and conditions including an interest coverage ratio and a total leverage ratio. Center Point was in compliance with such covenants as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. In addition to interest associated with the borrowings, Center Point is obligated to pay a commitment fee calculated on the balance of the unused portion of the Credit Facility.

The Partnership has recorded a liability for the estimated costs of removing its terminal assets from those terminals located on leased land where the landowners have the right to require the Partnership to remove the assets. The recorded liability was $631 and $622 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which represents the present value of the estimated costs of removal. The maximum undiscounted liability is estimated to be $10,135. This amount was discounted utilizing the Partnership’s estimated, credit adjusted risk-free rate and further adjusted by probability factors based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of being required to demolish certain assets. Should the landowners exercise their rights to require the Partnership to remove the terminal assets, the cash outflows required to settle these obligations will occur on or around lease expiration dates ranging from July 13, 2034 to February 1, 2061. | |||
