Risk Factor Summary
Risks Related to Our Industry
•Changes
in the oil markets could result in decreased demand for our vessels
and services.
•The
cyclical nature of the tanker industry may lead to volatile changes
in charter rates and significant fluctuations in the utilization of
our vessels.
•High
oil prices could negatively impact tanker freight
rates.
•A
decline in oil prices may adversely affect our growth prospects and
results of operations.
•Marine
transportation is inherently risky, and an incident involving loss
or damage to a vessel, significant loss of product or environmental
contamination by any of our vessels could harm our reputation and
business.
•Public
health threats, including COVID-19 or variants, could have material
adverse effects on our operations and financial
results.
•Terrorist
attacks, increased hostilities, political change, or war could lead
to further economic instability, increased costs and business
disruption.
•Acts
of piracy on ocean-going vessels continue to be a risk, which could
adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to Our Business
•Economic
downturns, including disruptions in the global credit markets,
could adversely affect our ability to grow.
•Economic
downturns may affect our customers’ ability to charter our vessels
and pay for our services and may adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
•We
may be unable to make or realize benefits from investments or
acquisitions and growth through any such transaction may harm our
financial condition and performance.
•The
timing of dry dockings of our vessels during peak market conditions
could adversely affect our profitability.
•Delays
in the delivery of and installation of new vessel equipment could
result in significant vessel downtime and have adverse impacts on
our results of operations.
•Technological
innovation could reduce our charter hire income and the value and
operational lives of our vessels.
•The
intense competition in our markets may lead to reduced
profitability or reduced expansion opportunities.
•The
loss of any key customer or its inability to pay for our services
could result in a significant loss of revenue in a given
period.
•Our
ability to repay or refinance debt obligations and to fund capital
expenditures will depend on certain financial, business and other
factors, many of which are beyond our control. We will need to
obtain additional financing, which financing may limit our ability
to make cash dividends, increase our financial leverage and result
in dilution to our equity holders.
•Charter
rates for conventional oil and product tankers may fluctuate
substantially over time and may be lower when we are attempting to
re-charter these vessels.
•Changes
in market conditions may limit our access to capital and our
growth.
•An
increase in operating costs, due to increased inflation or
otherwise, could adversely affect our cash flows and financial
condition.
•Over
time, the value of our vessels may decline, which could adversely
affect our existing loans and finance leases, our ability to obtain
new financing, or our operating results.
•We
have recognized asset impairments in the past and we may recognize
additional impairments in the future.
•We
depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us
in order to satisfy our financial obligations and to make any
dividend payments.
•We
anticipate that Teekay Tankers may need to accelerate its fleet
renewal in coming years, the success of any such program will
depend on newbuilding and second-hand vessel availability and
prices, market conditions and available financing, and which it
anticipates will require significant expenditures.
•Increased
demand for and supply of vessels fitted with scrubbers could reduce
demand for our existing vessels and expose us to decreased charter
rates.
•Our
insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to our
property or result from our operations.
•Teekay
Tankers has substantial obligations related to finance leases and
may incur additional debt and obligations in the
future.
•Use
of LIBOR is scheduled to cease, and interest rates on our
LIBOR-based obligations may increase in the future.
•Exposure
to interest rate fluctuations will result in fluctuations in our
cash flows and operating results.
•Our
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are exposed to
credit risk, which may be adversely affected by market conditions,
interest rates and failures of financial institutions.
•We
may be unable to take advantage of favorable opportunities in the
spot market to the extent any of our vessels are employed on medium
to long-term time charters.
•Financing
agreements containing operating and financial restrictions may
restrict our business and financing activities.
•Our
and many of our customers’ substantial operations outside the
United States (or
U.S.)
expose us and them to political, governmental and economic
instability.
•Maritime
claimants could arrest, or port authorities could detain, our
vessels, which could interrupt our cash flow.
•Many
of our seafaring employees are covered by collective bargaining
agreements and the failure to renew those agreements or any future
labor agreements may disrupt operations and adversely affect our
cash flows.
•We
may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled employees or
crew to operate our business.
•Exposure
to currency exchange rate fluctuations results in fluctuations in
our cash flows and operating results.
•Our
operating results are subject to seasonal
fluctuations.
•Teekay
Tankers may expend substantial sums during the construction of
future potential newbuildings or upgrades to their existing
vessels, without earning revenue and without assurance that they
will be completed.
•Teekay
Tankers’ U.S. Gulf lightering business competes with alternative
methods of delivering crude oil to ports, which may limit its
earnings in this area of its operations.
•Teekay
Tankers’ full service lightering (or
FSL)
operations are subject to specific risks that could lead to
accidents, oil spills or property damage.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
•We
are bound to adhere to sanctions from many jurisdictions, including
the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and Canada, due
to our domicile and location of offices.
•Past
port calls by our vessels or third-party vessels participating in
Revenue Sharing Agreements (or
RSAs)
to countries that are subject to sanctions imposed by the United
States, European Union and the United Kingdom could harm our
business.
•Failure
to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK
Bribery Act, the UK Criminal Finances Act and similar laws in other
jurisdictions could result in fines, criminal penalties, contract
terminations and an adverse effect on our business.
•The
shipping industry is subject to substantial environmental and other
regulations, which may significantly limit operations and increase
expenses.
•Climate
change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our
operations and markets.
•Increasing
scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, lenders,
customers and other market participants with respect to ESG
policies and practices may impose additional costs on us or expose
us to additional risks.
•Regulations
relating to ballast water discharge may adversely affect our
operational results and financial condition.
•Our
operations may be subject to economic substance requirements in the
Marshall Islands and other offshore jurisdictions, which could
impact our business.
•The
smuggling of drugs or other contraband onto our vessels may lead to
governmental claims against us.
Information and Technology Risks
•A
cyber-attack could materially disrupt our business.
•Our
failure to comply with data privacy laws could damage our customer
relationships and expose us to litigation risks and potential
fines.
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities
•Because
we are incorporated in the Marshall Islands, shareholders may have
fewer rights and protections under Marshall Islands law than under
a typical jurisdiction in the United States.
•Because
we are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, it may be
difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments
against us, our directors or our management.
Tax Risks
•U.S.
tax authorities could treat us as a “passive foreign investment
company”, which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax
consequences to our U.S. shareholders and other adverse
consequences to us and all of our shareholders.
•We
are subject to taxes. The imposition of taxes, including as a
result of a change in tax law or accounting requirements, may
reduce our cash available for distribution to
shareholders.
Risks Related to Our Industry
Changes in the oil markets could result in decreased demand for our
vessels and services.
Demand for our vessels and services in transporting oil depends
upon world and regional oil markets. Any decrease in shipments of
crude oil in those markets could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Historically, those markets have been volatile as a result of the
many conditions and events that affect the price, production and
transport of oil, including competition from alternative energy
sources. Past slowdowns of the U.S. and world economies have
resulted in reduced consumption of oil products and decreased
demand for our vessels and services, which reduced vessel earnings.
Additional slowdowns could have similar effects on our operating
results and may limit our ability to expand our fleet.
The cyclical nature of the tanker industry may adversely affect our
earnings and profitability. The cyclical nature of the industry may
also lead to volatile changes in charter rates and significant
fluctuations in the utilization of our vessels, which may adversely
affect our earnings.
Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing
volatility in profitability due to changes in the supply of and
demand for tanker capacity and changes in the supply of and demand
for oil and oil products. The cyclical nature of the tanker
industry may cause significant increases or decreases in our
revenues, earnings and profitability we generate from our vessels.
The cyclical nature of the tanker industry may also cause
significant increases or decreases in the value of our vessels. If
the tanker market is depressed, our earnings may decrease,
particularly with respect to the tankers owned by Teekay Tankers,
which accounted for approximately 89% and 79% of our consolidated
revenues from continuing operations during 2022 and 2021,
respectively. These vessels are primarily employed on the
spot-charter market, which is highly volatile and fluctuates based
upon tanker and oil supply and demand. Declining spot rates in a
given period generally will result in corresponding declines in
operating results for that period. The successful operation of our
vessels in the spot-charter market depends upon, among other
things, obtaining profitable spot charters and minimizing, to the
extent possible, time spent waiting for charters and time spent
traveling unladen to pick up cargo. Future spot rates may not be
sufficient to enable our vessels trading in the spot tanker market
to operate profitably or to provide sufficient cash flow to service
our debt obligations. Our ability to operate profitably in the spot
market and to recharter our other vessels upon the expiration or
termination of their charters will depend upon, among other
factors, economic conditions in the tanker market.
The factors affecting the supply of and demand for tankers are
outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of
changes in industry conditions are unpredictable.
Factors that influence demand for tanker capacity
include:
•demand
for oil and oil products;
•supply
of oil and oil products;
•regional
availability of refining capacity;
•global
and regional economic and political conditions;
•the
distance oil and oil products are to be moved by sea;
•demand
for floating storage of oil; and
•changes
in seaborne and other transportation patterns.
Factors that influence the supply of tanker capacity
include:
•the
number of newbuilding deliveries;
•the
scrapping rate of older vessels;
•conversion
of tankers to other uses;
•the
number of vessels that are out of service; and
•environmental
concerns and regulations.
Changes in demand for transportation of oil over longer distances
and in the supply of tankers to carry that oil may materially
affect our revenues, profitability and cash flows. Following our
sale in January 2022 of the Teekay Gas Business, which operated
primarily under long-term, fixed-rate charter contracts, our
revenues are more volatile and dependent on revenues generated by
our tanker fleet.
The conflict in Ukraine and the consequent sanctions imposed on
Russia have significantly increased tanker demand and rates by
reshaping global oil trading patterns, including the rerouting of
Russian oil exports away from Europe and the subsequent backfilling
of imports into Europe from other more distant sources. Changes in
or resolution of the conflict in Ukraine and the lifting of those
sanctions may lead to a reversal of these trading patterns or other
effects that could significantly decrease tanker demand and
rates.
High oil prices could negatively impact tanker freight
rates.
Global crude oil prices increased through the course of 2021 and
reached more than a ten-year high in June 2022. High oil prices
could negatively impact tanker freight rates due to reduced oil
demand, higher operating costs as a result of increased bunker
prices, and weaker refining margins.
A decline in oil prices may adversely affect our growth prospects
and results of operations.
Low oil prices may adversely affect energy and capital markets and
available sources of financing for our capital expenditures and
debt repayment obligations. If oil prices decline and a sustained
low energy price environment develops, our business, results of
operations and financial condition, may be adversely affected,
including as a result of a number of related factors, some of which
may be beyond our control, including:
•lower
demand for tankers, which may reduce available charter rates and
revenue to us upon redeployment of our vessels following expiration
or termination of existing contracts or which may result in
extended periods of our vessels being idle between
contracts;
•customers
potentially seeking to renegotiate or terminate existing vessel
contracts, failing to extend or renew contracts upon expiration, or
seeking to negotiate cancellable contracts;
•the
inability or refusal of customers to make charter payments to us
due to financial constraints or otherwise; or
•declines
in vessel values, which may result in losses to us upon vessel
sales or impairment charges against our earnings.
Marine transportation is inherently risky, and an incident
involving loss or damage to a vessel, significant loss of product
or environmental contamination by any of our vessels could harm our
reputation and business.
Our vessels, crew and cargoes are at risk of being damaged, injured
or lost because of events such as:
•marine
disasters;
•bad
weather or natural disasters;
•mechanical
or electrical failures;
•grounding,
capsizing, fire, explosions and collisions;
•piracy
(hijackings and kidnappings);
•cyber-attacks;
•acute-onset
illnesses in connection with global or regional pandemics or
similar public health crises;
•mental
health of crew members;
•human
error; and
•war
and terrorism.
An accident involving any of our vessels could result in any of the
following:
•significant
litigation with our customers or other third parties;
•death
or injury to persons, loss of property or damage to the environment
and natural resources;
•delays
in the delivery of cargo;
•liabilities
or costs to recover any spilled oil or other petroleum products and
to restore the environment affected by the spill;
•loss
of revenues from charters;
•governmental
fines, penalties or restrictions on conducting
business;
•higher
insurance rates; and
•damage
to our reputation and customer relationships
generally.
Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and operating results. In addition,
any damage to, or environmental contamination involving, oil
production facilities serviced by our vessels could result in the
suspension or curtailment of operations by our customers, which
would in turn result in loss of revenues.
Public health threats, including COVID-19 or variants, could have
an adverse effect on our operations and financial
results.
Public health threats and highly communicable diseases, such as
COVID-19, outbreaks of which have already occurred in various parts
of the world near where we operate, could adversely affect our
operations, the operations of our customers or suppliers and the
global economy. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many
countries, ports and organizations, including those where we
conduct a large part of our operations, implemented measures to
combat the outbreak, such as quarantines and travel restrictions.
Such measures caused severe trade disruptions. In addition, the
pandemic initially resulted, and the pandemic or other future
public health threats may again result in, a significant decline in
global demand for crude oil and refined petroleum products. As our
business is the transportation of crude oil and refined oil
products on behalf of oil majors, oil traders and other customers,
any significant decrease in demand for the cargo we transport could
adversely affect demand for our vessels and services. The extent to
which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other public health threat may
impact our business, results of operations and financial condition,
including possible impairments, will depend on future developments,
which are uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, among
others, the impact of the end of China’s zero-COVID policy and of
the development of variants of the COVID-19 virus, and the level of
the effectiveness and administration of vaccines and other actions
to contain or treat its impact.
Terrorist attacks, increased hostilities, political change, or war
could lead to further economic instability, increased costs, and
business disruption.
Terrorist attacks, and current or future conflicts in Ukraine, the
Middle East, Libya, East Asia, South East Asia, West Africa and
elsewhere, and political change, may adversely affect our business,
operating results, financial condition, and ability to raise
capital and fund future growth. Recent hostilities in Ukraine, the
Middle East - especially among Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab
Emirates, Yemen (Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Area), or Iran - and
elsewhere may lead to additional armed conflicts or to further acts
of terrorism and civil disturbance in the United States or
elsewhere, which may contribute further to economic instability and
disruption of oil production and distribution, which could result
in reduced demand for our services and have an adverse impact on
our operations and our ability to conduct business.
Furthermore, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in addition to sanctions
announced by several world leaders and nations against Russia and
any further sanctions, may also adversely impact our business given
Russia’s role as a major global exporter of crude oil. Our business
could be harmed by trade tariffs, trade embargoes or other economic
sanctions by the United States, the European Union or other
countries against Russia, companies with Russian connections or the
Russian energy sector and harmed by any retaliatory measures by
Russia or other countries in response. While much uncertainty
remains regarding the global impact of Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine, it is possible that such tensions could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash
flows. In addition, it is possible that third parties with which we
have charter contracts may be impacted by events in Russia and
Ukraine, which could adversely affect our operations and financial
condition.
In addition, oil facilities, shipyards, vessels, pipelines, oil
fields or other infrastructure could be targets of future terrorist
attacks or warlike operations and our vessels could be targets of
hijackers, terrorists, or warlike operations; the conflict in
Ukraine has recently resulted in missile attacks on commercial
vessels in the Black Sea. Any such attacks could lead to, among
other things, bodily injury or loss of life, vessel or other
property
damage, increased vessel operational costs, including insurance
costs, and the inability to transport oil to or from certain
locations. Terrorist attacks, war, hijacking or other events beyond
our control that adversely affect the distribution, production or
transportation of oil to be shipped by us could entitle customers
to terminate charters which would harm our cash flow and
business.
Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels continue to be a risk, which
could adversely affect our business.
Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels
trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea, Gulf
of Guinea and the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia. While
there continues to be a significant risk of piracy incidents in the
Southern Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean, recently there
have been increases in the frequency and severity of piracy
incidents off the coast of West Africa and a resurgent risk of
piracy and/or armed robbery in the Straits of Malacca, Sulu &
Celebes Sea, Gulf of Mexico and surrounding waters. If these piracy
attacks result in regions in which our vessels are deployed being
named on the Joint War Committee Listed Areas, war risk insurance
premiums payable for such coverage may increase significantly and
such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In
addition, crew costs, including costs which are incurred to the
extent we employ on-board security guards and escort vessels, could
increase in such circumstances. We may not be adequately insured to
cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material
adverse effect on us. In addition, hijacking as a result of an act
of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost or
unavailability of insurance for our vessels, could have a material
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
Economic downturns, including disruptions in the global credit
markets, could adversely affect our ability to grow.
Economic downturns, bank failures and financial crises in the
global markets could produce illiquidity in the capital markets,
market volatility, heightened exposure to interest rate and credit
risks, and reduced access to capital markets. If global financial
markets and economic conditions significantly deteriorate in the
future, we may face restricted access to the capital markets or
bank lending, which may make it more difficult and costly to fund
future growth. Decreased access to such resources could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations. Global financial markets and economic
conditions have been, and continue to be, volatile. Several
economists anticipate a potential slowing of the global economy due
in part to inflationary pressures and higher interest rates, and
with many nations, including the U.S., facing a potential economic
recession during 2023.
Economic downturns may affect our customers’ ability to charter our
vessels and pay for our services and may adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
Economic downturns in the global financial markets or economy
generally may lead to a decline in our customers’ operations or
ability to pay for our services, which could result in decreased
demand for our vessels and services. Our customers’ inability to
pay could also result in their default on our current contracts and
charters. A decline in the amount of services requested by our
customers or their default on our contracts with them could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Our strategy includes seeking suitable investment or acquisition
opportunities in both the broader shipping sector and, potentially,
in new and adjacent markets, particularly following our sale of the
Teekay Gas Business. We may be unable to make or realize expected
benefits from investments or acquisitions and growth through any
such transaction may harm our financial condition and
performance.
A principal component of our business strategy is seeking suitable
investment or acquisition opportunities in both the broader
shipping sector and, potentially, in new and adjacent markets,
particularly following our sale of the Teekay Gas Business. Any
such growth may involve our expansion into new geographic areas and
new services. We may not be successful in expanding our operations
and any expansion may not be profitable. In order to achieve
growth, we may acquire new companies or businesses, which
transactions may involve business risks commonly encountered in
acquisitions of companies, including:
•interruption
of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of an
acquired company’s businesses and our businesses;
•additional
demands on members of our senior management while integrating
acquired businesses or managing new investments, which would
decrease the time they have to manage our existing business,
service existing customers and attract new customers;
•difficulties
identifying suitable acquisition candidates or investment
opportunities, and successfully competing for available
opportunities;
•difficulties
integrating the operations, personnel and business culture of
acquired companies;
•difficulties
coordinating and managing geographically separate
organizations;
•adverse
effects on relationships with our existing suppliers and customers,
and those of the companies acquired or invested in;
•difficulties
entering geographic markets or new market segments in which we have
no or limited experience; and
•loss
of key officers and employees of acquired companies.
We may not be successful in identifying, negotiating and completing
any potential acquisition or investment opportunities. Any such
transactions may not be profitable to us at the time of their
completion and may not generate revenues, profits or cash flows
sufficient to justify our investment. In addition, our growth
strategy exposes us to risks that may harm our results of
operations and financial condition, including the risks that we
may: fail to realize anticipated benefits, such as cost savings,
revenue and cash flow enhancements and earnings accretion; decrease
our liquidity by using a significant portion of our available cash
or borrowing capacity to finance acquisitions or investments; incur
additional indebtedness, which may result in significantly
increased interest expense or financial leverage, or issue
additional equity securities to finance acquisitions, which may
result in significant shareholder dilution; incur or assume
unanticipated liabilities, losses or costs associated with the
business acquired; or incur other significant charges, such as
impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, asset
devaluation or restructuring charges.
Unlike newbuildings, existing vessels typically do not carry
warranties as to their condition. While we generally inspect
existing vessels prior to purchase, such an inspection would
normally not provide us with as much knowledge of a vessel’s
condition as we would possess if it had been
built for us and operated by us during its life. Repairs and
maintenance costs for existing vessels are difficult to predict and
may be substantially higher than for vessels we have operated since
they were built. These costs could decrease our cash flows and
reduce our liquidity.
The timing of dry dockings of our vessels during peak market
conditions could adversely affect our profitability.
We periodically dry dock each of our vessels for inspection,
repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with
industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally,
each vessel is dry docked every two and a half years to five years
depending on the age of the vessel. Depending on the type of dry
docking required, a vessel will incur a number of days of downtime
where it will not be in service. During times of favorable market
conditions, any increase in the number of required dry dockings in
a given timeframe and the lost revenue days arising from this
downtime could result in a material loss of earnings.
Delays in the delivery of and installation of new vessel equipment
could result in significant vessel downtime and have adverse
impacts on our results of operations.
In order to maximize fleet performance and efficiency, we plan to
invest from time to time in new technologies to be installed on our
fleet. However, the delivery and installation of any new equipment
depend on a number of factors, some of which are within our
control, such as the location of the vessels on a given date, and
other factors which are outside of our control, such as the
delivery due date, the availability of qualified personnel to
install new equipment and potential bottlenecks in the supply
chain. Depending on the type of new equipment to be installed, we
may need to co-ordinate delivery and installation in line with
vessel dry dockings. Any delays in the delivery or installation of
new equipment could result in an increase in the number of dry
docking days and adversely impact our results of
operation.
Technological innovation could reduce our charter hire income and
the value and operational lives of our vessels.
The charter hire rates and the value and operational life of a
vessel are determined by a number of factors, including the
vessel’s efficiency, operational flexibility and physical life.
Efficiency includes speed, fuel economy and the ability to load and
discharge cargo quickly. Flexibility includes the ability to enter
various harbors and ports, utilize related docking facilities and
pass through canals and straits. The length of a vessel’s physical
life is related to its original design and construction, its
maintenance and the impact of the stress of operations. If new
tankers are built that are more efficient or more flexible or have
longer physical lives than our vessels, competition from these more
technologically-advanced vessels could adversely affect the amount
of charter hire payments, if any, we receive for our vessels and
the resale value of our vessels could significantly decrease. As a
result, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
The intense competition in our markets may lead to reduced
profitability or reduced expansion opportunities.
Our vessels operate in highly competitive markets. Competition
arises primarily from other vessel owners, including major oil
companies and independent companies. We also compete with owners of
other size vessels. Our market share is insufficient to enforce any
degree of pricing discipline in the markets in which we operate,
and our competitive position may erode in the future. Any new
markets that we enter could include participants that have greater
financial strength and capital resources than we have. We may not
be successful in entering new markets.
The loss of any key customer or its inability to pay for our
services could result in a significant loss of revenue in a given
period.
We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a
significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of
customers. No customer accounted for over 10% of our consolidated
revenues from continuing operations during 2022, 2021 and 2020. The
loss of any significant customer or a substantial decline in the
amount of services requested by a significant customer, or the
inability of a significant customer to pay for our services, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
We could lose a customer or the benefits of a contract
if:
•the
customer fails to make payments because of its financial inability,
disagreements with us or otherwise;
•we
agree to reduce the payments due to us under a contract because of
the customer’s inability to continue making the original
payments;
•upon
a breach by us of the relevant contract, the customer exercises
certain rights to terminate the contract;
•the
customer terminates the contract because we fail to deliver the
vessel within a fixed period of time, the vessel is lost or damaged
beyond repair, there are serious deficiencies in the vessel or
prolonged periods of off-hire, or we default under the
contract;
•under
some of our contracts, the customer terminates the contract because
of the termination of the customer's sales agreement or a prolonged
force majeure affecting the customer, including damage to or
destruction of relevant facilities, war or political unrest
preventing us from performing services for that customer;
or
•the
customer becomes subject to applicable sanctions laws which
prohibit our ability to lawfully charter our vessel to such
customer.
Our ability to repay or refinance lease obligations and to fund
capital expenditures will depend on certain financial, business and
other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We may need to
obtain additional financing, which financing may limit our ability
to make cash dividends and distributions, increase our financial
leverage and result in dilution to our shareholders.
To fund existing and future debt and lease obligations and capital
expenditures and to meet the minimum liquidity requirements under
the financial covenants in our credit facilities and finance
leases, we may be required to obtain additional sources of
financing, in addition to any amounts generated from operations.
These anticipated sources of financing include raising additional
debt and capital, including equity issuances.
Our ability to obtain external financing may be limited by our
financial condition at the time of any such financing as well as by
adverse market conditions in general. Even if we are successful in
obtaining necessary funds, the terms of such financings could limit
our ability to pay any future cash dividends to shareholders or to
operate our businesses as currently conducted. In addition, issuing
additional equity securities may result in significant shareholder
dilution and would increase the aggregate amount of cash required
to maintain any future quarterly dividends. The sale of certain
assets will reduce cash from operations and the cash available for
distribution to shareholders. For more information on our liquidity
requirements, please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 16a
– Commitments and Contingencies – Liquidity".
Charter rates for conventional oil and product tankers may
fluctuate substantially over time and may be lower when we are
attempting to re-charter these vessels, which could adversely
affect our operating results.
Our ability to re-charter our conventional oil and product tankers
following expiration of existing time-charter contracts and the
rates payable upon any renewal or replacement charters will depend
upon, among other things, the state of the conventional tanker
market. Conventional oil and product tanker trades are highly
competitive and have experienced significant fluctuations in
charter rates based on, among other things, oil, refined petroleum
product and vessel demand. For example, an oversupply of
conventional oil tankers can significantly reduce their charter
rates.
Changes in market conditions may limit our access to capital and
our growth.
We have relied primarily upon bank financing and debt and equity
offerings to fund our growth. Changes in market conditions in the
energy and shipping sectors could reduce our and Teekay Tankers'
access to capital, particularly equity capital. Issuing additional
common equity would be dilutive to shareholders. Lack of access to
debt or equity capital at reasonable rates would adversely affect
our growth prospects and our ability to refinance debt and pay
dividends to our shareholders.
An increase in operating costs, due to increased inflation or
otherwise, could adversely affect our cash flows and financial
condition.
Our levels of vessel operating expenses depend upon a variety of
factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as competition
for crew and inflation. Inflation has increased significantly on a
worldwide basis since mid-2021, with many countries facing their
highest inflation rates in decades. Inflation has increased our
vessel operating expenses, voyage expenses and certain other
expenses. To the extent our or Teekay Tankers’ charter rates do not
cover increased vessel operating expenses or voyage expenses for
which we are responsible, or if other costs and expenses increase,
our earnings would decrease and our cash flows and financial
condition would be adversely affected.
Over time, the value of our vessels may decline, which could
adversely affect our existing loans and finance leases, our ability
to obtain new financing, or our operating results.
Vessel values for oil and product tankers can fluctuate
substantially over time due to a number of different factors,
including:
•prevailing
economic conditions in oil and energy markets;
•a
substantial or extended decline in demand for oil;
•increases
in the supply of vessel capacity;
•the
age of the vessel relative to other alternative vessels that are
available in the market;
•competition
from more technologically advanced vessels; and
•the
cost of retrofitting or modifying existing vessels, as a result of
technological advances in vessel design or equipment, changes in
applicable environmental or other regulations or standards, or
otherwise.
Vessel values may decline from existing levels. If operation of a
vessel is not profitable, or if we cannot redeploy a chartered
vessel at attractive rates upon charter termination, rather than
continue to incur costs to maintain and finance the vessel, we may
seek to dispose of it. Our inability to dispose of the vessel at a
fair market value or the disposal of the vessel at a fair market
value that is lower than its book value could result in a loss on
its sale and adversely affect our results of operations and
financial condition. In addition, vessel value declines may result
in impairment charges against our earnings.
Declining vessel values could also result in a breach of our loans
and obligations under finance lease covenants and cause events of
default under certain of our credit facilities that require us to
maintain certain loan-to-value ratios. In such an event, we may be
required to prepay portions of the outstanding principal or pledge
additional collateral to avoid a default. If we are unable to avoid
a default or cure any such breach within the prescribed cure period
in a particular financing facility, the lenders under these
facilities could accelerate our debt or obligations under our
finance leases and foreclose on our vessels and other assets
pledged as collateral or require an early termination of the
applicable credit facility or finance lease. In certain
circumstances, such a breach could result in cross-defaults under
our other financing agreements. As of December 31, 2022, the total
outstanding debt under credit facilities and obligations under
finance leases with this type of loan-to-value covenant tied to
conventional tanker values was $536.5 million. We have one
credit facility and 27 obligations related to finance leases that
require us to maintain vessel value to outstanding loan and lease
principal balance ratios ranging from 100% to 125%. As of December
31, 2022, we were in compliance with these required ratios. In
addition, a significant decline in the market value of our vessels
may prevent us from refinancing vessels with a similar amount of
debt thereby requiring us to either reduce debt levels in
facilities collateralized by the tankers or seek alternative
financing structures.
We
have recognized asset impairments in the past and we may recognize
additional impairments in the future, which will reduce our
earnings and net assets.
If we determine at any time that an asset has been impaired, we may
need to recognize an impairment charge that will reduce our
earnings and net assets. We review our vessels for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable, which occurs
when an asset's carrying value is greater than the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate
over its remaining useful life. We review our goodwill for
impairment annually and if a reporting unit's goodwill carrying
value is greater than the estimated fair value, the goodwill
attributable to that reporting unit is impaired. We evaluate the
investment in our equity-accounted joint
venture for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that
the carrying value of such investment may have experienced an
other-than-temporary decline in value below its carrying
value.
Further, if we determine at any time that a vessel’s future useful
life and cash flows require us to impair its value on our financial
statements, we may need to recognize a significant impairment
charge against our earnings. Such a determination involves numerous
assumptions and estimates, some of which require more judgment and
are less predictable. We recognized asset impairment charges of
$92.4 million and $149.2 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, in
relation to continuing operations. There were no impairment charges
in 2022. The 2021 charge included impairments of $66.9 million,
$18.4 million, $6.4 million for four Suezmax tankers and seven
Aframax / LR2 tankers, respectively, of Teekay Tankers' vessels.
The 2020 charge included impairments of $70.7 million for two
of our FPSO units, the
Petrojarl Banff
and
Sevan Hummingbird,
and impairments of $67.0 million for nine of Teekay Tankers'
Aframax tankers.
We depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to
us in order to satisfy our financial obligations and to make any
dividend payments.
Our subsidiaries, which are all directly and indirectly wholly
owned by us, own all of our substantive operating assets. As a
result, our ability to satisfy our financial obligations and to pay
any dividends to our shareholders depends on the ability of our
subsidiaries to generate profits available for distribution to us
and our subsidiaries being permitted by law and contract to make
such distributions to us; to the extent that they are unable to
generate or distribute profits to us, we may be unable to pay our
creditors or any dividends to our shareholders.
We anticipate that Teekay Tankers may need to accelerate its fleet
renewal in coming years, the success of any such program which will
depend on newbuilding and second-hand vessel availability and
prices, market conditions and available financing, and which it
anticipates will require significant expenditures.
As approximately 30% of Teekay Tankers' fleet is currently aged 15
years and older, we anticipate Teekay Tankers may need to
accelerate its fleet renewal in coming years. Teekay Tankers'
ability to successfully execute a renewal program will depend on
the availability and prices of newbuilding and second-hand vessels,
market conditions and charter rates (primarily spot tanker rates),
and access to sufficient financing at acceptable rates. The cost of
newbuilding or second-hand vessels will be significant, which could
affect our consolidated financial condition, cash flows and results
of operations.
A number of third-party vessel owners have installed exhaust gas
scrubbers for their vessels to comply with IMO 2020 requirements to
reduce the amount of sulfur in fuel globally. Increased demand for
and supply of vessels fitted with scrubbers could reduce demand for
our existing vessels and expose us to decreased charter
rates.
As of December 31, 2022, owners of approximately 33% of the
worldwide fleet of tankers with capacity over 10,000 dead-weight
tonnes had fitted or planned to fit scrubbers on their vessels.
Fitting scrubbers allows a ship to consume high sulfur fuel oil,
which is less expensive than the low sulfur fuel oil that ships
without scrubbers must consume to comply with the IMO 2020 low
sulfur emission requirements. Generally, owners of vessels with
higher operating fuel requirements (generally larger ships) are
more inclined to install scrubbers to comply with IMO 2020. Fuel
expense reductions from operating scrubber-fitted ships could
result in a substantial reduction of bunker cost for charterers
compared to the vessels in our fleet, which do not have scrubbers.
If (a) the supply of scrubber-fitted vessels increases, (b) the
differential between the cost of high sulfur fuel oil and low
sulfur fuel oil is high and (c) charterers prefer such vessels over
our vessels to the extent they do not have scrubbers, demand for
our vessels may be reduced and our ability to time charter-out our
vessels at competitive rates may be impaired, which may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Our insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to
our property or result from our operations.
The operation of oil tankers and lightering support vessels and the
transfer of oil is inherently risky. Although we carry hull and
machinery (marine and war risks) and protection and indemnity
insurance, and other liability insurance, all risks may not be
adequately insured against, and any particular claim may not be
paid or paid in full. In addition, we do not carry insurance on our
vessels covering the loss of revenues resulting from vessel
off-hire time. Any significant unpaid claims or off-hire time of
our vessels could harm our business, operating results and
financial condition. Any claims covered by insurance would be
subject to deductibles, and since it is possible that a large
number of claims may be brought, the aggregate amount of these
deductibles could be material. Certain of our insurance coverage is
maintained through mutual protection and indemnity associations,
and as a member of such associations, we may be required to make
additional payments over and above budgeted premiums if member
claims exceed association reserves. In addition, the cost of this
protection and indemnity coverage has significantly increased and
continues to increase. Even if our insurance coverage is adequate
to cover our losses, we may not be able to obtain a timely
replacement vessel in the event of a total loss of a
vessel.
We may be unable to procure adequate insurance coverage at
commercially reasonable rates in the future. For example, more
stringent environmental regulations have led to increased costs
for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of,
insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution. A
catastrophic oil spill, marine disasters or natural disasters could
exceed the insurance coverage, which could harm our business,
financial condition and operating results. Any uninsured or
under-insured loss could harm our business and financial condition.
In addition, the insurance may be voidable by the insurers as a
result of certain actions, such as vessels failing to maintain
certification with applicable maritime regulatory
organizations.
Changes in the insurance markets attributable to structural changes
in insurance and reinsurance markets and risk appetite, economic
factors, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, outbreaks of other
communicable diseases, war, terrorist attacks, environmental
catastrophes or political changes may also make certain types of
insurance more difficult to obtain. In addition, the insurance that
may be available may be significantly more expensive than existing
coverage or be available only with restrictive terms. Following our
sale in January 2022 of the Teekay Gas Business, we own a smaller
fleet, which may impact our buying power and could lead to us
having increased insurance coverage costs.
Teekay Tankers has substantial obligations related to finance
leases and may incur additional debt and finance lease obligations
in the future.
As of December 31, 2022, our consolidated debt and the current
and long-term portions of obligations related to finance leases
totaled $553.9 million (including $536.5 million of obligations
related to finance leases of Teekay Tankers) and we had the
capacity to borrow an additional $82.5 million under our revolving
credit facilities. In addition, we have a working capital loan
facility which provides borrowings of up to a maximum of $80
million. As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding amounts
under the working capital facility. These credit facilities may be
used by us for general corporate purposes. In addition to our
consolidated debt, our debt of a joint venture was $24.4 million as
of December 31, 2022, of which Teekay Tankers has guaranteed
50%. Our consolidated debt, finance lease obligations and joint
venture debt could increase substantially. We will continue to have
the ability to incur additional debt, subject to limitations in our
credit facilities. Our level of debt could have important
consequences to us, including:
•our
ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes, and
our ability to refinance our credit facilities may be impaired or
such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at
all;
•we
will need to use a substantial portion of our cash flow to make
principal and interest payments on our debt and obligations related
to finance leases, reducing the funds that would otherwise be
available for operations, future business opportunities,
repurchases of equity securities and dividends to
shareholders;
•our
finance lease and debt obligations may make us more vulnerable than
our competitors with less debt to competitive pressures or a
downturn in our industry or the economy generally; and
•our
finance lease and debt obligations may limit our flexibility in
obtaining additional financing, pursuing other business
opportunities and responding to changing business and economic
conditions.
Our ability to service our debt and obligations related to finance
leases depends upon, among other things, our financial and
operating performance, which is affected by prevailing economic
conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors,
many of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are
not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness and
obligations related to finance leases, we will be forced to take
actions such as reducing or delaying our business activities,
acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets,
restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity
capital or bankruptcy protection. We may not be able to effect any
of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all.
Use of LIBOR is scheduled to cease, and interest rates on our
LIBOR-based obligations may increase in the future.
LIBOR is no longer published on a representative basis, with the
exception of the most commonly used tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR,
which will no longer be published on a representative basis after
June 30, 2023. The U.S. Federal Reserve has selected SOFR as an
alternative, which is a relatively new index calculated by
short-term repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities.
SOFR is observed and backward-looking, which stands in contrast
with LIBOR, which is an estimated forward-looking rate and relies,
to some degree, on the expert judgment of submitting panel members.
The ongoing transition from LIBOR to SOFR or any other alternative
to LIBOR may not produce the economic equivalent of
LIBOR.
Some of the agreements governing our revolving credit facilities,
term loan facilities, interest rate swaps and finance lease
facilities provide for an alternate method of calculating interest
rates in the event that a LIBOR rate is unavailable. Transitions to
the alternative methods may adversely affect the costs of these
debt and finance lease obligations.
As at December 31, 2022, our revolving credit facilities, interest
rate swap and finance lease facilities continued to use LIBOR. In
January 2022, we amended one working capital loan facility to daily
SOFR. Although we anticipate that our existing revolving facility
and interest rate swaps and other interest rate derivative
agreements will be amended to SOFR or an alternative reference rate
prior to LIBOR ceasing on June 30, 2023, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to modify existing documentation or
renegotiate existing transactions before the discontinuation of
LIBOR.
Exposure to interest rate fluctuations will result in fluctuations
in our cash flows and operating results.
As of December 31, 2022, we had $390.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of outstanding indebtedness and finance lease
obligations that bear interest based on variable, floating rates.
We anticipate that we will enter into additional variable-rate
financing obligations in the future. We are exposed to the impact
of interest rate changes primarily through certain of our
borrowings and finance lease obligations that require us to make
interest payments based on LIBOR or Secured Overnight Finance Rate
(or
SOFR).
Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect our
profit margins, results of operations and our ability to service
our debt. Interest rates have increased substantially since early
2021, with central banks implementing several rate increases during
2022 and contemplating further increases in 2023. In accordance
with our risk management policy, we may use interest rate swaps to
reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates.
The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks
and costs associated with our floating rate debt. However, any
hedging activities entered into by us may not be effective in fully
mitigating our interest rate risk from our variable rate
indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2022, we had a total of $519.9 million of cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments. We manage our
available cash through various financial institutions and primarily
invest our cash reserves in bank deposits. Our returns on our cash
invested in short-term investments and the value of any marketable
securities in which we may invest could be adversely affected by
changes in interest rates.
In addition, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of
non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap
agreements, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments which
are time deposits held with financial institutions. For further
information about our financial instruments at December 31,
2022 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, please read
"Item 11 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk".
Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are exposed
to credit risk, which may be adversely affected by market
conditions, interest rates and failures of financial
institutions.
As of December 31, 2022, we had a total of $519.9 million of cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments. We manage our
available cash through various financial institutions and primarily
invest our cash reserves in bank deposits. A collapse or bankruptcy
of any of the financial institutions in which or through which we
hold or invest our cash reserves--or rumors or the appearance of
any such potential collapse or bankruptcy--might prevent us from
accessing all or a portion of our cash, cash equivalents or
short-term investments for an uncertain period of time, if at all.
As demonstrated recently by Silicon Valley Bank and other banks,
the collapse of a financial institution may occur very rapidly. Any
material limitation on our ability to access our cash, cash
equivalents or short-term investments could adversely affect our
liquidity, results of operations and ability to meet our
obligations. In addition, our returns on our cash invested in
short-term investments and the value of any marketable securities
in which we may invest could be adversely affected by changes in
interest rates or by performance of the capital
markets.
We may be unable to take advantage of favorable opportunities in
the spot market to the extent any of our vessels are employed on
medium to long-term time charters.
As of the date of this Annual Report, two of our time chartered-in
vessels currently operate under fixed-rate time-charter contracts.
To the extent we enter into medium or long-term time charters, the
vessels committed to such time charters may not be available for
spot charters during periods of increasing charter hire rates, when
spot charters might be more profitable.
Financing agreements containing operating and financial
restrictions may restrict our business and financing
activities.
The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in our
revolving credit facilities, working capital loan facility, term
loans, finance leases, indentures and in any of our future
financing agreements could adversely affect our ability to finance
future operations or capital needs or to pursue and expand our
business activities. For example, these financing arrangements
restrict our ability to:
•incur
additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
•pay
dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our
capital stock;
•prepay,
redeem or repurchase certain debt;
•issue
certain preferred shares or similar equity securities;
•make
loans and investments;
•enter
into a new line of business;
•incur
or permit certain liens to exist;
•enter
into transactions with affiliates;
•create
unrestricted subsidiaries;
•transfer,
sell, convey or otherwise dispose of assets;
•make
certain acquisitions and investments;
•enter
into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay
dividends; and
•consolidate,
merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.
In addition, certain of our debt agreements and finance leases
require us to comply with certain financial covenants. Our ability
to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in debt
instruments and finance leases may be affected by events beyond our
control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry
conditions. If any such events were to occur, we may fail to comply
with these covenants. If we breach any of the restrictions,
covenants, ratios or tests in our financing agreements or
indentures and we are unable to cure such breach within the
prescribed cure period, our obligations may, at the election of the
relevant lender, become immediately due and payable, and the
lenders’ commitment under our credit facilities, if any, to make
further loans available to us may terminate. In certain
circumstances, this could lead to cross-defaults under our other
financing agreements which in turn could result in obligations
becoming due and commitments being terminated under such
agreements. A default under our financing agreements could also
result in foreclosure on any of our vessels and other assets
securing related loans and finance leases or our need to sell
assets or take other actions in order to meet our debt
obligations.
Furthermore, the termination of any of our charter contracts by our
customers could result in the repayment of the debt facilities or
finance leases to which the chartered vessels relate.
Our and many of our customers' substantial operations outside the
United States expose us and them to political, governmental, and
economic instability, which could harm our operations.
Because our operations and the operations of our customers are
primarily conducted outside of the United States, they may be
affected by economic, political and governmental conditions in the
countries where we or our customers engage in business or where our
vessels are registered. Any disruption caused by these factors
could harm our business, including by reducing the levels of oil
exploration, development, and production activities in these areas
or restricting the pool of customers. We derive some of our
revenues from shipping oil from politically unstable regions.
Conflicts in these regions have included attacks on ships and other
efforts to disrupt shipping. Hostilities or other political
instability in regions where we operate or where we may operate
could have a material adverse effect on the growth of our business,
results of operations and financial condition and ability to pay
dividends.
In addition, tariffs, trade embargoes and other economic sanctions
by the United States or other countries against countries in which
we operate, to which we trade, or to which we or any of our
customers, joint venture partners or business partners become
subject, may limit trading activities with those countries or with
customers, which could also harm our business and ability to pay
dividends. For example, the United States, the European Union, the
United Kingdom and numerous other nations imposed substantial
additional sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. In
addition,
in 2018 and 2019, general trade tensions between the United States
and China escalated and led to each nation imposing tariffs on
certain products of the other nation, with the United States and
China subsequently negotiating an agreement to reduce trade
tensions which became effective in February 2020. Our business
could be harmed by increasing trade protectionism or trade tensions
between the United States and China, or trade embargoes or other
economic sanctions by the United States or other countries against
countries in the Middle East or Asia, Russia or elsewhere as a
result of terrorist attacks, hostilities, or diplomatic or
political pressures that limit trading activities with those
countries.
In addition, a government could requisition one or more of our
vessels, which is most likely during war or national emergency. Any
such requisition would cause a loss of the vessel and could harm
our cash flows and financial results.
Maritime claimants could arrest, or port authorities could detain,
our vessels, which could interrupt our cash flow.
Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers
of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien
against that vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In
many jurisdictions, a maritime lienholder may enforce its lien by
arresting a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or
attachment of one or more of our vessels could interrupt our cash
flow and require us to pay large sums of funds to have the arrest
or attachment lifted. In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as
South Africa, under the “sister ship” theory of liability, a
claimant may arrest both the vessel that is subject to the
claimant’s maritime lien and any “associated” vessel, which is any
vessel owned or controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try
to assert “sister ship” liability against one vessel in our fleet
or the RSAs in which we operate for claims relating to another of
our ships. Also, port authorities may seek to detain our vessels in
port, which could adversely affect our operating results or
relationships with customers.
Many of our seafaring employees are covered by collective
bargaining agreements and the failure to renew those agreements or
any future labor agreements may disrupt operations and adversely
affect our cash flows.
A significant portion of our seafarers are employed under
collective bargaining agreements. We may become subject to
additional labor agreements in the future. We may suffer labor
disruptions if relationships deteriorate with the seafarers or the
unions that represent them. Our collective bargaining agreements
may not prevent labor disruptions, particularly when the agreements
are being renegotiated. Salaries are typically renegotiated
annually or bi-annually for seafarers and annually for onshore
operational staff and may increase our cost of operation. Any labor
disruptions could harm our operations and could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, skilled employees
or crew necessary to operate our business.
Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly
skilled and qualified personnel. In crewing our vessels, we
require technically skilled employees with specialized training who
can perform physically demanding work. Any inability we
experience in the future to hire, train and retain a sufficient
number of qualified employees could impair our ability to manage,
maintain and grow our business.
Exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations results in
fluctuations in our cash flows and operating results.
Substantially all of our revenues are earned in U.S. Dollars,
although we are paid in Australian Dollars under some of our
contracts. A portion of our operating costs are incurred in
currencies other than U.S. Dollars. This partial mismatch in
operating revenues and expenses leads to fluctuations in net income
due to changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other
currencies, in particular the British Pound, the Euro, the
Singapore Dollar, Australian Dollar, and Canadian
Dollar.
Because we report our operating results in U.S. Dollars, changes in
the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to other currencies also
result in fluctuations of our reported revenues and earnings. Under
U.S. accounting standards, all foreign currency-denominated
monetary assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities, advances from affiliates and long-term debt are
revalued and reported based on the prevailing exchange rates at the
end of the applicable period. This revaluation historically has
caused us to report significant unrealized foreign currency
exchange gains or losses each period.
Our operating results are subject to seasonal
fluctuations.
Our tankers operate in markets that have historically exhibited
seasonal variations in tanker demand and, therefore, in
spot-charter rates. This seasonality may result in
quarter-to-quarter volatility in our results of operations. Tanker
markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of
increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere but weaker in
the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in the
northern hemisphere and refinery maintenance. In addition,
unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months tend to
disrupt vessel scheduling, which historically has increased oil
price volatility and oil trading activities in the winter months.
As a result, revenues generated by the tankers in our fleet have
historically been weaker during our fiscal quarters ended
June 30 and September 30, and stronger in our fiscal
quarters ended December 31 and March 31.
Teekay Tankers may expend substantial sums during the construction
of potential future newbuildings or upgrades to its existing
vessels, without earning revenue and without assurance that they
will be completed.
We may be required to expend substantial sums as progress payments
during the construction of any potential future newbuildings or any
vessel upgrades, but we may not derive any revenue from the vessel
until after its delivery or completion of such upgrades. In
addition, under some of our time charters if our delivery of a
vessel to a customer is delayed, we may be required to pay
liquidated damages in amounts equal to or, under some charters,
almost double the hire rate during the delay. For prolonged delays,
the customer may terminate the time charter and, in addition to the
resulting loss of revenues, we may be responsible for additional
substantial liquidated charges.
Our newbuilding financing commitments typically have been
prearranged. However, if we are unable to obtain financing required
to complete payments on any potential future newbuilding orders, we
could effectively forfeit all or a portion of the progress payments
previously made.
Teekay Tankers’ U.S. Gulf lightering business competes with
alternative methods of delivering crude oil to ports, which may
limit its earnings in this area of its operations.
Teekay Tankers’ U.S. Gulf lightering business faces competition
from alternative methods of delivering crude oil shipments to port,
including offshore offloading facilities. While we believe that
lightering offers advantages over alternative methods of delivering
crude oil to or from U.S. Gulf ports, Teekay Tankers’ lightering
revenues may be limited due to the availability of alternative
methods.
Teekay Tankers’ full service lightering operations are subject to
specific risks that could lead to accidents, oil spills or property
damage.
Lightering is subject to specific risks arising from the process of
safely bringing two large moving tankers next to each other and
mooring them for lightering operations. These operations require a
high degree of expertise and present a higher risk of collision
compared to when docking a vessel or transferring cargo at port.
Lightering operations, similar to marine transportation in general,
are also subject to risks due to events such as mechanical
failures, human error, and weather conditions.
Legal and Regulatory Risks
We are bound to adhere to sanctions from many jurisdictions,
including the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and
Canada, due to our domicile and location of offices.
The United States has imposed sanctions on several countries or
regions such as Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Iran, and the Ukraine
regions Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk. The U.S. also has imposed
substantial restrictions on trade with Russia, Yemen and
Venezuela.
Since February 2022, the United States and numerous other nations,
notably including the European Union and United Kingdom, have
imposed substantial sanctions on Russia regarding its invasion of
Ukraine. During 2022, Australia, the United Kingdom, the U.S. and
the European Union prohibited the import of Russian oil into their
territories. In December 2022, the U.S., United Kingdom and
European Union in particular have also prohibited the provision of
financial, legal, brokering, shipping and insurance services to any
person of any nationality carrying Russian origin oil unless it is
at or below a stated cap (currently USD $60 per barrel). These
Russian sanctions, together with the global reaction to the Russian
invasion of Ukraine, may reduce our revenues.
Past port calls by our vessels or third-party vessels participating
in RSAs to countries that are subject to sanctions imposed by the
United States, European Union and the United Kingdom could harm our
business.
Several years ago, oil tankers owned or chartered-in by us, or
third-party vessels participating in RSAs from which we derived
revenue, made port calls in certain countries that are currently
subject to sanctions imposed by the U.S., European Union and United
Kingdom, for the loading and discharging of oil products. Those
port calls did not violate U.S., European Union or United Kingdom
sanctions at the time, and we intend to maintain our compliance
with all U.S., European Union and United Kingdom
sanctions.
These historical port calls have not adversely affected our
business, which we believe is due to such port calls being legal at
the time and that we are able to demonstrate our compliance.
However, some charterers may choose not to utilize a vessel that
had previously called at a port in a now sanctioned country. Some
investors might decide not to invest in us simply because we
previously called on, or through our participation in RSAs
previously received revenue from calls on, ports in these
sanctioned countries. Any such investor reaction could adversely
affect the market for our common shares.
Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the
UK Bribery Act, the UK Criminal Finances Act and similar laws in
other jurisdictions could result in fines, criminal penalties,
contract terminations and an adverse effect on our
business.
We operate our vessels worldwide, which may require our vessels to
trade in countries known to have a reputation for corruption. We
are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable
anti-corruption laws and have adopted a code of business conduct
and ethics which is consistent and in full compliance with the U.S.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (or the
FCPA),
the Bribery Act 2010 of the United Kingdom (or the
UK Bribery Act)
and the Criminal Finances Act 2017 of the United Kingdom (or
the
CFA).
We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated
entities or their respective officers, directors, employees and
agents may take actions determined to be in violation of applicable
anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the FCPA,
the UK Bribery Act and the CFA. Any such violation could result in
substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, or
curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might
adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial
condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage
our reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting,
investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is
expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our
senior management.
The shipping industry is subject to substantial environmental and
other regulations, which may significantly limit operations and
increase expenses.
Our operations are affected by extensive and changing
international, national and local environmental protection laws,
regulations, treaties and conventions which are in force in
international waters, the jurisdictional waters of the countries in
which our vessels operate, as well as the countries of our vessels’
registration, including those governing oil spills, discharges to
air and water, and the handling and disposal of hazardous
substances and wastes. Many of these requirements are designed to
reduce the risk of oil spills and other pollution. In addition, we
believe that the heightened environmental, quality and security
concerns of insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers will
lead to additional regulatory requirements, including enhanced risk
assessment and security requirements and greater inspection and
safety requirements on vessels. For example, new or amended
legislation relating to ship recycling, sewage systems, emission
control (including emissions of greenhouse gases and other
pollutants) as well as ballast water treatment and ballast water
handling have been or may be adopted. The International Maritime
Organization (or the
IMO),
the United Nations agency for maritime safety and the prevention of
pollution by vessels, has also established progressive standards
limiting emissions from ships starting from 2023 towards 2030 and
2050 goals. These and other laws or regulations may
require significant additional capital expenditures or operating
expenses in order for us to comply with the laws and regulations
and maintain our vessels in compliance with international and
national regulations.
The environmental and other laws and regulations applicable to us
may affect the resale value or useful lives of our vessels, require
a reduction in cargo capacity, ship modifications or operational
changes or restrictions, lead to decreased availability of
insurance coverage for environmental matters or result in the
denial of access to certain jurisdictional waters or ports, or
detention in, certain ports. Under local, national, and foreign
laws, as well as international treaties and conventions, we could
incur material liabilities, including cleanup obligations, if there
is a release of petroleum or other hazardous substances from our
vessels or otherwise in connection with our operations. We could
also become subject to personal injury or property damage claims
relating to the release of or exposure to hazardous materials
associated with our operations. In addition, failure to comply with
applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and
civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or
termination of our operations, including, in certain instances,
seizure or detention of our vessels. For further information about
regulations affecting our business and the related requirements
imposed on us, please read "Item 4 – Information on the
Company: B. Business Overview – Regulations".
Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact
our operations and markets.
An increasing concern for, and focus on climate change has promoted
extensive existing and proposed international, national and local
regulations intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (including
from various jurisdictions and the IMO). These regulatory measures
may include the adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes,
increased efficiency standards and incentives or mandates for
renewable energy. Compliance with these or other regulations and
our efforts to participate in reducing greenhouse gas emissions are
expected to increase our compliance costs, require additional
capital expenditures to reduce vessel emissions and may require
changes to our business.
Our business includes transporting oil and oil products. Regulatory
changes and growing public concern about the environmental impact
of climate change may lead to reduced demand for our assets and
decreased demand for our services, while increasing or creating
greater incentives for use of alternative energy sources. We expect
regulatory and consumer efforts aimed at combating climate change
to intensify and accelerate. Although we do not expect demand for
oil to decline dramatically over the short-term, in the long-term,
climate change initiatives will likely significantly affect demand
for oil and for alternatives. Any such change could adversely
affect our ability to compete in a changing market and our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors,
lenders, customers and other market participants with respect to
ESG policies and practices may impose additional costs on us or
expose us to additional risks.
Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny
relating to their ESG policies and disclosures. Investor advocacy
groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, lenders
and other market participants are increasingly focused on ESG
practices and, in recent years, have placed increasing importance
on the implications and social cost of their investments. The
increased focus and activism related to ESG and similar matters may
hinder access to capital, as investors and lenders may decide to
reallocate capital or to not commit capital as a result of their
assessment of a company’s ESG practices. Companies that do not
adapt to or comply with investor, lender or other industry
stakeholder expectations and standards, which are evolving, or
which are perceived to have not responded appropriately to the
growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a
legal requirement to do so, may suffer from reputational damage and
their business, financial condition and stock price may be
adversely affected.
We may face increasing pressures from investors, lenders, customers
and other market participants, which are increasingly focused on
climate change, to prioritize sustainable energy practices, reduce
our carbon footprint and promote sustainability. As a result, we
may be required to implement more stringent ESG procedures or
standards so that our existing and future investors and lenders
remain invested in us and make further investments in us, or in
order for customers to consider conducting future business with us,
especially given our business of transporting oil and oil products.
In addition, it is likely we will incur additional costs and
require additional resources to monitor, report and comply with
wide-ranging ESG requirements. The occurrence of any of the
foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Regulations relating to ballast water discharge may adversely
affect our operational results and financial
condition.
The IMO has imposed updated guidelines for ballast water management
systems specifying the maximum amount of viable organisms allowed
to be discharged from a vessel’s ballast water. Depending on the
date of the International Oil Pollution Prevention renewal survey,
existing vessels are required to comply with updated applicable
standards before September 8, 2024. Compliance with the applicable
standard will involve installing on-board systems to treat ballast
water and eliminate unwanted organisms. We are currently
implementing ballast water management system upgrades on our
vessels in accordance with the required timelines imposed by the
IMO and also in line with our asset management requirements. The
cost of compliance with these regulations, primarily from
installing such systems, may be substantial and may adversely
affect our results of operation and financial
condition.
In addition to the requirements under the IMO, the United States
Coast Guard (or the
USCG)
has imposed mandatory ballast water management practices for all
vessels equipped with ballast water tanks and entering U.S. waters.
These USCG regulations may have the effect of restricting our
vessels from entering U.S. waters, unless we equip our vessels with
pre-approved BWTS management systems or receive authorization by a
duly-issued permit or exemption.
As a Marshall Islands corporation with our headquarters in Bermuda
and with a majority of our subsidiaries being Marshall Islands
entities and also having subsidiaries in other offshore
jurisdictions, our operations may be subject to economic substance
requirements, which could impact our business.
Finance ministers of the European Union rate jurisdictions for tax
transparency, governance, real economic activity and corporate tax
rate. Countries that do not adequately cooperate with the finance
ministers are put on a “grey list” or a “blacklist”. As of December
31, 2022, both Bermuda and the Marshall Islands remained
“white-listed” by the European Union. However, on February 14,
2023, the European Union moved the Marshall Islands back to the
"blacklist". Although we understand that the Marshall Islands is
committed to full cooperation with the European Union
and expects to be moved back to the "white list" in October 2023,
subject to review by the European Union Council, there is no
assurance that such a reclassification will occur. If the Marshall
Islands is not removed from the blacklist and sanctions or other
financial, tax or regulatory measures were applied by European
Union member states to countries on the list or further economic
substance requirements were imposed by the Marshall Islands, our
business could be harmed.
European Union member states have agreed upon a set of measures,
which they can choose to apply against blacklisted countries,
including increased monitoring and audits, withholding taxes,
special documentation requirements and anti-abuse provisions. The
European Commission has stated it will continue to support member
states' efforts to develop a more coordinated approach to sanctions
for the listed countries. European Union legislation prohibits
European Union funds from being channeled or transited through
entities in countries on the blacklist. Other jurisdictions in
which we operate could be put on the blacklist in the
future.
We are a Marshall Islands corporation with our headquarters in
Bermuda. A majority of our subsidiaries are Marshall Islands
entities and a number of our subsidiaries are either organized or
registered in Bermuda. These jurisdictions have enacted economic
substance laws and regulations with which we may be obligated to
comply. We believe that we and our subsidiaries are compliant with
the Bermuda and the Marshall Islands economic substance
requirements. However, if there were a change in the requirements
or interpretation thereof, or if there were an unexpected change to
our operations, any such change could result in non-compliance with
the economic substance legislation and related fines or other
penalties, increased monitoring and audits, and dissolution of the
non-compliant entity, which could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or operating results.
The smuggling of drugs or other contraband onto our vessels may
lead to governmental claims against us.
Our vessels call on certain ports where there is a higher risk that
smugglers may attempt to hide drugs and other contraband on
vessels, with or without the knowledge of crew members. To the
extent our vessels are found with contraband, whether inside or
attached to the hull of our vessel and whether with or without the
knowledge of any of our crew, we may face governmental or other
regulatory claims which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Information and Technology Risks
A cyber-attack could materially disrupt our business.
We rely on information technology systems and networks in our
operations and the administration of our business.
Cyber-attacks have increased in number and sophistication in
recent years. Our operations could be targeted by individuals or
groups seeking to sabotage or disrupt our information technology
systems and networks, or to steal data. A successful cyber-attack
could materially disrupt our operations, including the safety of
our operations, or lead to the unauthorized release of information
or alteration of information on our systems. Any such attack or
other breaches of our information technology systems could have a
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been accompanied by cyber-attacks
against the Ukrainian government and other countries in the region.
It is possible that these attacks could have collateral effects on
additional critical infrastructure and financial institutions
globally or may be initiated against the United States or European
Union or other countries, which could adversely affect our
operations. It is difficult to assess the likelihood of such a
threat and any potential impact at this time.
Our failure to comply with data privacy laws could damage our
customer relationships and expose us
to litigation risks and potential fines.
Data privacy is subject to frequently changing rules and
regulations, which sometimes conflict among the various
jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services and
continue to develop in ways which we cannot predict, including with
respect to evolving technologies such as cloud computing. For
example, the European Union’s General Data Privacy Regulation (or
the
GDPR),
a comprehensive legal framework to govern data collection,
processing, use, transfer and sharing and related consumer privacy
rights took effect in May 2018 and the People’s Republic of China
adopted the Personal Information Protection Law, containing similar
provisions, which took effect in November 2021. These and other
data privacy laws include significant penalties for non-compliance.
Our failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in
response to changing regulatory requirements in this area could
result in legal liability or impairment to our reputation in the
marketplace, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities
We are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which
does not have a well-developed body of corporate case law or
bankruptcy law and, as a result, shareholders may have fewer rights
and protections under Marshall Islands law than under a typical
jurisdiction in the United States.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of incorporation
and bylaws and by the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act
(or the
BCA).
Many of the provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the
corporation laws of a number of states in the United States.
However, there have been few judicial cases in the Republic of the
Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA. The rights and fiduciary
responsibilities of directors and officers under the laws of the
Republic of the Marshall Islands are not as clearly established as
the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors and officers
under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in certain U.S.
jurisdictions.
Shareholder rights may differ as well. While the BCA incorporates
the non-statutory law, or judicial case law, of the State of
Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative
provisions, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting
their interests in the face of actions by management, directors or
any controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a
corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction. In addition, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands does not have a well-developed
body of bankruptcy law. As such, in the case of a bankruptcy
involving us, there may be a delay of bankruptcy proceedings and
the ability of securityholders and creditors to receive recovery
after a bankruptcy proceeding, and any such recovery may be less
predictable.
Because we are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, it
may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce
judgments against us, our directors or our management.
We are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, and all of
our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, a
majority of our directors and officers are non-residents of the
United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of
these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a
result, it may be difficult or impossible to bring an action
against us or against these individuals in the United States. Even
if successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the
Marshall Islands and of other jurisdictions may prevent or restrict
the enforcement of a judgment against us or our assets or our
directors and officers.
Tax Risks
In addition to the following risk factors, you should read "Item 4E
– Taxation of the Company", "Item 10 – Additional Information –
Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" and "Item
10 – Additional Information – Non-United States Tax Considerations"
for a more complete discussion of the expected material U.S.
federal and non-U.S. income tax considerations relating to us and
the ownership and disposition of our common stock.
Although we presently do not expect to be a "passive foreign
investment company" (or PFIC) for the 2023 tax year, we currently
have significant cash assets which could increase our risk that
U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a PFIC in 2023 and future
years, which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax
consequences to our U.S. shareholders and other adverse
consequences to us and all our shareholders.
A non-U.S. entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes will be treated as a PFIC
for such purposes in any tax year in which, after taking into
account the income and assets of the corporation and, pursuant to a
“look-through” rule, any other corporation or partnership in which
the corporation directly or indirectly owns at least 25% of the
stock or equity interests (by value) and any partnership in which
the corporation directly or indirectly owns less than 25% of the
equity interests (by value) to the extent the corporation satisfies
an "active partner" test and does not elect out of "look through"
treatment, either (i) at least 75% of its gross income
consists of “passive income” (or the
PFIC income test)
or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of the entity’s
assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the
production of “passive income” (or the
PFIC asset test).
For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends,
interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property
and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties that are
received from unrelated parties in connection with the active
conduct of a trade or business. By contrast, income derived from
the performance of services does not constitute “passive
income.”
For purposes of the PFIC asset test, cash and other current assets
readily convertible into cash (or "cash assets") are considered to
be assets that produce passive income. We have significant cash
assets. Please read “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – Overview”. At the present
time, we do not expect to be treated as a PFIC for the 2023 tax
year under the PFIC asset test. However, if current estimates or
assumptions relating to our current PFIC asset test modeling,
including our assumptions on the tanker market and the value of our
fleet, were to prove to be inaccurate or contrary to future
results, or if any other factors that would negatively affect PFIC
asset outcomes were to occur, we could be a PFIC in 2023 or future
tax years. In addition, should Teekay Tankers dispose of a certain
number of their vessels without immediately replacing those
vessels, we expect this would result in a significant risk that we
would become a PFIC in the tax year in which these sales occurred.
Furthermore, if our ownership of Teekay Tankers falls below 25% of
the equity interests (by value) of Teekay Tankers, such as by way
of Teekay Tankers issuing new equity and diluting our ownership, by
way of a merger, or by way of us selling equity interests in Teekay
Tankers, based on our current asset portfolio, we expect we would
become a PFIC in the year in which this event occurred. If any of
the scenarios set out above were to occur, our PFIC status for any
tax year may depend significantly on how, and how quickly, we use
our cash assets, including the cash proceeds received in connection
with any dispositions of our shares in Teekay Tankers or from the
sale of any of Teekay Tankers’ vessels, and the extent to which we
acquire or retain assets that are not considered to produce passive
income. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not be
a PFIC in 2023 or any future tax years under the PFIC asset test,
which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to
U.S. shareholders and may cause the price of our common stock to
decline and materially and adversely affect our ability to raise
capital on acceptable terms.
Additionally, with respect to the PFIC income test, there are legal
uncertainties involved in determining whether the income derived
from our and our look-through subsidiaries' time-chartering
activities constitutes rental income or income derived from the
performance of services, including the decision in
Tidewater Inc. v. United States,
565 F.3d 299 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that income derived from
certain time-chartering activities should be treated as rental
income rather than services income for purposes of a foreign sales
corporation provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (or the
Code).
However, the Internal Revenue Service (or the
IRS)
stated in an Action on Decision (AOD 2010-01) that it disagrees
with, and will not acquiesce to, the way that the rental versus
services framework was applied to the facts in the
Tidewater
decision, and in its discussion stated that the time charters at
issue in
Tidewater
would be treated as producing services income for PFIC purposes.
The IRS’s statement with respect to
Tidewater
cannot be relied upon or otherwise cited as precedent by taxpayers.
Consequently, in the absence of any binding legal authority
specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs,
there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court would not follow
the
Tidewater
decision in interpreting the PFIC provisions of the Code.
Nevertheless, based on our and our look-through subsidiaries’
current assets and operations, we intend to take the position that
we are not now and have never been a PFIC by reason of the PFIC
income test. No assurance can be given, however, that this position
would be sustained by a court if contested by the IRS or that we
would not constitute a PFIC by reason of the PFIC income test (or,
alternatively, as described above, the PFIC asset test) for the
2023 tax year or any future tax year if there were to be changes in
our and our look-through subsidiaries' assets, income or
operations.
If we or the IRS were to determine that we are or have been a PFIC
for any tax year during which a U.S. Holder (as defined below under
"Item 10 – Additional Information – Material United States Federal
Income Tax Considerations") held our common stock, such U.S. Holder
would face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. For a more
comprehensive discussion regarding the tax consequences to U.S.
Holders if we are treated as a PFIC, please read "Item 10 –
Additional Information – Material United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations – United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S.
Holders – Consequences of Possible PFIC
Classification".
We are subject to taxes, which reduces our cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
We or our subsidiaries are subject to tax in certain jurisdictions
in which we or our subsidiaries are organized, own assets or have
operations, which reduces the amount of our cash available for
distribution. In computing our tax obligations in these
jurisdictions, we are required to take various tax accounting and
reporting positions, including in certain cases estimates, on
matters that are not entirely free from doubt and for which we may
not have received rulings from the governing authorities. We cannot
assure you that upon review of these positions, the applicable
authorities will agree with our positions. A successful challenge
by a tax authority could result in additional tax imposed on us or
our subsidiaries, further reducing the cash available for
distribution. We have established reserves in our financial
statements that we believe are adequate to cover our liability for
any such additional taxes. We cannot assure you, however, that such
reserves will be sufficient to cover any additional tax liability
that may be imposed on our subsidiaries. Additionally, tax laws,
including tax rates, in the jurisdictions in which we operate may
change as a result of macroeconomic or other factors outside of our
control. For example, various governments and organizations such as
the European Union and Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development (or the
OECD)
are increasingly focused on tax reform and other legislative or
regulatory action to increase tax revenue. In January 2019, the
OECD announced further work in continuation of its Base Erosion and
Profit Shifting project, focusing on two “pillars.” Pillar One
provides a framework for the reallocation of certain residual
profits of multinational enterprises to market jurisdictions where
goods or services are used or consumed. Pillar Two consists of two
interrelated rules referred to as Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules,
which operate to impose a minimum tax rate of 15% calculated on a
jurisdictional basis. In October 2021, more than 130 countries
tentatively signed on to a framework that imposes a minimum tax
rate of 15%, among other provisions. The framework calls for law
enactment by OECD and G20 members in 2022 to take effect in 2023
and 2024. Qualifying international shipping income is exempt from
many aspects of this framework if the exemption requirements are
met. On December 20, 2021, the OECD published model rules to
implement the Pillar Two rules, which are generally consistent with
agreement reached by the framework in October 2021. On December 12,
2022, the European Union member states agreed to implement the
OECD’s Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% on large
multinational enterprises with revenues of at least €750 million,
which generally would go into effect in 2024. These changes, when
and if enacted and implemented by various countries in which we do
business, could result in additional tax imposed on us or our
subsidiaries, further reducing the cash available for
distribution.
In addition, changes in our operations or ownership could result in
additional tax being imposed on us or on our subsidiaries in
jurisdictions in which operations are conducted. For example,
changes in the ownership of our stock may cause us to be unable to
claim an exemption from U.S. federal income tax under
Section 883 of the Code. If we were not exempt from tax under
Section 883 of the Code, we would be subject to U.S. federal
income tax on income we earn from voyages into or out of the United
States, the amount of which is not within our complete control. In
addition, we may rely on an exemption to be deemed non-resident in
Canada for Canadian tax purposes under subsection 250(6) of the
Canada Income Tax Act for (i) corporations whose principal business
is international shipping and that derive all or substantially all
of their revenue from international shipping, and (ii) corporations
that are holding companies that have over half of the cost base of
their investments in eligible international shipping subsidiaries
and receive substantially all of their revenue as dividends from
those eligible international shipping subsidiaries are exempt under
subsection 250(6). If we were to cease to qualify for the
subsection 250(6) exemption, we could be subject to Canadian income
tax and also Canadian withholding tax on outbound distributions,
which could have an adverse effect on our operating
results. In addition, to the extent Teekay Corporation were to
distribute dividends as a corporation determined to be resident in
Canada, stockholders who are not resident in Canada for purposes of
the Canada Income Tax Act would generally be subject to Canadian
withholding tax in respect of such dividends paid by Teekay
Corporation.
Typically, most of our and our subsidiaries' time-charter and
spot-voyage charter contracts require the charterer to reimburse us
for a certain period of time in respect of taxes incurred as a
consequence of the voyage activities of our vessels, while
performing under the relevant charter. However, our rights to
reimbursement under charter contracts may not survive for as long
as the applicable tax statutes of limitations in the jurisdictions
in which we operate. As such, we may not be able to obtain
reimbursement from our charterers where any applicable taxes that
are not paid before the contractual claim period has
expired.
Item 4.Information
on the Company
A.Overview,
History and Development
Overview
Teekay Corporation is a leading provider of international crude oil
and other marine transportation services. Teekay currently provides
these services directly and through its controlling ownership
interest in Teekay Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: TNK) (or
Teekay Tankers),
one of the world’s largest owners and operators of mid-sized crude
tankers.
The consolidated Teekay entities manage and operate total assets
under management of approximately $2 billion, comprised of
approximately 65 conventional tankers and other marine assets. With
offices in eight countries and approximately 2,500 seagoing and
shore-based employees, Teekay provides a comprehensive set of
marine services to the world’s leading energy companies and the
Australian government.
Our business strategy focuses on:
•Generating
attractive risk-adjusted returns, utilizing our strong operating
franchise and capabilities, global footprint and operational
excellence;
•Offering
a wide breadth of marine solutions to meet our customers’
needs;
•Providing
superior customer service by maintaining high reliability, safety,
environmental and quality standards; and
•Leveraging
Teekay Parent’s deep expertise and experience in our industry to
pursue suitable investment opportunities in both the broader
shipping sector and, potentially, in new and adjacent markets,
which we expect to be dynamic as the world pushes towards greater
energy diversification.
Our organizational structure can be divided into (a) our
controlling interest in Teekay Tankers and (b) Teekay and its
remaining subsidiaries (or
Teekay Parent).
At March 1, 2023, we have an economic ownership interest of 28.5%
in Teekay Tankers and hold 53.7% of the voting power of Teekay
Tankers, through our ownership of shares of Teekay Tankers' Class A
and Class B common stock. Teekay Tankers includes all of our
conventional crude oil and product tankers. Teekay Tankers'
conventional tankers primarily operate in the spot tanker market or
are subject to time charters or contracts of affreightment that are
priced on a spot market basis or are short-term, fixed-rate
contracts. Teekay Tankers considers contracts that have an original
term of less than one year in duration to be short-term. Certain of
its tankers are on fixed-rate time-charter contracts with an
initial duration of at least one year. Teekay Tankers also owns a
ship-to-ship (or
STS)
transfer business that performs full service lightering and
lightering support operations in the U.S. Gulf and Caribbean.
Please read “– B. Business Overview – Our Consolidated Fleet” and
“– C. Organizational Structure”.
Following the sale of the Teekay Gas Business in January 2022,
Teekay Parent repaid nearly all of its debt and is now debt free.
As a result, Teekay Parent currently has a net cash position of
over $300 million. In addition to its interests in Teekay Tankers
highlighted above, Teekay Parent also has direct business
operations in Australia through which it provides operational and
maintenance marine services to third parties, and Teekay Parent
provides marine and corporate services to Teekay Tankers through
its various management services companies. Teekay Parent no longer
has direct interests in any vessels or FPSO units. Please read “–
B. Operations – Teekay Parent”.
Teekay Parent has developed extensive industry experience and
industry-leading capabilities over its 50-year history, and has
significant financial strength and liquidity following the sale of
the Teekay Gas Business in January 2022. As the world pushes for
greater energy diversification and a lower environmental footprint,
we expect to see investment and acquisition opportunities in both
the broader shipping sectors and potentially new and adjacent
markets. Our primary financial objective for Teekay Parent is to
increase Teekay’s intrinsic value per share, which includes, among
other things, increasing the intrinsic value of Teekay
Tankers.
In addition to Teekay Tankers, we also formed and developed
industry-leading public companies Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (now
Seapeak) and Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (now Altera) related to
our expansion into the liquefied gas shipping sector and the
offshore production, storage and transportation sector,
respectively. We sold our entire interests in Seapeak and related
assets to affiliates of Stonepeak pursuant to the sale of the
Teekay Gas Business in January 2022; we sold a significant portion
of our interests in Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. to affiliates of
Brookfield Business Partners L.P. in a strategic transaction in
2017, and our remaining interests to Brookfield in May 2019 (or
the
2019 Brookfield Transaction).
Please read “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
– Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations – Overview” for more information about the
sale of the Teekay Gas Business.
The Teekay organization was founded in 1973. We are a Marshall
Islands corporation and maintain our principal executive office at
4th Floor, Belvedere Building, 69 Pitts Bay Road, Hamilton, HM 08,
Bermuda. Our telephone number at such address is
(441) 298-2530.
The SEC maintains an Internet site at www.sec.gov, that contains
reports, proxy and information statements, and other information
regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. Our
website is www.teekay.com. The information contained on our website
is not part of this annual report.
Seasonality of our operations
Our tankers operate in markets that have historically exhibited
seasonal variations in tanker demand and, therefore, in
spot-charter rates. This seasonality may result in
quarter-to-quarter volatility in our results of operations. Tanker
markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of
increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere but weaker in
the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in the
northern hemisphere and refinery maintenance. In addition,
unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months tend to
disrupt vessel scheduling, which historically has increased oil
price volatility and oil trading activities in the winter months.
As a result, revenues generated by the tankers in our fleet have
historically been weaker during our fiscal quarters ended
June 30 and September 30, and stronger in our fiscal
quarters ended December 31 and March 31.
B.Business
Overview
Subsequent to the sale of the Teekay Gas Business and the
disposition and recycling of our FPSO units, we have two primary
lines of business: (1) conventional tankers and (2) operational and
maintenance marine services. We allocate capital and assess
performance from the separate perspectives of Teekay Tankers and
Teekay Parent, as well as from the perspective of the lines of
business.
Teekay Tankers
The primary business of Teekay Tankers is to own and operate crude
oil and refined product tankers. Teekay Tankers employs a
chartering strategy that seeks to capture upside opportunities in
the tanker spot market while using fixed-rate time charters and
full service lightering contracts to reduce downside risks. In
addition to its core business, Teekay Tankers also provides STS
support services, along with its tanker commercial management and
technical management operations. We believe this improves Teekay
Tankers' ability to manage the cyclicality of the tanker market
through the less volatile cash flows generated by these operational
areas. Historically, the tanker industry has experienced volatility
in profitability due to changes in the supply of, and demand for,
tanker capacity. Tanker supply and demand are each influenced by
several factors beyond our control.
Chartering Strategy.
Teekay Tankers operates its vessels in the spot market, under
time-charter contracts of varying lengths and under FSL contracts,
in an effort to maximize cash flow from its vessels based on its
outlook for freight rates, oil tanker market conditions and global
economic conditions. As of December 31, 2022, a total of 43 of
its owned and leased vessels, one vessel owned through a 50/50
joint venture and four time chartered-in vessels operated in the
spot market through employment on spot voyage charters. The mix of
vessels trading in the spot market, providing lightering services
in the U.S. Gulf (or
USG),
or subject to fixed-rate time charters will change from time to
time. Teekay Tankers also may seek to increase or decrease its
exposure to the freight market through the use of freight forward
agreements or other financial instruments.
Voyage Charters.
Tankers operating in the spot market typically are chartered for a
single voyage, which may last up to several weeks. Spot market
revenues may generate increased profit margins during times when
tanker rates are increasing, while tankers operating under
fixed-rate
time charters generally provide more predictable cash flows without
exposure to the variable expenses such as port charges and bunkers.
Under a typical voyage charter in the spot market, the shipowner is
paid on the basis of moving cargo from a loading port to a
discharge port. The shipowner is responsible for paying both vessel
operating costs and voyage expenses, and the charterer is
responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports.
Voyage expenses are all expenses attributable to a particular
voyage, including any bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo
loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and
commissions. Vessel operating expenses are incurred regardless of
particular voyage details and include crewing, repairs and
maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils and communication
expenses. When the vessel is “off-hire,” or not available for
service, the vessel is unavailable to complete new voyage charters
until the off hire is finalized and the vessel again becomes
available for service. Under a voyage charter, the shipowner is
generally required, among other things, to keep the vessel
seaworthy, to crew and maintain the vessel and to comply with
applicable regulations.
Time Charters.
A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel for a fixed
period of time at a specified daily rate. A customer generally
selects a time charter if it wants a dedicated vessel for a period
of time, and the customer is commercially responsible for the use
of the vessel. Under a typical time charter, the shipowner provides
crewing and other services related to the vessel’s operation, the
cost of which is included in the daily rate, while the customer is
responsible for substantially all of the voyage expenses. When the
vessel is "off-hire", or not available for service, the customer
generally is not required to pay the hire rate, and the shipowner
is responsible for all costs, including the cost of fuel bunkers,
unless the customer is responsible for the circumstances giving
rise to the lack of availability. A vessel generally will be deemed
to be off-hire if there is an occurrence preventing the full
working of the vessel. “Hire rate” refers to the basic payment from
the charterer for the use of the vessel. Under our time charters,
hire is payable monthly in advance in U.S. Dollars. Hire payments
may be reduced, or under some time charters the shipowner must pay
liquidated damages, if the vessel does not perform to certain of
its specifications, such as if the amount of fuel consumed to power
the vessel under normal circumstances exceeds a guaranteed
amount.
Full Service Lightering.
FSL is the process of transferring cargo between vessels, typically
of different sizes. Teekay Tankers’ lightering capability leverages
access to its Aframax fleet operating in the USG and its offshore
lightering support acumen to provide full service lightering.
Teekay Tankers’ customers include oil companies and trading
companies that are importing or exporting crude oil in the USG to
or from larger Suezmax tankers and Very Large Crude Carriers
(or
VLCCs)
which are port restricted due to their size.
Revenue Sharing Agreements
Teekay Tankers and certain third-party vessel owners have entered
into RSAs.
As of December 31, 2022, 25 of the Suezmax tankers and 15 of the
Aframax / LR2 tankers in its fleet, as well as seven vessels owned
by third parties, were subject to RSAs. The vessels subject to the
RSAs are employed and operated in the spot market or pursuant to
time charters of less than one year.
The RSAs are designed to spread the costs and risks associated with
operation of vessels and to share the net revenues earned by all of
the vessels in the RSA, based on the actual earning days each
vessel is available and the relative performance capabilities,
including speed and bunker consumption of each vessel. The
calculation of performance capabilities of each vessel is adjusted
on standard intervals based on current data. Teekay Tankers' share
of the net revenues includes additional amounts, consisting of a
per vessel per day fee and a percentage of the gross revenues
related to the vessels owned by third-parties, based on its
responsibilities in employing the vessels subject to the RSAs on
voyage charters or time charters.
A participating tanker will no longer participate in the applicable
RSAs if it becomes subject to a time charter with a term exceeding
one year, unless otherwise agreed by all other participants for the
applicable RSA, or if the tanker suffers an actual or constructive
total loss or is sold or becomes controlled by a person who is not
an affiliate of a party to the applicable RSA agreements. An RSA
participant may withdraw from the RSA upon at least 90 days' notice
and shall cease to participate in the RSA if, among other things,
it materially breaches the RSA agreement and fails to resolve the
breach within a specified cure period or experiences certain
bankruptcy events.
Industry and Competition
Teekay Tankers competes in the Suezmax (125,000 to 199,999 dwt) and
Aframax (85,000 to 124,999 dwt) crude oil tanker markets.
Competition in the Aframax and Suezmax markets is affected by the
availability of other size vessels that compete in these markets.
Suezmax size vessels, LR2 (85,000 to 109,999 dwt) size vessels and
Panamax (55,000 to 84,999 dwt) size vessels can compete for many of
the same charters for which Aframax tankers compete; Aframax size
vessels and VLCCs (200,000 to 319,999 dwt) can compete for many of
the same charters for which Suezmax tankers may compete. Because of
their large size, VLCCs and Ultra Large Crude Carriers (or
ULCCs)
(320,000+ dwt) rarely compete directly with Aframax tankers, and
ULCCs rarely compete with Suezmax tankers for specific charters.
However, because VLCCs and ULCCs comprise a substantial portion of
the total capacity of the market, movements by such vessels into
Suezmax trades and of Suezmax vessels into Aframax trades would
heighten the already intense competition.
Teekay Tankers also competes in the Long Range 2 (or
LR2)
product tanker market. Competition in the LR2 product tanker market
is affected by the availability of other size vessels that compete
in the market. Long Range 1 (or
LR1)
(55,000-84,999 dwt) size vessels, as well as LR2 size vessels that
trade in the Aframax market, can compete for many of the same
charters for which LR2 tankers compete.
Seaborne transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products
are provided both by major energy companies (private as well as
state-owned) and by independent ship owners. The desire of many
major energy companies to outsource all or a portion of their
shipping requirements has caused the number of oil tankers owned by
energy companies to decrease in the last 20 years. As a result of
this trend, independent tanker companies now own or control a large
majority of the international tanker fleet.
The operation of tanker vessels, as well as the seaborne
transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products is a
competitive market. There are several large operators of Aframax,
Suezmax, and LR2 tonnage that provide these services globally.
Competition in both the crude and product tanker markets is
primarily based on price, location (for single-voyage or short-term
charters), size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel,
oil tanker shipping experience and quality of ship operations, and
the size of an operating fleet, with larger fleets allowing for
greater vessel substitution, availability and customer service.
Aframax and Suezmax tankers are particularly well-suited for short
and medium-haul crude oil routes, while LR2 tankers are well-suited
for long and medium-haul refined product routes.
Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing
volatility in profitability due to changes in oil tanker demand and
oil tanker supply. The cyclical nature of the tanker industry
causes significant increases or decreases in charter rates earned
by operators of oil tankers. Because voyage charters occur in short
intervals and are priced on a current, or “spot,” market rate, the
spot market is more volatile than time charters. In the past, there
have been periods when spot rates declined below the operating cost
of the vessels.
Oil Tanker Demand.
Demand for oil tankers is a function of several factors, including
world oil demand and supply (which affect the amount of crude oil
and refined products transported in tankers), and the relative
locations of oil production, refining and consumption (which
affects the distance over which the oil or refined products are
transported).
Oil has been one of the world’s primary energy sources for decades.
According to the International Energy Agency (or
IEA),
global oil consumption decreased substantially in 2020 as a result
of demand destruction caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, oil
demand recovered substantially in 2021 and 2022, and is expected to
increase further in 2023.
The distance over which crude oil or refined petroleum products are
transported is determined by seaborne trading and distribution
patterns, which are principally influenced by the relative
advantages of the various sources of production and locations of
consumption. Seaborne trading patterns are also periodically
influenced by geopolitical events, such as wars, hostilities and
trade embargoes that divert tankers from normal trading patterns,
as well as by inter-regional oil trading activity created by oil
supply and demand imbalances. Historically, the level of oil
exports from the Middle East has had a strong effect on the crude
tanker market due to the relatively long distance between this
supply source and typical discharge points. Over the past few
years, the growing economies of China and India have increased and
diversified their oil imports, resulting in an overall increase in
transportation distance for crude tankers. Major consumers in Asia
have increased their crude import volumes from longer-haul
producers, such as those in the Atlantic Basin.
The limited growth in refinery capacity in developed nations, the
largest consumers of oil in recent years, and increasing refinery
capacity in the Middle East and parts of Asia where capacity
surplus supports exports, have also altered traditional trading
patterns and contributed to the overall increase in transportation
distance for both crude tankers and product tankers.
Oil Tanker Supply.
New Aframax, Suezmax and LR2 tankers are generally expected to have
a lifespan of approximately 25 to 30 years, based on estimated hull
fatigue life. As of December 31, 2022, the world Aframax crude
tanker fleet consisted of 680 vessels, with an additional 46
Aframax crude oil tanker newbuildings on order for delivery through
2025; the world Suezmax crude tanker fleet consisted of 655
vessels, with an additional 20 Suezmax crude oil tanker
newbuildings on order for delivery through 2025; and the world LR2
product tanker fleet consisted of 416 vessels, with an additional
44 LR2 product tanker newbuildings on order through 2025.
Currently, delivery of a vessel typically occurs within two to
three years of ordering.
The supply of oil tankers is primarily a function of new vessel
deliveries, vessel scrapping and the conversion or loss of tonnage.
The level of newbuilding orders is primarily a function of
newbuilding prices in relation to current and prospective charter
market conditions. Other factors that affect tanker supply are the
availability of financing and shipyard capacity. The level of
vessel scrapping activity is primarily a function of scrapping
prices in relation to current and prospective charter market
conditions and operating, repair and survey costs. Industry
regulations also affect scrapping levels. Please read “Regulations”
below. Demand for drybulk vessels and floating storage off-take
units, to which tankers can be converted, strongly affects the
number of tanker conversions.
For many years, there has been a significant and ongoing shift
toward quality in vessels and operations, as charterers and
regulators increasingly focus on safety and protection of the
environment. Since 1990, there has been an increasing emphasis on
environmental protection through legislation and regulations such
as the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (or
OPA 90),
IMO regulations and protocols, and classification society
procedures that demand higher quality tanker construction,
maintenance, repair and operations. We believe that operators with
a proven ability to integrate these required safety regulations
into their operations have a competitive advantage.
Teekay Parent
In addition to its holdings in Teekay Tankers, Teekay Parent has
direct business operations in Australia through which it provides
operational and maintenance marine services to the Australian
government and third parties, and Teekay Parent also provides
marine and corporate services to Teekay Tankers through its various
management services companies. Teekay Parent currently has no
direct interests in any vessels or FPSO units. Our business
strategy contemplates leveraging Teekay Parent’s deep expertise and
experience in our industry to pursue suitable investment
opportunities in both the shipping sector and, potentially, in new
and adjacent markets, which we expect to be dynamic as the world
pushes towards greater energy diversification.
Australian Operations
Teekay Parent has been operating in Australia for over 25 years,
providing various marine services to the Commonwealth of Australia
and other Australian companies; Teekay Parent is one of the largest
employers of Australian seafarers. Our marine services business in
Australia provides operations, supply, maintenance and engineering
support and crewing and training services, primarily under
long-term contracts with the Commonwealth of Australia, for ten
Australian government-owned vessels. In addition, we provide
crewing services for an FPSO unit in Western
Australia.
FPSO Units
In recent years, Teekay Parent directly owned FPSO units, all of
which now have been divested by Teekay Parent.
Teekay Parent's
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit was on a charter contract with Spirit Energy Ltd.
(or
Spirit Energy)
in the North Sea. The contract was based on a fixed charter rate
and was subject to early termination options. In February 2022,
Spirit Energy provided a formal notice of termination of the FPSO
charter contract, and oil production ceased on the Chestnut oil
field on March 31, 2022. The
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO charter contract was terminated on June 30, 2022 upon
completion of the decommissioning activities. In April 2022, Teekay
Parent entered into an agreement to sell the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit to a third party, which sale was completed on July 1,
2022 for gross proceeds of $13.3 million and Teekay Parent
recognized a gain of $13.0 million during the third quarter of
2022. The proceeds from the sale of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit covered the decommissioning costs for the unit, the
majority of which were incurred in the second quarter of
2022.
In March 2020, Teekay Parent entered into a new bareboat charter
contract with the existing charterer of the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit. In April 2021, BP plc (or
BP)
announced its decision to suspend production from the Foinaven oil
fields and permanently remove the
Petrojarl
Foinaven
FPSO unit from the site. In August 2022, BP redelivered the FPSO
unit to us and upon redelivery, Teekay Parent received a fixed lump
sum payment of $11.6 million from BP, which Teekay Parent
expects will cover the cost of green recycling the FPSO unit. On
October 21, 2022, Teekay Parent delivered the FPSO unit to a
EU-approved shipyard for green recycling. Teekay Parent expects to
make the remaining scheduled payments related to this recycling by
mid-2024.
In the first quarter of 2020, CNR International (U.K.) Limited
(or
CNRI)
provided formal notice to Teekay of its intention to decommission
the Banff field and remove Teekay Parent's
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit and the related chartered-in
Apollo Spirit
floating storage and offtake (or
FSO)
unit from the field in June 2020. The oil production under the
existing contract for the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit ceased in June 2020, and Teekay Parent commenced
decommissioning activities during the second quarter of 2020 and
into 2021. In May 2021, Teekay Parent was deemed to have fulfilled
its prior decommissioning obligations associated with the Banff
field. In May 2021, Teekay Parent delivered the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit to an EU-approved shipyard for recycling; green-recycling
of the unit was completed in the fourth quarter of
2022.
Our Consolidated Fleet
As at March 1, 2023, Teekay Tankers' fleet consisted of 54 owned
and chartered-in vessels, excluding one Aframax / LR2 tanker that
was delivered on March 15, 2023 under a two year time charter-in
contract. The following table summarizes our owned and chartered-in
fleet as at March 1, 2023, and excludes third-party vessels under

Our owned and leased vessels are of Bahamian and Hong Kong
registry.
Many of our Aframax and Suezmax vessels have been designed and
constructed as substantially identical sister ships. These vessels
can, in many situations, be interchanged, providing scheduling
flexibility and greater capacity utilization. In addition, spare
parts and technical knowledge can be applied to all the vessels in
the particular series, thereby generating operating
efficiencies.
Please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term
Debt” and "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Obligations
Related to Finance Leases' for information with respect to major
encumbrances against our vessels.
Safety, Management of Ship Operations and
Administration
Safety and environmental compliance are our top operational
priorities. We operate our vessels in a manner intended to protect
the safety and health of our employees, and to minimize the impact
on the environment and society. We seek to effectively manage risk
in the organization using a three-tiered approach at an
operational, management and corporate level, designed to provide a
clear line of sight throughout the organization. All of our
operational employees receive training in the use of risk tools and
the management system. We also have an approved competency
management system in place to ensure our seafarers continue their
professional development and are competent before being promoted to
more senior roles.
We believe in continuous improvement, which has seen our safety and
environmental culture develop over a significant time period.
Health, Safety and Environmental Program milestones include the
roll-out of the Environmental Leadership Program (2005), Safety in
Action (2007), Quality Assurance and Training Officer Program
(2008), Operational Leadership - The Journey (2010), E-Colours
(2014), Significant Incident Potential (2015), Navigation Handbook
(2016), Risk Tool Handbook (2017), Safety Management System upgrade
(2018) and Fleet Training Officer (FTO) Program
(2021).
In addition, the Operational Leadership - The Journey booklet was
revised and relaunched in 2020. The booklet sets out our
operational expectations and responsibilities and contains our
safety, environmental, and leadership commitments and our Health,
Safety, Security and Environmental & Quality Assurance Policy,
which is signed by all employees and empowers them to work safely,
to live Teekay’s vision, and to look after one
another.
We, through certain of our subsidiaries, assist our operating
subsidiaries in managing their ship operations. All vessels are
operated under our comprehensive and integrated Safety Management
System that complies with the International Safety Management Code
(or
ISM Code),
the International Standards Organization’s (or
ISO)
9001 for Quality Assurance, ISO 14001 for Environment Management
Systems, ISO 45001 for Occupational Health and Safety Management
System and the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006). The
management system is certified by Det Norske Veritas (or
DNV),
the Norwegian classification society. It has also been separately
approved by the Australian flag administration. Although
certification is valid for five years, compliance with the
above-mentioned standards is confirmed on a yearly basis by a
rigorous auditing procedure that includes both internal audits as
well as external verification audits by DNV and certain flag
states.
Since 2010, we have produced a publicly available sustainability
report that reflects the efforts, achievements, results and
challenges faced by us and our affiliates relating to several key
related matters, including emissions, climate change, corporate
social responsibility, diversity and health, safety environment and
quality. We recognize the significance of ESG considerations and in
2020 set an ESG strategy foundation which is intended to direct our
efforts and performance in the years ahead. Our ESG strategy is
focused on three broad area: allocating capital to support the
global energy transition, operating our existing fleets as safely
and efficiently as possible, and further strengthening our ESG
profile. Annual targets are set for the organization and are
closely monitored. Our sustainability report is available on our
website, www.teekay.com. The information contained in our
sustainability report and on our website is not part of this Annual
Report.
We provide expertise in various functions critical to the
operations of our operating subsidiaries. We believe this
arrangement affords a safe, efficient and cost-effective operation.
Our subsidiaries also provide to us access to human resources,
financial and other administrative functions pursuant to
administrative services agreements.
Critical ship management functions undertaken by us
are:
•vessel
maintenance (including repairs and dry docking) and
certification;
•crewing
by competent seafarers;
•procurement
of stores, bunkers and spare parts;
•management
of emergencies and incidents;
•supervision
of shipyard and projects during new-building, conversions, lay up
and recycling;
•terminal
support;
•insurance;
and
•financial
management services.
These functions are supported by onboard and onshore systems for
maintenance, inventory, purchasing and budget
management.
Our day-to-day focus on cost efficiencies is applied to all aspects
of our operations. In 2003, Teekay Corporation and two other
shipping companies established a purchasing cooperation agreement
called the TBW Alliance, which leverages the purchasing power of
the combined fleets, mainly in such commodity areas as marine
lubricants, coatings and chemicals and gases.
Risk of Loss and Insurance
The operation of any ocean-going vessel or facility carries an
inherent risk of catastrophic marine disasters, death or injury of
persons and property losses caused by adverse weather conditions,
mechanical failures, human error, war, terrorism, piracy and other
circumstances or events. In addition, the transportation and
transfer/lightering of crude oil and petroleum products is subject
to the risk of spills and to business interruptions due to
political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities, labor
strikes, sanctions and boycotts, whether relating to us or any of
our joint venture partners, suppliers or customers. The occurrence
of any of these events may result in loss of revenues or increased
costs.
We carry hull and machinery (marine and war risks) and protection
and indemnity insurance coverage, and other liability insurance, to
protect against most of the accident-related risks involved in the
conduct of our business. Hull and machinery insurance covers loss
of or damage to a vessel due to marine perils such as collision,
grounding and weather. Protection and indemnity insurance
indemnifies us against other liabilities incurred while operating
vessels, including injury to our crew or third parties, cargo loss
and pollution. The current maximum amount of our coverage for
pollution is $1 billion per vessel per incident. We also carry
insurance policies covering war risks (including piracy and
terrorism).
We believe that our current insurance coverage is adequate to
protect against most of the accident-related risks involved in the
conduct of our business and that we maintain appropriate levels of
environmental damage and pollution insurance coverage. However, we
cannot guarantee that all covered risks are adequately insured
against, that any particular claim will be paid or that we will be
able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially
reasonable rates in the future. More stringent environmental
regulations have resulted in increased costs for, and may result in
the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of
environmental damage or pollution. In addition, the cost of
protection and indemnity insurance significantly increased during
2022 and is likely to continue to increase in 2023, and, in 2022,
the cost of hull and machinery increased due to increased fleet
values.
In our operations, we use a thorough risk management program that
includes, among other things, risk analysis tools, maintenance and
assessment programs, a seafarers' competence training program,
seafarers' workshops and membership in emergency response
organizations.
We have achieved certification under the standards reflected in ISO
9001 for quality assurance, ISO 14001 for environment management
systems, ISO 45001:2018, and the IMO’s International Management
Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention on a
fully integrated basis.
Operations Outside of the United States
Because our operations are primarily conducted outside of the
United States, we are affected by currency fluctuations, to the
extent we do not contract in U.S. dollars, and by changing
economic, political and governmental conditions in the countries
where we engage in business or where our vessels are registered.
Past political conflicts in those regions, particularly in the
Arabian Gulf, have included attacks on tankers, mining of waterways
and other efforts to disrupt shipping in the area. Vessels trading
in certain regions have also been subject to acts of piracy. In
addition to tankers, targets of terrorist attacks could include oil
pipelines, and offshore oil fields. The escalation of existing or
the outbreak of future, hostilities or other political instability
in regions where we operate could affect our trade patterns,
increase insurance costs, increase tanker operational costs and
otherwise adversely affect our operations and performance. In
addition, tariffs, trade embargoes, and other economic sanctions by
the United States or other countries against countries in the
Indo-Pacific Basin, Russia or elsewhere as a result of terrorist
attacks, Russia's invasion of Ukraine or other actions may limit
trading activities with those countries, which could also adversely
affect our operations and performance.
Customers
We have derived, and believe that we will continue to derive, a
significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of
customers. Our customers include major energy and utility
companies, major oil traders, large oil consumers and petroleum
product producers, government agencies, and various other entities
that depend upon marine transportation. No customer accounted for
over 10% of our consolidated revenues from continuing operations
during 2022, 2021 or 2020. The loss of any significant customer or
a substantial decline in the amount of services requested by a
significant customer, or the inability of a significant customer to
pay for our services, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Flag, Classification, Audits and Inspections
Our vessels are registered with reputable flag states, and the hull
and machinery of all of our vessels have been “Classed” by one of
the major classification societies and members of International
Association of Classification Societies ltd (or
IACS):
Bureau Veritas (or
BV),
Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, the American Bureau of Shipping or
DNV.
The applicable classification society certifies that the vessel’s
design and build conform to the applicable Class rules and meets
the requirements of the applicable rules and regulations of the
country of registry of the vessel and the international conventions
to which that country is a signatory. The classification society
also verifies throughout the vessel’s life that it continues to be
maintained in accordance with those rules. In order to validate
this, the vessels are surveyed by the classification society, in
accordance with the classification society rules, which in the case
of our vessels follows a comprehensive five-year special survey
cycle, renewed every fifth year. During each five-year period, the
vessel undergoes annual and intermediate surveys, the scrutiny and
intensity of which is primarily dictated by the age of the
vessel.
In addition to class surveys, the vessel’s flag state also verifies
the condition of the vessel during annual flag state inspections,
either independently or by additional authorization to class. Also,
port state authorities of a vessel’s port of call are authorized
under international conventions to undertake regular and spot
checks of vessels visiting their jurisdiction.
Processes followed onboard are audited by either the flag state or
the classification society acting on behalf of the flag state to
ensure that they meet the requirements of the ISM Code. DNV
typically carries out this task. We also follow an internal process
of internal audits undertaken annually at each office and
vessel.
We follow a comprehensive inspections scheme supported by our sea
staff, shore-based operational and technical specialists and
members of our Fleet Training Officer program. We typically carry
out a minimum of two such inspections annually, which helps ensure
that:
•our
vessels and operations adhere to our operating
standards;
•the
structural integrity of the vessel is being
maintained;
•machinery
and equipment are being maintained to give reliable
service;
•we
are optimizing performance in terms of speed and fuel consumption;
and
•our
vessels’ appearance supports our brand and meets customer
expectations.
Our customers also often carry out vetting inspections under the
Ship Inspection Report Program, which is a significant safety
initiative introduced by the Oil Companies International Marine
Forum to specifically address concerns about sub-standard vessels.
The inspection results permit charterers to screen a vessel to
ensure that it meets their general and specific risk-based shipping
requirements.
We believe that the heightened environmental and quality concerns
of insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers will generally
lead to greater scrutiny, inspection and safety requirements on all
vessels in the oil tanker market and will accelerate the scrapping
or phasing out of older vessels throughout the market.
Overall, we believe that our well-maintained and high-quality
vessels provide us with a competitive advantage in the current
environment of increasing regulation and customer emphasis on
quality of service.
Regulations
General
Our business and the operation of our vessels are significantly
affected by international conventions and national, state and local
laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which our vessels
operate, as well as in the country or countries of their
registration. Because these conventions, laws and regulations
change frequently, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of
compliance or their impact on the resale price or useful life of
our vessels. Additional conventions, laws, and regulations may be
adopted that could limit our ability to do business or increase the
cost of our doing business, and that may materially affect our
operations. We are required by various governmental and
quasi-governmental agencies to obtain permits, licenses, and
certificates with respect to our operations. Subject to the
discussion below and to the fact that the kinds of permits,
licenses and certificates required for the operations of the
vessels we own will depend on a number of factors, we believe that
we will be able to continue to obtain all permits, licenses and
certificates material to the conduct of our
operations.
International Maritime Organization
The IMO is the United Nations’ agency for maritime safety and
prevention of pollution. IMO regulations relating to pollution
prevention for oil tankers have been adopted by many of the
jurisdictions in which our tanker fleet operates. Under IMO
regulations and subject to limited exceptions, a tanker must be of
double-hull construction in accordance with the requirements set
out in these regulations or be of another approved design ensuring
the same level of protection against oil pollution. All of our
tankers are double-hulled.
Many countries, but not the United States, have ratified and follow
the liability regime adopted by the IMO and set out in the
International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution
Damage, 1969, as amended (or
CLC).
Under this convention, a vessel’s registered owner is strictly
liable for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a
contracting state by discharge of persistent oil (e.g., crude oil,
fuel oil, heavy diesel oil or lubricating oil), subject to certain
defenses. The right to limit liability to specified amounts that
are periodically revised is forfeited under the CLC when the spill
is caused by the owner’s actual fault or when the spill is caused
by the owner’s intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading to
contracting states must provide evidence of insurance covering the
limited liability of the owner. In jurisdictions where the CLC has
not been adopted, various legislative regimes or common law
governs, and liability is imposed either on the basis of fault or
in a manner similar to the CLC.
IMO regulations also include the International Convention for
Safety of Life at Sea (or
SOLAS),
including amendments to SOLAS implementing the International Ship
and Port Facility Security Code (or
ISPS),
the ISM Code and the International Convention on Load Lines of
1966. SOLAS provides rules for the construction of and the
equipment required for commercial vessels and includes regulations
for their safe operation. Flag states which have ratified the
convention and the treaty generally employ the classification
societies, which have incorporated SOLAS requirements into their
class rules, to undertake surveys to confirm
compliance.
SOLAS and other IMO regulations concerning safety, including those
relating to treaties on the training of shipboard personnel,
lifesaving appliances, navigation, radio equipment and the global
maritime distress and safety system, are applicable to our
operations. Non-compliance with IMO regulations, including SOLAS,
the ISM Code and ISPS Code may subject us to increased liability or
penalties, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage
for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to or
detention in some ports. For example, the United States Coast Guard
(or
USCG)
and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in
compliance with the ISM Code will be prohibited from trading in the
United States and European Union ports. The ISM Code requires
vessel operators to obtain a safety management certification for
each vessel they manage, evidencing the shipowner’s development and
maintenance of an extensive safety management system. Each of the
existing vessels in our fleet is currently ISM Code-certified, and
we obtain, a safety management certificate for each newbuilding on
delivery.
Annex VI to the IMO’s International Convention for the Prevention
of Pollution from Ships (or
MARPOL)
(or
Annex VI)
sets limits on sulfur oxide (or
SOx)
and nitrogen oxide (or
NOx)
emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits emissions of ozone
depleting substances, emissions of volatile compounds from cargo
tanks and the incineration of specific substances. Annex VI also
includes a world-wide cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and
allows for special “emission control areas” (or
ECAs)
to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions.
Annex VI provides for a three-tier reduction in NOx emissions from
marine diesel engines, with the final tier (or
Tier III)
to apply to engines installed on vessels constructed on or after
January 1, 2016, and which operate in the North American ECA or the
U.S. Caribbean Sea ECA as well as ECAs designated in the future by
the IMO. Tier III limits are 80% below Tier I and these cannot be
achieved without additional means such as Selective Catalytic
Reduction (or
SCR).
In October 2016, the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee
(or
MEPC)
approved the designation of the North Sea (including the English
Channel) and the Baltic Sea as ECAs for NOx emissions; these ECAs
and the related amendments to Annex VI of MARPOL (with some
exceptions) entered into effect on January 1,
2019.
This requirement is applicable to new ships constructed on or after
January 1, 2021 if they visit the Baltic or North Sea (including
the English Channel) and requires the future trading area of a ship
to be assessed at the contract stage. There are exemption
provisions to allow ships with only Tier II engines, to navigate in
a NOx Tier III ECA if the ship is departing from a shipyard where
the ship is newly built or visiting a shipyard for
conversion/repair/maintenance without loading/unloading
cargoes.
Effective January 1, 2020, Annex VI imposes a global limit for
sulfur in fuel oil used on board ships of 0.50% m/m (mass by mass),
regardless of whether a ship is operating outside a designated ECA.
The ECA limit of 0.10% will still apply, as will any applicable
local regulations. Effective March 1, 2020, the carriage of
non-compliant fuel is prohibited. To comply with the 2020 global
sulfur limit for fuel, ships must utilize different fuels
containing low or very low sulfur (e.g., low sulfur fuel oil
(or
LSFO),
very low sulfur fuel oil (or
VLSFO),
low sulfur marine gas oil (or
LSMGO),
biofuels or other compliant fuels such as LNG), or utilize exhaust
gas cleaning systems, known as “scrubbers”. Amendments to the
information to be included in bunker delivery notes relating to the
supply of marine fuel oil to ships fitted with alternative
mechanisms to address sulfur emission requirements (e.g.,
scrubbers) became effective January 1, 2019.
We have implemented procedures to comply with the Annex VI sulfur
limit in our conventional tanker fleet and switched to burning
compliant low sulfur fuel before the January 1, 2020 implementation
date; however, with the exception of one vessel owned through a
50/50 joint venture, we have not installed any scrubbers on our
fleet. Although the IMO has issued ISO 8217:2017 and PAS 23263:19,
at present, neither the IMO nor the International Organization for
Standardization has implemented globally accepted quality standards
for 0.50% m/m fuel oil; however, a new specification for very low
sulfur fuel oil is expected to be released in the coming years. The
bunker market currently uses the specification for RMG 380 grade
fuel oil with a maximum sulfur content of 0.50% m/m as an interim
standard. We intend, and where applicable, expect our charterers to
procure 0.50% m/m fuel oil from top tier suppliers. However, until
such time that a globally accepted quality standard is issued, the
quality of 0.50% m/m fuel oil that is supplied to the entire
industry (including in respect of our vessels) is inherently
uncertain. Low quality or a lack of access to high-quality low
sulfur fuel may lead to a disruption in our operations (including
mechanical damage to our vessels), which could impact our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
As of March 1, 2018, amendments to Annex VI impose requirements for
ships of 5,000 gross tonnage and above to collect fuel oil
consumption data for ships, as well as certain other data including
proxies for transport work. Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI that make
the data collection system for fuel oil consumption of ships
mandatory were adopted at the 70th
session of the MEPC held in October 2016 and entered into force on
March 1, 2018. The amendments require operators to update the
vessels' Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (or
SEEMP)
to include a part II describing the ship-specific methodology that
will be used for collecting and measuring data for fuel oil
consumption, distance travelled, hours underway, ensuring data
quality is maintained and the processes that will be used to report
the data to the Flag State Administration. This has been verified
as compliant on all ships for calendar years 2019 through 2021. A
confirmation of Compliance has been provided by the Ship's Flag
State Administration / Recognized Organization on behalf of Flag
State and is kept on board. Data collection for 2022 is in progress
and will be submitted to authorized verifiers for confirmation. The
process is expected to be completed by the end of April
2023.
IMO regulations required that as of January 1, 2015, all
vessels operating within ECAs worldwide recognized under MARPOL
Annex VI must comply with 0.1% sulfur requirements. Certain
modifications were necessary in order to optimize operation on
LSMGO of equipment originally designed to operate on Heavy Fuel Oil
(or
HFO),
and to ensure our compliance with the EU Directive. In addition,
LSMGO is more expensive than HFO, and this impacts the costs of
operations. We are primarily exposed to increased fuel costs
through our spot trading vessels, although our competitors bear a
similar cost increase as this is a regulatory item applicable to
all vessels. All required vessels in our fleet trading to and
within regulated low sulfur areas are able to comply with
applicable fuel requirements.
The IMO has issued guidance regarding protecting against acts of
piracy off the coast of Somalia. We comply with these
guidelines.
IMO Guidance for countering acts of piracy and armed robbery is
published by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (or
MSC).
MSC.1/Circ.1339 (Piracy and armed robbery against ships in waters
off the coast of Somalia) outlines Best Management Practices for
protection against Somalia based Piracy. Specifically,
MSC.1/Circ.1339 provides guidance to shipowners and ship operators,
shipmasters, and crews on preventing and suppressing acts of piracy
and armed robbery and was adopted by the IMO through
Resolution MSC.324(89). The Best Management Practices (or
BMP)
is a joint industry publication by BIMCO, ICS, IGP&I Clubs,
INTERTANKO and OCIMF VIQ Version 7 as the latest. Our fleet follows
the guidance within BMP 5 when transiting in other regions with
recognized threat levels for piracy and armed robbery, including
West Africa.
The IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention entered into force on
September 8, 2017. The convention stipulates two standards for
discharged ballast water. The D-1 standard covers ballast water
exchange while the D-2 standard covers ballast water treatment. The
convention requires the implementation of either the D-1 or D-2
standard. There will be a transitional period from the entry into
force to the International Oil Pollution Prevention (or
IOPP)
renewal survey in which ballast water exchange (reg. D-1) can be
employed. The IMO’s MEPC agreed to a compromise on the
implementation dates for the D-2 discharge standard: ships
constructed on or after September 8, 2017 must comply with the D-2
standard upon delivery. Existing ships should be D-2 compliant on
the first IOPP renewal following entry into force if the survey is
completed on or after September 8, 2019, or a renewal IOPP survey
was completed on or after September 8, 2014 but prior to September
8, 2017. Ships should be D-2 compliant on the second IOPP renewal
survey after September 8, 2017 if the first renewal survey after
that date was completed prior to September 8, 2019 and if the
previous two conditions are not met. Vessels will be required to
meet the discharge standard D-2 by installing an approved
BWTS.
Besides the IMO convention, ships sailing in U.S. waters are
required to employ a type approved BWTS which is compliant with
USCG regulations. The USCG has approved several BWTS both
nationally and internationally, out of which Sunrui Systems (China)
are under Teekay’s approved list for retrofit. We estimate that the
installation of an approved BWTS will cost approximately $1.2
million per vessel between the years 2023 and 2024. As at December
31, 2022, we have installed BWTS on 33 vessels in our
fleet.
MARPOL Annex I also states that oil residue may be discharged
directly from the sludge tank to the shore reception
facility through standard discharge connections. They may
also be discharged to the incinerator or to an auxiliary boiler
suitable for burning the oil by means of a dedicated discharge
pump. Amendments to Annex I expand on the requirements for
discharge connections and piping to ensure residues are properly
disposed of. Annex I is applicable to existing vessels with a first
renewal survey beginning on or after January 1,
2017.
Amendments to MARPOL Annex V were adopted at the 70th session of
the MEPC held in October 2016 and entered into force on March 1,
2018. The changes include criteria for determining whether cargo
residues are harmful to the marine environment and a new Garbage
Record Book (or
GRB)
format with a new garbage category for e-waste. Solid bulk cargo as
per regulation VI/1-1.2 of SOLAS, other than grain, is now
classified as per the criteria in the new Appendix I of MARPOL
Annex V,
and the shipper then declares whether or not the cargo is harmful
to the marine environment. A new form of the GRB has been included
in Appendix II to MAROL Annex V. The GRB is now divided into two
parts: Part I - for all garbage other than cargo residues,
applicable to all ships. PART II - for cargo residues only
applicable to ships carrying solid bulk cargo. These changes are
reflected in the vessels latest revised GRB.
MSC 91 adopted amendments to SOLAS Regulation II-2/10 to clarify
that a minimum of two two-way portable radiotelephone apparatuses
for each fire party for firefighters' communication shall be
carried on board. These radio devices shall be of explosion
proof type or intrinsically safe type. All existing ships built
before July 1, 2014 must comply with this requirement by the
first safety equipment survey after July 1, 2018. All new vessels
constructed (keel laid) on or after July 1, 2014 must comply with
this requirement at the time of delivery. Amendments to SOLAS
Regulation II-1/3/-12 on protection against noise, Regulation
II-2/1 and II 2/10 on firefighting came into force on July 1, 2014.
Existing ships built before July 1, 2014 were required to comply by
July 1, 2019.
MSC. 338(91) highlighted requirements for audio and visual
indicators for breathing apparatuses which alert the user before
the volume of air in the cylinder has been reduced to no less than
200 liters. This applies to ships constructed on or after July 1,
2014. Ships constructed before July 1, 2014 were required to comply
no later than July 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2021, all of our
vessels are in compliance with these requirements.
Cyber-related risks are operational risks that are appropriately
assessed and managed in accordance with the safety management
requirements of the ISM Code. Cyber risks are required to be
appropriately addressed in our safety management system no later
than the first annual verification of our Document of Compliance
after January 1, 2021. The annual verification audit of our
Document of Compliance was completed on June 9, 2022 and confirmed
that cyber risks are appropriately addressed in accordance with ISM
standards in the Company's safety management system.
The Maritime Labour Convention (or
MLC)
2006 was adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 94th
(Maritime) Session (2006), establishing minimum working and living
conditions
for
seafarers. The convention entered into force August 20, 2013, with
further amendments approved by the International Labour Conference
at its 103rd Session (2014). The MLC establishes a single, coherent
instrument embodying all up-to-date standards of existing
international maritime labor conventions and recommendations, as
well as the fundamental principles to be found in other
international labor conventions. All of our maritime labor
contracts comply with the MLC.
The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations and as
such, it is difficult to predict what additional requirements, if
any, may be adopted by the IMO and what effect, if any, such
regulations might have on our operations.
European Union (or EU)
The EU has adopted legislation that: bans from European waters
manifestly sub-standard vessels (defined as vessels that have been
detained twice by EU port authorities in the preceding two years);
creates obligations on the part of EU member port states to inspect
minimum percentages of vessels using these ports annually; provides
for increased surveillance of vessels posing a high risk to
maritime safety or the marine environment; and provides the EU with
greater authority and control over classification societies,
including the ability to seek to suspend or revoke the authority of
negligent societies.
Two regulations that are part of the implementation of the Port
State Control Directive came into force on January 1, 2011 and
introduced a ranking system (published on a public website and
updated daily) displaying shipping companies operating in the EU
with the worst safety records. The ranking is judged upon the
results of the technical inspections carried out on the vessels
owned by a particular shipping company. Those shipping companies
that have the most positive safety records are rewarded by
subjecting them to fewer inspections, while those with the most
safety shortcomings or technical failings recorded upon inspection
will in turn be subject to a greater frequency of official
inspections to their vessels.
The EU has, by way of Directive 2005/35/EC, as amended by Directive
2009/123/EC, created a legal framework for imposing criminal
penalties in the event of discharges of oil and other noxious
substances from ships sailing in its waters, irrespective of their
flag. This relates to discharges of oil or other noxious substances
from vessels. Minor discharges shall not automatically be
considered as offenses, except where repetition leads to
deterioration in the quality of the water. The persons responsible
may be subject to criminal penalties if they have acted with
intent, recklessly or with serious negligence and the act of
inciting, aiding and abetting a person to discharge a polluting
substance may also lead to criminal penalties.
The EU adopted a Directive requiring the use of low sulfur fuel.
Since January 1, 2015, vessels have been required to burn fuel
with sulfur content not exceeding 0.1% while within EU member
states’ territorial seas, exclusive economic zones and pollution
control zones that are included in SOX Emission Control Areas.
Other jurisdictions have also adopted similar
regulations.
All ships above 5,000 gross tonnage calling EU waters are required
to comply with EU-MRV regulations. These regulations came into
force on July 1, 2015 and aim to reduce greenhouse gas (or
GHG)
emissions within the EU. It requires ships carrying out maritime
transport activities to or from European Economic Area (or
EEA)
ports to monitor and report information including verified data on
their carbon dioxide (or CO2) emissions from January 1, 2018
onwards. Data collection takes place on a per voyage basis and
started from January 1, 2018. The reported CO2 emissions, together
with additional data (e.g., cargo, energy efficiency parameters),
are to be verified by independent verifiers and sent to a central
database, managed by the European Maritime Safety Agency (or
EMSA).
We entered into an agreement with DNV for monitoring, verification
and reporting as required by this regulation. The reporting period
for the 2022 calendar year has been completed and emission reports
for the vessels which have carried out EU voyages have been
submitted in the THETIS Database. The review is expected to be
completed by the end of April 2023. Based on emission reports
submitted in THETIS, a document of compliance has been issued and
is placed on board.
The EU Ship Recycling Regulation was adopted in 2013. This
regulation aims to prevent, reduce and minimize accidents, injuries
and other negative effects on human health and the environment when
ships are recycled and the hazardous waste they contain is removed.
The legislation applies to all ships flying the flag of an EU
country and to vessels with non-EU flags that call at an EU port or
anchorage. It sets out responsibilities for ship owners and for
recycling facilities both in the EU and in other countries. Each
new ship is required to have on board an inventory of the hazardous
materials (such as asbestos, lead or mercury) it contains in either
its structure or equipment. The use of certain hazardous materials
is forbidden. Before a ship is recycled, its owner must provide the
company carrying out the work with specific information about the
vessel and prepare a ship recycling plan. Recycling may only take
place at facilities listed on the EU ‘List of
facilities’.
The EU Ship Recycling Regulation generally entered into force on
December 31, 2018, with certain provisions applicable from December
31, 2020. Compliance timelines are as follows: EU-flagged
newbuildings were required to have onboard a verified Inventory of
Hazardous Materials (or
IHM)
with a Statement of Compliance by December 31, 2018, existing
EU-flagged vessels are required to have onboard a verified IHM with
a Statement of Compliance by December 31, 2020, and non-EU-flagged
vessels calling at EU ports are also required to have onboard a
verified IHM with a Statement of Compliance by December 31, 2020.
Teekay Tankers contracted with a class-approved hazardous material
expert company to assist in the preparation of Inventory of
Hazardous Materials and obtaining Statements of Compliance for its
vessels. The EU Commission also adopted a European List of approved
ship recycling facilities, as well as four further decisions
dealing with certification and other administrative requirements
set out in the EU Ship Recycling Regulation.
In 2014, the Council Decision 2014/241/EU authorized EU countries
having ships flying their flag or registered under their flag to
ratify or to accede to the Hong Kong International Convention for
the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. The Hong
Kong Convention is not yet ratified. As of December 31, 2022, four
of our vessels had not completed the IHM compliance process, which
we expect will occur in 2023.
United States
The United States has enacted an extensive regulatory and liability
regime for the protection and clean-up of the environment from oil
spills, including discharges of oil cargoes, bunker fuels or
lubricants, primarily through the
OPA 90
and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act (or
CERCLA).
OPA 90 affects all owners, bareboat charterers, and operators whose
vessels trade to the United States or its territories or
possessions or whose vessels operate in United States waters, which
include the U.S. territorial sea and the 200-mile exclusive
economic zone around the United States. CERCLA applies to the
discharge of “hazardous substances” rather than “oil” and imposes
strict joint and several liability upon the owners, operators or
bareboat charterers of vessels for clean-up costs and damages
arising from discharges of hazardous substances. We believe that
petroleum products should not be considered hazardous substances
under CERCLA, but additives to oil or lubricants used on other
vessels might fall within its scope.
Under OPA 90, vessel owners, operators and bareboat charterers are
“responsible parties” and are jointly, severally, and strictly
liable (unless the oil spill results solely from the act or
omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war and the
responsible party reports the incident and reasonably cooperates
with the appropriate authorities) for all containment and clean-up
costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened
discharges of oil from their vessels. These other damages are
defined broadly to include: natural resources damages and the
related assessment costs; real and personal property damages; net
loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees and other lost revenues; lost
profits or impairment of earning capacity due to property or
natural resources damage; net cost of public services necessitated
by a spill response, such as protection from fire, safety or health
hazards; and loss of subsistence use of natural
resources.
OPA 90 limits the liability of responsible parties in an amount it
periodically updates. The liability limits do not apply if the
incident was proximately caused by a violation of applicable U.S.
federal safety, construction or operating regulations, including
IMO conventions to which the United States is a signatory, or by
the responsible party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or
to cooperate and assist in connection with the oil removal
activities. Liability under CERCLA is also subject to limits unless
the incident is caused by gross negligence, willful misconduct, or
a violation of certain regulations. We currently maintain for each
of our vessels pollution liability coverage in the maximum coverage
amount of $1 billion per incident. A catastrophic spill could
exceed the coverage available, which could harm our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
Under OPA 90, with limited exceptions, all newly built or converted
tankers delivered after January 1, 1994 and operating in U.S.
waters must be double-hulled. All of our tankers are
double-hulled.
OPA 90 also requires owners and operators of vessels to establish
and maintain with the USCG evidence of financial responsibility in
an amount at least equal to the relevant limitation amount for such
vessels under the statute. The USCG has implemented regulations
requiring that an owner or operator of a fleet of vessels must
demonstrate evidence of financial responsibility in an amount
sufficient to cover the vessel in the fleet having the greatest
maximum limited liability under OPA 90 and CERCLA. Evidence of
financial responsibility may be demonstrated by insurance, surety
bond, self-insurance, guaranty or an alternate method subject to
approval by the USCG. Under the self-insurance provisions, the ship
owners or operators must have a net worth and working capital,
measured in assets located in the United States against liabilities
located anywhere in the world, that exceeds the applicable amount
of financial responsibility. We have complied with the USCG
regulations by using self-insurance for certain vessels and
obtaining financial guaranties from a third party for the remaining
vessels. If other vessels in our fleet trade into the United States
in the future, we expect to obtain guaranties from third-party
insurers.
OPA 90 and CERCLA permit individual U.S. states to impose their own
liability regimes with regard to oil or hazardous substance
pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries, and some
states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited strict
liability for spills. Several coastal states, such as California,
Washington and Alaska require state-specific evidence of financial
responsibility and vessel response plans. We intend to comply with
all applicable state regulations in the ports where our vessels
call.
Owners or operators of vessels, including tankers operating in U.S.
waters, are required to file vessel response plans with the USCG,
and their tankers are required to operate in compliance with USCG
approved plans. Such response plans must, among other things:
address a “worst case” scenario and identify and ensure, through
contract or other approved means, the availability of necessary
private response resources to respond to a “worst case discharge”;
describe crew training and drills; and identify a qualified
individual with full authority to implement removal
actions.
All our vessels have USCG approved vessel response plans. In
addition, we conduct regular oil spill response drills in
accordance with the guidelines set out in OPA 90. The USCG has
announced it intends to propose similar regulations requiring
certain vessels to prepare response plans for the release of
hazardous substances. Similarly, we also have California Vessel
Contingency Plans on board vessels which are likely to call ports
in the State of California.
OPA 90 and CERCLA do not preclude claimants from seeking damages
resulting from the discharge of oil and hazardous substances under
other applicable law, including maritime tort law. The application
of this doctrine varies by jurisdiction.
The U.S. Clean Water Act (or the
Clean Water Act)
also prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous substances in U.S.
navigable waters and imposes strict liability in the form of
penalties for unauthorized discharges. The Clean Water Act imposes
substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and
damages and complements the remedies available under OPA 90
and CERCLA discussed above.
Our vessels that discharge certain effluents, including ballast
water, in U.S. waters must obtain a Clean Water Act permit from the
Environmental Protection Agency (or
EPA)
titled the “Vessel General Permit” (or
VGP)
and comply with a range of effluent limitations, best management
practices, reporting, inspections and other requirements. The
Vessel General Permit incorporated USCG requirements for ballast
water exchange and includes specific technology-based requirements
for vessels, as well as an implementation schedule to require
vessels to meet the ballast water effluent limitations by the first
dry docking after January 1, 2016, depending on the vessel
size.
On December 4, 2018, the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (or
VIDA)
came into effect under the Clean Water Act. The VIDA restructures
the way the EPA and the USCG regulate discharges incidental to the
normal operation of a vessel when operating as a means of
transportation. In most cases, the future standards will be at
least as stringent as the existing EPA 2013 VGP requirements and
will be technology-based. Two years after the EPA publishes the
final Vessel Incidental Discharge National Standards of
Performance, the USCG is required to develop corresponding
implementation, compliance, and enforcement regulations for those
standards, including any requirements governing the design,
construction, testing, approval, installation, and use of devices
necessary to achieve the EPA standards. Vessels that are
constructed after December 1, 2013, are subject to the ballast
water numeric effluent limitations. Several U.S. states have added
specific requirements to the VGP and, in some cases, may require
vessels to install ballast water treatment technology to meet
biological performance standards. Every five years the VGP gets
reissued, however, all management, inspection, monitoring, and
reporting requirements of the 2013 VGP remain in effect for vessels
operating in US waters until the USCG and EPA finalizes new
regulations, in accordance with the VIDA to replace the 2013 VGP.
Final rules are not expected for another 2-3 years.
On October 26, 2020, the EPA’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking –
Vessel Incidental Discharge National Standards of Performance – was
published in the Federal Register for public comment. The proposed
rule will reduce the environmental impact of discharges, such as
ballast water, that are incidental to the normal operation of
commercial vessels. When finalized, this new rule will streamline
the current patchwork of federal, state, and local requirements
that apply to the commercial vessel community and better protect
U.S. waters.
Various states in the United States, including California, have
implemented additional regulations relating to the environment and
operation of vessels. The California Biofouling Management Plan
requires vessels to have a Biofouling Management Plan and maintain
a Biofouling Record Book. In addition, it requires mandatory
biofouling management of the vessel’s wetted surfaces and mandatory
biofouling management for vessels that undergo an extended
residency period (e.g., remain in the same location for 45 or more
days). Finally, it also requires the mandatory submission of a
Marine Invasive Species Program Annual Vessel Reporting Form (MISP
- AVRF) by the vessel at least 24 hours in advance of the first
arrival of each calendar year at a California port. The regulation
applied to new vessels delivered after January 1, 2018 and existing
vessels after the first quarterly scheduled dry dock after January
1, 2018.
China
China previously established ECAs in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze
River Delta and Bohai Sea, which took effect on January 1, 2016.
The Hainan ECA took effect on January 1, 2019. From January 1,
2019, all the ECAs have merged, and the scope of Domestic Emission
Controls Areas (or
DECAs)
were extended to 12 nautical miles from the coastline, covering the
Chinese mainland territorial coastal areas as well as the Hainan
Island territorial coastal waters. From January 1, 2019, all
vessels navigating within the Chinese mainland territorial coastal
DECAs and at berths are required to use marine fuel with a sulfur
content of maximum 0.50% m/m. As per the new regulation, ships can
also use alternative methods such as an Exhaust Gas Scrubber, LNG
or other clean fuel that reduces the SOx to the same level or lower
than the maximum required limits of sulfur when using fossil fuel
in the DECA areas or when at berth. All the vessels without an
exhaust gas cleaning system entering the emission control area are
only permitted to carry and use the compliant fuel oil specified by
the new regulation.
From July 1, 2019, vessels engaged on international voyages (except
tankers) that are equipped to connect to shore power must use shore
power if they berth for more than three hours (or for more than two
hours for inland river control areas) in berths with shore supply
capacity in the coastal control areas.
From January 1, 2020, all vessels navigating within the Chinese
mainland territorial coastal DECAs should use marine fuel with a
maximum 0.5% m/m sulfur cap. All the vessels entering China inland
waterway emission control areas are to use fuel oil with a sulfur
content not exceeding 0.1% m/m. Any vessel using or carrying
non-compliant fuel oil due to the non-availability of compliant
fuel oil is to submit a fuel oil non-availability report to the
China Maritime Safety Administration (or
CMSA)
of the next arrival port before entering waters under the
jurisdiction of China.
From March 1, 2020, all vessels entering waters under the
jurisdiction of the People’s Republic of China are prohibited to
carry fuel oil of sulfur content exceeding 0.50% m/m on board
ships. Any vessel carrying non-compliant fuel oil in the waters
under the jurisdiction of China is to:
•discharge
the non-compliant fuel oil; or
•as
permitted by the CMSA of the calling port, to retain the
non-compliant fuel oil on board with a commitment letter stating it
will not be used in waters under the jurisdiction of
China.
New Zealand
New Zealand's Craft Risk Management Standard (or
CRMS)
requirements are based on the IMO's guidelines for the control and
management of ships' biofouling to minimize the transfer of
invasive aquatic species.
Marine pests and diseases brought in on vessel hulls (or
biofouling) are a threat to New Zealand's marine resources. From
May 15, 2018, all vessels arriving in New Zealand need to have a
clean hull. Vessels staying up to 20 days and only visiting
designated ports (places of first arrival) are allowed a slight
amount of biofouling. Vessels staying longer and visiting other
places will only be allowed a slime layer and goose
barnacles.
Republic of Korea
The Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced an air
quality control program that defines selected South Korean ports
and areas as ECAs. The ECAs cover Korea’s five major port areas:
Incheon, Pyeongtaek & Dangjin, Yeosu & Gwangyang, Busan and
Ulsan. From September 1, 2020, ships at berth or at anchor in the
new Korean ECAs must burn fuel with a maximum sulfur content of
0.10%. Ships must switch to compliant fuel within one hour of
mooring/anchoring and burn compliant fuel until not more than one
hour before departure. From January 1, 2022, the requirements have
been expanded, and the 0.10% sulfur limit will apply at all times
while operating within the ECAs.
A Vessel Speed Reduction Program has also been introduced as a part
of an air quality control program on a voluntary compliance basis
to certain types of ships (crude, chemical and LNG carriers)
calling at the ports of Busan, Ulsan, Yeosu, Gwangyang and
Incheon.
India
On October 2, 2019, the Government of India urged its citizens and
government agencies to take steps towards phasing out single-use
plastics (or
SUP).
As a result, all shipping participants operating in Indian waters
are required to contribute to the Indian government’s goal of
phasing out SUPs.
The Directorate General of Shipping, India (or
DGS)
has mandated certain policies as a result, and in order to comply
with these required policies, all cargo vessels are required as of
January 31, 2020 to prepare a vessel-specific Ship Execution Plan
(or
SEP)
detailing the inventory of all SUP used on board the vessel and
which has not been exempted by the DGS. This SEP will be reviewed
to determine the prohibition of SUP on the subject
vessel.
Vessels will be allowed to use an additional 10% of SUP items in
the SEP that have not been prohibited. Amendments to the finalized
SEP are discouraged save for material corrections.
Foreign vessels visiting Indian ports are not allowed to use
prohibited items while at a place or port in India. However, these
items are allowed to be on board provided they are stored at
identified locations. SEPs are also required to detail the
prevention steps that will be implemented during a vessel’s call at
an Indian port to prevent unsanctioned usage of SUPs. This includes
the preparation and use of a deck and official log entry
identifying all SUP items on board the vessel.
Greenhouse Gas Regulation
In February 2005, the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (or the
Kyoto Protocol)
took effect. Pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol, adopting countries are
required to implement national programs to reduce emissions of
greenhouse gases. In December 2009, more than 27 nations, including
the United States, entered into the Copenhagen Accord. The
Copenhagen Accord is non-binding but is intended to pave the way
for a comprehensive, international treaty on climate change. In
December 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted by a large number of
countries at the 21st Session of the Conference of Parties
(commonly known as COP 21, a conference of the countries which are
parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change; the COP is the highest decision-making authority of this
organization). The Paris Agreement, which entered into force on
November 4, 2016, deals with greenhouse gas emission reduction
measures and targets from 2020 in order to limit the global
temperature increases to well below 2˚ Celsius above pre-industrial
levels. Although shipping was ultimately not included in the Paris
Agreement, it is expected that the adoption of the Paris Agreement
may lead to regulatory changes in relation to curbing greenhouse
gas emissions from shipping.
In July 2011, the IMO adopted regulations imposing technical and
operational measures for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
These new regulations formed a new chapter in MARPOL Annex VI and
became effective on January 1, 2013. The new technical and
operational measures include the “Energy Efficiency Design Index”
(or the
EEDI),
which is mandatory for newbuilding vessels, and the “Ship Energy
Efficiency Management Plan,” which is mandatory for all vessels. In
October 2016, the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee
(or
MEPC)
adopted updated guidelines for the calculation of the EEDI. In
October 2014, the IMO’s MEPC agreed in principle to develop a
system of data collection regarding fuel consumption of ships. In
October 2016, the IMO adopted a mandatory data collection system
under which vessels of 5,000 gross tonnages and above are to
collect fuel consumption and other data and to report the
aggregated data so collected to their flag state at the end of each
calendar year. The new requirements entered into force on March 1,
2018.
All vessels are required to submit fuel consumption data to their
respective administration/registered organizations for onward
submission to the IMO for analysis and to help with decision making
on future measures. The amendments require operators to update the
vessel's SEEMP to include descriptions of the ship-specific
methodology that will be used for collecting and measuring data for
fuel oil consumption, distance travelled, hours underway and
processes that will be used to report the data to the Flag State
Administration, in order to ensure data quality is
maintained.
All of our vessels were verified as being compliant before December
31, 2018, with the first data collection period being for the 2019
calendar year. A Confirmation of Compliance was issued by the
administration/registered organization, which must be kept on board
the ship. The IMO also approved a roadmap for the development of a
comprehensive IMO strategy on the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions from ships with an initial strategy adopted on April 13,
2018 and a revised strategy to be adopted in
2023.
Further, the MEPC adopted two other sets of amendments
to
MARPOL Annex VI related to carbon intensity regulations. The MEPC
agreed on combining the technical and operational measures with an
entry into force date on January 1, 2023. The Energy Efficiency
Existing Ships Index (or
EEXI)
will be implemented for existing ships as a technical measure to
reduce CO2 emissions. The Carbon Intensity Index (or
CII)
will be implemented as an operational carbon intensity measure to
benchmark and improve efficiency.
Regulations and frameworks are expected to be fully defined at the
next MEPC meeting in June 2023. For Teekay vessels, we have
calculated the EEXI and Engine Power Limiter (or
EPL)
values for our vessels. Further, we are looking at different ways
to optimize the emissions either through the use of low friction
paints during docking or installing energy saving devices on board
our vessels, such as Mewis ducts.
The EU has also proposed an expansion of an existing EU emissions
trading regime to include emissions of greenhouse gases from
vessels, and individual countries in the EU may impose additional
requirements. The EU has adopted Regulation (EU) 2015/757 on the
monitoring, reporting and verification (or
MRV)
of CO2 emissions from vessels (or the
MRV Regulation),
which entered into force on July 1, 2015. The MRV Regulation
aims to quantify and reduce CO2 emissions from shipping. It lists
the requirements on the MRV of carbon dioxide emissions and
requires ship owners and operators to annually monitor, report and
verify CO2 emissions for vessels larger than 5,000 gross tonnage
calling at any EU and EFTA (Norway and Iceland) port (with a few
exceptions, such as fish-catching or fish-processing vessels). Data
collection takes place on a per voyage basis and started on January
1, 2018. The reported CO2 emissions, together with additional data,
such as cargo and energy efficiency parameters, are to be verified
by independent verifiers and sent to a central inspection database
hosted by the European Maritime Safety Agency to collate all the
data applicable to the EU region. Companies responsible for the
operation of large ships using EU ports are required to report
their CO2 emissions. While the EU was considering a proposal for
the inclusion of shipping in the EU Emissions Trading System as
from 2023 (in the absence of a comparable system operating under
the IMO), it appears that the decision to include shipping may be
deferred until 2024.
In the United States, the EPA issued an “endangerment finding”
regarding greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. While this
finding in itself does not impose any requirements on our industry,
it authorizes the EPA to regulate GHG emissions directly through a
rule-making process. In addition, climate change initiatives are
being considered in the United States Congress and by individual
states. Any passage of new climate control legislation or other
regulatory initiatives by the IMO, EU, the United States or other
countries or states where we operate that restrict emissions of
greenhouse gases could have a significant financial and operational
impact on our business that we cannot predict with certainty at
this time.
Many financial institutions that lend to the maritime industry have
adopted the Poseidon Principles, which establish a framework for
assessing and disclosing the climate alignment of ship finance
portfolios. The Poseidon Principles set a benchmark for the banks
who fund the maritime sector, which is based on the IMO GHG
strategy. The IMO approved an initial GHG strategy in April 2018 to
reduce GHG emissions generated from shipping activity, which
represents a significant shift in climate ambition for a sector
that currently accounts for 2%-3% of global carbon dioxide
emissions. As a result, the Poseidon Principles are expected to
enable financial institutions to align their ship finance
portfolios with responsible environmental behavior and incentivize
international shipping's decarbonization.
Vessel Security
The ISPS was adopted by the IMO in December 2002 in the wake of
heightened concern over worldwide terrorism and became effective on
July 1, 2004. The objective of ISPS is to enhance maritime
security by detecting security threats to ships and ports and by
requiring the development of security plans and other measures
designed to prevent such threats. Each of the existing vessels in
our fleet currently complies with the requirements of ISPS and the
Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (U.S. specific
requirements). Procedures are in place to inform the relevant
reporting regimes such as Maritime Security Council Horn of Africa,
the Maritime Domain Awareness for Trade - Gulf of Guinea, the
Information Fusion Center whenever our vessels are calling in the
Indian Ocean Region, or West Coast of Africa or Southeast Asia
high-risk areas respectively. In order to mitigate the security
risk, security arrangements are required for vessels which travel
through these high-risk areas.
C.Organizational
Structure
Our organizational structure includes, among others, our interest
in Teekay Tankers, which is our publicly-traded
subsidiary.
The following chart provides an overview of our organizational
structure as at March 1, 2023. Please read Exhibit 8.1 to this
Annual Report for a list of our subsidiaries as at March 1,
2023.
(1)Teekay
Tankers has two classes of shares: Class A common stock and
Class B common stock. Teekay Corporation indirectly owns 100%
of the Class B shares which have up to five votes each but
aggregate voting power capped at 49%. As a result of Teekay
Corporation’s ownership of Class A and Class B shares, it
holds aggregate voting power of 53.7% as of March 1,
2023.
(2)Teekay
Corporation indirectly owns 28.5% of Class A and Class B common
stock.
In December 2007, we added Teekay Tankers to our structure. Teekay
Tankers is a Marshall Islands corporation formed by us to own our
conventional tanker business. As of December 31, 2022, Teekay
Tankers’ fleet included 25 double-hull Aframax /LR tankers
(including six chartered-in vessels), 26 double-hull Suezmax
tankers and one VLCC, all of which trade either in the spot tanker
market or under short- or medium-term, fixed-rate time-charter
contracts. Teekay Tankers owns 100% of its fleet, other than a 50%
interest in the VLCC and the in-chartered vessels. Prior to October
1, 2018, we provided Teekay Tankers with certain commercial,
technical, administrative, and strategic services under a long-term
management agreement through a wholly-owned subsidiary. As of
October 1, 2018, Teekay Tankers elected to receive commercial and
technical management services directly from its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, who receive various services from us and our
affiliates.
We are party to an omnibus agreement with Seapeak, Altera and
related parties governing, among other things, when we, Seapeak and
Altera may compete with each other and certain rights of first
offer on LNG carriers, oil tankers, shuttle tankers, FSO units and
FPSO units.
We are also a party to an agreement with an affiliate of Stonepeak
that provides, among other things and subject to certain
exceptions, that (i) for two years after the merger of Seapeak with
affiliates of Stonepeak, we and our affiliates will not engage in,
acquire or invest in any business that owns, operates or charters
any liquefied gas carriers and related time charters, and (ii) for
three years after the merger of Seapeak with affiliates of
Stonepeak, we and our affiliates will not engage in, acquire or
invest in any business that owns, operates or charters LNG carriers
and related time charters.
D.Property,
Plant and Equipment
Other than our vessels, we do not have any material property.
Please read "Item 4B – Information on the Company – Business
Overview - Our Consolidated Fleet" for information about our
vessels and “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term
Debt", "Note 9 - Operating Leases" and "Note 10 - Obligations
Related to Finance Leases" for information about major encumbrances
against our vessels.
E.Taxation
of the Company
United States Taxation
The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax
considerations applicable to us. This discussion is based upon
provisions of the Code, legislative history, applicable U.S.
Treasury Regulations (or
Treasury Regulations),
judicial authority and administrative interpretations, all as in
effect on the date of this Annual Report, and which are subject to
change, possibly with retroactive effect, or are subject to
different interpretations. Changes in these authorities may cause
the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences
described below.
Taxation of Operating Income.
A significant portion of our gross income will be attributable to
the transportation of crude oil and related products. For this
purpose, gross income attributable to transportation (or
Transportation Income)
includes income derived from, or in connection with, the use (or
hiring or leasing for use) of a vessel to transport cargo, or the
performance of services directly related to the use of any vessel
to transport cargo, and thus includes income from time charters,
contracts of affreightment, bareboat charters, and voyage
charters.
Fifty percent (50%) of Transportation Income that either
begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United
States (or
U.S. Source International Transportation Gross
Income)
is considered to be derived from sources within the United States.
Transportation Income that both begins and ends in the United
States (or
U.S. Source Domestic Transportation Gross Income)
is considered to be 100% derived from sources within the United
States. Transportation Income exclusively between non-U.S.
destinations is considered to be 100% derived from sources outside
the United States. Transportation Income derived from sources
outside the United States generally is not subject to U.S. federal
income tax.
Based on our current operations, and the operations of our
subsidiaries, a substantial portion of our Transportation Income is
from sources outside the United States and not subject to U.S.
federal income tax. Unless the exemption from U.S. taxation under
Section 883 of the Code (or the
Section 883 Exemption)
applies, our U.S. Source International Transportation Gross Income
generally is subject to U.S. federal income taxation under either
the net basis and branch profits taxes or the 4% gross basis tax,
each of which is discussed below. Furthermore, certain of our
subsidiaries engaged in activities which could give rise to U.S.
Source International Transportation Gross Income rely on our
ability to claim the Section 883 Exemption.
The Section 883 Exemption.
In general, the Section 883 Exemption provides that if a
non-U.S. corporation satisfies the requirements of Section 883
of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (or the
Section 883 Regulations),
it will not be subject to the net basis and branch profits taxes or
the 4% gross basis tax described below on its U.S. Source
International Transportation Gross Income. As discussed below, we
believe the Section 883 Exemption will apply and we will not
be taxed on our U.S. Source International Transportation Gross
Income. The Section 883 Exemption does not apply to U.S.
Source Domestic Transportation Gross Income.
A non-U.S. corporation will qualify for the Section 883
Exemption if, among other things, it (i) is organized in a
jurisdiction outside the United States that grants an exemption
from tax to U.S. corporations on international Transportation Gross
Income (or an
Equivalent Exemption),
(ii) meets one of three ownership tests (or
Ownership Tests)
described in the Section 883 Regulations, and (iii) meets
certain substantiation, reporting and other requirements (or
the
Substantiation Requirements).
We are organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall
Islands. The U.S. Treasury Department has recognized the Republic
of the Marshall Islands as a jurisdiction that grants an Equivalent
Exemption. We also believe that we will be able to satisfy the
Substantiation Requirements necessary to qualify for the
Section 883 Exemption. Consequently, our U.S. Source
International Transportation Gross Income (including for this
purpose, our share of any such income earned by our subsidiaries
that have properly elected to be treated as partnerships or
disregarded as entities separate from us for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) will be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation
provided we satisfy one of the Ownership Tests. We believe that we
should satisfy one of the Ownership Tests because our stock is
primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market
in the United States within the meaning of Section 883 of the
Code and the Section 883 Regulations. We can give no
assurance, however, that changes in the ownership of our stock
subsequent to the date of this Annual Report will permit us to
continue to qualify for the Section 883
exemption.
Net Basis Tax and Branch Profits Tax.
If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply, our U.S. Source
International Transportation Gross Income may be treated as
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in
the United States (or
Effectively Connected Income)
if we have a fixed place of business in the United States and
substantially all of our U.S. Source International Transportation
Gross Income is attributable to regularly scheduled transportation
or, in the case of income derived from bareboat charters, is
attributable to a fixed place of business in the United States.
Based on our current operations, none of our potential U.S. Source
International Transportation Gross Income is attributable to
regularly scheduled transportation or is derived from bareboat
charters attributable to a fixed place of business in the United
States. As a result, we do not anticipate that any of our U.S.
Source International Transportation Gross Income will be treated as
Effectively Connected Income. However, there is no assurance that
we will not earn income pursuant to regularly scheduled
transportation or bareboat charters attributable to a fixed place
of business in the United States in the future, which will result
in such income being treated as Effectively Connected Income. U.S.
Source Domestic Transportation Gross Income generally will be
treated as Effectively Connected Income.
Any income we earn that is treated as Effectively Connected Income
would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax (which
statutory rate as of the end of 2022 was 21%) and a 30% branch
profits tax imposed under Section 884 of the Code. In
addition, a branch interest tax could be imposed on certain
interest paid, or deemed paid, by us.
On the sale of a vessel that has produced Effectively Connected
Income, we generally would be subject to the net basis and branch
profits taxes with respect to our gain recognized up to the amount
of certain prior deductions for depreciation that reduced
Effectively Connected Income. Otherwise, we would not be subject to
U.S. federal income tax with respect to gain realized on the sale
of a vessel, provided the sale is considered to occur outside of
the United States under U.S. federal income tax
principles.
The 4% Gross Basis Tax.
If the Section 883 Exemption does not apply and we are not
subject to the net basis and branch profits taxes described above,
we will be subject to a 4% U.S. federal income tax on our
subsidiaries' U.S. Source International Transportation Gross
Income, without benefit of deductions. For 2022, we estimate that,
if the Section 883 Exemption and the net basis tax did not
apply, the U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Source
International Transportation Gross Income would have been
approximately $10.2 million. If the Section 883 Exemption does not
apply, the amount of such tax for which we or our subsidiaries may
be liable in any year will depend upon the amount of income we earn
from voyages into or out of the United States in such year,
however, which is not within our complete control.
Marshall Islands Taxation
We believe that neither we nor our subsidiaries will be subject to
taxation under the laws of the Marshall Islands, nor that
distributions by our subsidiaries to us will be subject to any
taxes under the laws of the Marshall Islands, other than taxes,
fines, or fees due to (i) the incorporation, dissolution, continued
existence, merger, domestication (or similar concepts) of legal
entities registered in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, (ii)
filing certificates (such as certificates of incumbency, merger, or
re-domiciliation) with the Marshall Islands registrar, (iii)
obtaining certificates of good standing from, or certified copies
of documents filed with, the Marshall Islands registrar, (iv)
compliance with Marshall Islands law concerning vessel ownership,
such as tonnage tax, or (v) non-compliance with economic substance
regulations or with requests made by the Marshall Islands Registrar
of Corporations relating to our books and records and the books and
records of our subsidiaries.
Other Taxation
We and our subsidiaries are subject to taxation in certain non-U.S.
jurisdictions because we or our subsidiaries are either organized,
or conduct business or operations in such jurisdictions. In
other non-U.S. jurisdictions, we and our subsidiaries rely on
statutory exemptions from tax. However, we cannot assure that any
statutory exemptions from tax on which we or our subsidiaries rely
will continue to be available as tax laws in those jurisdictions
may change or we or our subsidiaries may enter into new business
transactions relating to such jurisdictions, which could affect our
and our subsidiaries' tax liability. Please read “Item 18 –
Financial Statements: Note 21 – Income Tax (Expense)
Recovery".

and Financial Review and Prospects
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Overview
Teekay Corporation (or
Teekay)
is a leading provider of international crude oil and other marine
transportation services. Teekay currently provides these services
directly and through its controlling ownership interest in Teekay
Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: TNK) (or
Teekay Tankers),
one of the world’s largest owners and operators of mid-sized crude
oil tankers.
On October 4, 2021, Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or
Teekay LNG Partners)
(now known as Seapeak LLC (or
Seapeak)),
Teekay LNG Partners' general partner, Teekay GP L.L.C. (or
Teekay GP),
an investment vehicle (or
Acquiror)
managed by Stonepeak Partners L.P., and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Acquiror (or
Merger Sub)
entered into an agreement and plan of merger (or the
Merger Agreement)
by which Stonepeak would acquire Teekay LNG Partners. On January
13, 2022, Teekay announced the closing of the merger (or the
Merger)
pursuant to the Merger Agreement and related transactions. As part
of the Merger and other transactions, Teekay sold all of its
ownership interest in Teekay LNG Partners, including approximately
36.0 million Teekay LNG Partners common units, and Teekay GP
(equivalent to approximately 1.6 million Teekay LNG Partners common
units), for $17.00 per common unit or common unit equivalent in
cash. As consideration, Teekay received total gross cash proceeds
of approximately $641 million. Furthermore, on January 13, 2022,
Teekay transferred certain management services companies to Teekay
LNG Partners that provide, through existing services agreements,
comprehensive managerial, operational and administrative services
to Teekay LNG Partners, its subsidiaries and certain of its joint
ventures. Due to negative working capital in these subsidiaries on
the date of purchase, Teekay paid Teekay LNG Partners $4.9 million
to assume ownership of them. Concurrently with the closing of the
transaction, Teekay and Teekay LNG Partners entered into a
transition services agreement whereby each party provides certain
services, consisting primarily of corporate services that were
previously shared by the entire Teekay organization, to the other
party for a mutually agreed reasonable period following closing to
allow for the orderly separation of these functions into two
standalone operations. Teekay's former general partner interest in
Teekay LNG Partners, all of its former common units in Teekay LNG
Partners, and certain subsidiaries which collectively contained the
shore-based management operations of Teekay LNG Partners and
certain of Teekay LNG Partners’ joint ventures are referred to
herein as the
"Teekay
Gas Business".
Following completion of these transactions, Teekay Parent's
remaining assets consist of our controlling interest in
publicly-listed Teekay Tankers, our marine services business in
Australia and a net cash and short-term investments position of
over $300 million. Teekay and its current subsidiaries, other than
Teekay Tankers, are referred to herein as "Teekay
Parent".
Structure
To understand our financial condition and results of operations, a
general understanding of our organizational structure is required.
Our organizational structure can be divided into (a) our
controlling interests in Teekay Tankers and (b) Teekay Parent.
Since we control the voting interests of Teekay Tankers through our
ownership of Class A and Class B common shares of Teekay Tankers,
we consolidate the results of this subsidiary, and prior to the
closing of the sale of the Teekay Gas Business, we controlled
Teekay LNG Partners through our 100% ownership of the sole general
partner interest of Teekay LNG Partners.
Teekay Tankers
In 2007, we formed Teekay Tankers to expand our oil tanker
business. Teekay Tankers holds all of our oil tanker assets,
primarily consisting of Suezmax and Aframax / LR2 tankers, and
engages in short to medium term fixed-rate charter contracts and
spot tanker market trading. Teekay Tankers also owns a ship-to-ship
transfer business that performs full service lightering and
lightering support operations in the U.S. Gulf and Caribbean. As of
December 31, 2022, we had an economic interest of 28.5% and
voting power of 53.7% in Teekay Tankers.
Teekay Parent
Teekay Parent has been operating in Australia for over 25 years,
providing various marine services to the Commonwealth of Australia
and other Australian companies; Teekay Parent is one of the largest
employers of Australian seafarers. Our marine services business in
Australia provides operations, supply, maintenance and engineering
support, and crewing and training services, primarily under
long-term contracts with the Commonwealth of Australia for ten
Australian government-owned vessels. In addition, we provide
crewing services for a third-party-owned FPSO unit in Western
Australia.
Teekay has developed extensive industry experience and
industry-leading capabilities over its 50-year history and has
significant financial strength and flexibility following the sale
of the Teekay Gas Business in January 2022. We believe our strong
balance sheet positions us well to pursue future investments both
in the broader shipping space as well as other markets as the world
pushes for greater energy diversification and a lower environmental
footprint, where we can leverage our operating franchise and the
proven capabilities of the Teekay platform to create long-term
shareholder value.
Our primary financial objective for Teekay Parent is to increase
Teekay’s intrinsic value per share, which includes, among other
things, increasing the intrinsic value of Teekay
Tankers.
IMPORTANT FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL TERMS AND CONCEPTS
We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts
when analyzing our performance. These include the
following:
Revenues.
Revenues primarily include revenues from time charters, voyage
charters, full service lightering and lightering support services
and, prior to our disposition of our FPSO units and our sale of the
Teekay Gas Business, charter contracts accounted under sale-type
leases and FPSO contracts. Revenues are affected by hire rates and
the number of days a vessel operates. Revenues are also affected by
the mix of business between time charters and voyage charters and
to a lesser extent whether our vessels are subject to an RSA. Hire
rates for voyage charters are more volatile, as they are typically
tied to prevailing market rates at the time of a
voyage.
Voyage Expenses.
Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage,
including any fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading
expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. Voyage expenses
are typically paid by the customer under time charters and, prior
to our disposition of our FPSO units, FPSO contracts, and by us
under voyage charters.
Net Revenues.
Net revenues represents (loss) income from vessel operations before
vessel operating expenses, time-charter hire expenses, depreciation
and amortization, general and administrative expenses, write-down
and gain (loss) on sale of assets and restructuring charges. This
is a non-GAAP financial measure; for more information about this
measure, please read "Item 5 - Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects - Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
Vessel Operating Expenses.
Under all types of charters and contracts for our vessels, except
for bareboat charters, we are responsible for vessel operating
expenses, which include crewing, repairs and maintenance,
insurance, stores, lube oils and communication expenses. The two
largest components of our vessel operating expenses are crew costs
and repairs and maintenance. We expect these expenses to increase
as our fleet matures and to the extent that it expands. We are
taking steps to maintain these expenses at a stable level but
expect an increase in line with inflation in respect of crew,
material, and maintenance costs. The strengthening or weakening of
the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies may result in
significant decreases or increases, respectively, in our vessel
operating expenses, depending on the currencies in which such
expenses are incurred.
Income (Loss) from Vessel Operations.
To assist us in evaluating our operations by segment, we analyze
our loss or income from vessel operations for each segment, which
represents the loss or income we receive from the segment after
deducting operating expenses, but prior to the deduction of
interest expense, realized and unrealized gains (losses) on
non-designated derivative instruments, income taxes, foreign
currency and other income and losses.
Dry docking.
We must periodically dry dock each of our vessels for inspection,
repairs and maintenance and any modifications to comply with
industry certification or governmental requirements. Generally, we
dry dock each of our vessels every two and a half to five years,
depending upon the type of vessel and its age. We capitalize a
substantial portion of the costs incurred during dry docking and
amortize those costs on a straight-line basis from the completion
of a dry docking over the estimated useful life of the dry dock. We
expense as incurred costs for routine repairs and maintenance
performed during dry dockings that do not improve or extend the
useful lives of the assets. The number of dry dockings undertaken
in a given period and the nature of the work performed determine
the level of dry-docking expenditures.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Our depreciation and amortization expense typically consists
of:
•charges
related to the depreciation and amortization of the historical cost
of our fleet (less an estimated residual value) over the estimated
useful lives of our vessels;
•charges
related to the amortization of dry-docking expenditures over the
useful life of the dry dock; and
•charges
related to the amortization of intangible assets, including the
fair value of time charters and customer relationships where
amounts have been attributed to those items in acquisitions; these
amounts are amortized over the period in which the asset is
expected to contribute to our future cash flows.
Time-Charter Equivalent (TCE) Rates.
Bulk shipping industry freight rates are commonly measured in the
shipping industry in terms of “time-charter equivalent” (or
TCE)
rates, which represent net revenues divided by revenue
days.
Revenue Days.
Revenue days are the total number of calendar days our vessels were
in our possession during a period, less the total number of
off-hire days during the period associated with major repairs, dry
dockings or special or intermediate surveys. Consequently, revenue
days represent the total number of days available for the vessel to
earn revenue. Idle days, which are days when the vessel is
available for the vessel to earn revenue, yet is not employed, are
included in revenue days. We use revenue days to explain changes in
our revenues between periods.
Calendar-Ship-Days.
Calendar-ship-days are equal to the total number of calendar days
that our vessels were in our possession during a period. As a
result, we use calendar-ship-days primarily in explaining changes
in vessel operating expenses, time-charter hire expenses and
depreciation and amortization expense.
ITEMS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHEN EVALUATING OUR RESULTS
You should consider the following factors when evaluating our
historical financial performance and assessing our future
prospects:
•Our
voyage revenues are affected by cyclicality in the tanker
markets. The
cyclical nature of the tanker industry causes significant increases
or decreases in the revenue we earn from our vessels, particularly
those we trade in the spot market. Following the sale of the Teekay
Gas Business, which operated primarily under long-term, fixed-rate
time-charter contracts, our revenues will be more
volatile.
•Tanker
rates also fluctuate based on seasonal variations in
demand. Tanker
markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of
increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere but weaker in
the summer months as a result of lower oil consumption in the
northern hemisphere and increased refinery maintenance. In
addition, unpredictable weather patterns during the winter months
tend to disrupt vessel scheduling, which historically has increased
oil price volatility and oil trading activities in the winter
months. As a result, revenues generated by our vessels have
historically been weaker during the quarters ended June 30 and
September 30, and stronger in the quarters ended
December 31 and March 31.
•We
have retroactively adjusted the presentation of our results of the
Teekay Gas Business.
On October 4, 2021, we entered into agreements to sell our general
partner interest in Teekay LNG Partners (now known as Seapeak LLC),
all of our common units in Teekay LNG Partners, and certain
subsidiaries which collectively contain the shore-based management
operations of the Teekay Gas Business (see "Overview" section
above). These transactions closed on January 13, 2022. All revenues
and expenses of the Teekay Gas Business prior to the sale and for
the periods covered by the consolidated statements of income (loss)
in the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual
Report have been aggregated and presented separately from the
continuing operations of Teekay. As such, the following sections
consisting of Operating Results – Teekay Tankers, Operating Results
– Teekay Parent and Other Consolidated Operating Results exclude
the results of the Teekay Gas Business.
•Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine has had and may continue to have material
effects on our business, results of operations, or financial
condition.
In late February 2022, the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine. This
followed Russia’s involvement in divesting control by Ukraine of
the Crimea region and certain parts of south-eastern Ukraine
starting in 2014. In response to both events, the United States,
several European Union nations, and other countries announced a
series of sanctions and executive orders against citizens,
entities, and activities connected to Russia and, with respect to
sanctions and orders announced in 2022, Belarus. The sanctions
imposed following the 2022 invasion have been numerous and
significant in scope. In addition, the United States, Canada,
Australia, the European Union, United Kingdom and several other
countries have announced prohibitions on the importation of Russian
oil and petroleum products, or intentions to reduce their reliance
on Russian oil. Carriage of Russian origin oil is now prohibited by
many countries (including all of the Group of Seven (or
G7)
countries) unless it is at or below a price cap and the same
applies to Russian petroleum products since February 5, 2023.
Furthermore, several of the world’s largest oil and gas companies,
pension and wealth funds and other asset managers have announced
divestments of Russian holdings and assets, including those related
to the crude oil and petroleum products industries. As at the date
of this Annual Report, the conflict is ongoing and, as a result,
additional sanctions and executive orders may be implemented that
could further impact the trade of crude oil and petroleum products,
as well as the supply of Russian oil to the global market and the
demand for, and price of, oil and petroleum products.
The conflict in Ukraine and the consequent sanctions imposed on
Russia so far have significantly increased tanker demand and rates
by reshaping global oil trading patterns, including the rerouting
of Russian oil exports away from Europe and the subsequent
backfilling of imports into Europe from other more distant sources.
Changes in or resolution of the conflict in Ukraine and the lifting
of those sanctions potentially could lead to a reversal of these
trading patterns or other effects that could decrease tanker demand
and rates.
•The
COVID-19 pandemic could have material adverse effects on our
business, results of operations, or financial condition.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we did not experience any
material business interruptions as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic. Spot tanker rates came under pressure from mid-May 2020
through the beginning of 2022 as a result of significantly reduced
oil demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent decision
by the OPEC+ group of oil producers to implement record oil supply
cuts. Reduced oil production from other oil producing nations due
to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the unwinding of
floating storage and the delivery of newbuilding vessels to the
world tanker fleet, also contributed to the weakness in tanker
rates and became a contributing factor to the write-down of certain
of our tankers during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
as described in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 18 - Gain on
Sale and (Write-down) of Assets", and the reduction in certain tax
accruals during the year ended December 31, 2020 as described in
"Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 21 - Income Tax (Expense)
Recovery" of this Annual Report. Please read “Item 3. Key
Information - Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for
the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information about
potential risks of the COVID-19 pandemic on our
business.
•Our
U.S. Gulf lightering business competes with alternative methods of
delivering crude oil to ports and exports to offshore for
consolidation onto larger vessels, which may limit our earnings in
this area of our operations.
Our U.S. Gulf lightering business faces competition from
alternative methods of delivering crude oil shipments to port and
exports to offshore for consolidation onto larger vessels,
including the Louisiana Offshore Oil Platform and deep water
terminals in Corpus Christi and Houston, Texas which can partially
load Very Large Crude Carriers (or
VLCCs).
While we believe that lightering offers advantages over alternative
methods of delivering crude oil to and from U.S. Gulf ports, our
lightering revenues may be limited due to the availability of
alternative methods.
•Vessel
operating and other costs are facing industry-wide cost
pressures.
The shipping industry continues to forecast a shortfall in
qualified personnel, which may be further affected by geopolitical
events. We will continue to focus on our manning and training
strategies to meet future needs. In addition, factors such as
client demands for enhanced training and physical equipment,
pressure on commodity and raw material prices, an increasing cost
of freight, as well as changes in regulatory requirements could
also contribute to operating expenditure increases. We continue to
take action aimed at improving operational efficiencies, and to
temper the effect of inflationary and other price escalations;
however, increases to operational costs may occur in the
future.
•The
amount and timing of dry dockings and major modifications of our
vessels can affect our revenues between periods. Our
vessels are normally off-hire when they are being dry docked. We
had nine vessels drydock in 2022, compared to 10 vessels which dry
docked during 2021. During 2022 and 2021, on a consolidated basis,
excluding amounts related to the Teekay Gas Business and excluding
the vessel in our equity-accounted joint venture, the total number
of off-hire days relating to dry dockings and ballast water
treatment systems (or
BWTS)
installations were 561 and 611, respectively. Our current fleet
consists of eight owned and leased vessels and one time
chartered-in vessel scheduled to dry dock in 2023.
•Our
financial results are affected by fluctuations in currency
exchange rates.
Under GAAP, all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and
liabilities (including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities,
advances from affiliates, and long-term debt) are revalued and
reported based on the prevailing exchange rate at the end of the
period. These foreign currency translation fluctuations are based
on the strength of the U.S. Dollar relative mainly to the
Australian Dollar, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Euro and
Singaporean Dollar and are included in our results of operations.
The translation of all foreign currency-denominated monetary assets
and liabilities at each reporting date results in unrealized
foreign currency exchange gains or losses.

Summary
Our consolidated income from vessels operations, which excludes the
Teekay Gas Business, increased to $245.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022, compared to a loss from vessel operations
of $(185.4) million in the prior year. The primary reasons for this
increase in income are as follows:
•an
increase of $329.3 million as a result of higher overall average
realized spot TCE rates earned by our Suezmax tankers and Aframax /
LR2 tankers, as well as higher earnings from our FSL dedicated
vessels;
•an
increase of $89.3 million due to a decrease in write-downs related
to the impairment of two right-of-use assets during 2022, compared
to write-downs related to two tankers that were held for sale, as
well as the impairment of seven tankers and one right-of-use asset
during 2021;
•an
increase of $13.0 million due to the gain on sale of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit in the third quarter of 2022;
•an
increase of $12.0 million due to the gain on sale of vessels
related to three Aframax / LR2 tankers and one Suezmax tanker
during 2022, compared to the loss on sale of two Aframax / LR2
tankers during the second half of 2021; and
•an
increase of $11.7 million due to the addition of three Aframax /
LR2 chartered-in tankers and one Suezmax chartered-in tanker that
were delivered to us during the second half of 2021 and the second
half of 2022, as well as net savings from the redeliveries of two
Aframax /LR2 chartered-in tankers to their owners during the first
quarter of 2021;
partially offset by:
•a
decrease of $33.0 million due to a gain from the derecognition of
the asset retirement obligation (or
ARO)
relating to the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit in the second quarter of 2021.
Details of the changes to our results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2022, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2021 are provided in the following
section.
Year Ended December 31, 2022 versus Year Ended
December 31, 2021
Teekay Tankers

Very Large Crude Carrier (or
VLCC).
Recent Developments in Teekay Tankers
In March 2023, Teekay Tankers gave notice to exercise its vessel
purchase options to acquire five Suezmax tankers and one Aframax /
LR2 tanker for a total cost of $142.8 million, as part of the
repurchase options under the sale-leaseback arrangements described
in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 - Obligations related
to Finance Leases" of this Annual Report. We expect to complete the
purchase and delivery of these vessels in May 2023.
In February 2023, Teekay Tankers signed a term sheet for a new
secured revolving credit facility for up to $350.0 million to
refinance 19 vessels (including the 15 vessels mentioned above and
below) currently under sale-leaseback financing arrangements. The
facility is expected to be completed during the second quarter of
2023.
In January 2023, Teekay Tankers gave notice to exercise its vessel
purchase options to acquire one Suezmax tanker and eight Aframax /
LR2 tankers for a total cost of $164.3 million, as part of the
repurchase options under the sale-leaseback arrangements described
in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 - Obligations related
to Finance Leases" of this Annual Report. The purchase and delivery
of these vessels were completed in March 2023.
In February 2023, Teekay Tankers entered into a time charter-in
contract for an Aframax / LR2 tanker with a two-year term at a rate
of $35,750 per day. The vessel was delivered to Teekay Tankers in
the first quarter of 2023.
In January 2023, an Aframax / LR2 tanker newbuilding, related to a
time charter-in contract that Teekay Tankers previously entered
into during 2020, was delivered to Teekay Tankers. The time
charter-in contract has a seven-year term at a rate of $18,700 per
day with three one-year extension option periods and a purchase
option at the end of the second extension option
period.
In December 2022, Teekay Tankers entered into a time charter-out
contract for an Aframax / LR2 tanker with a one-year term at a
daily rate of $48,500 per day. This time charter-out contract
commenced in February 2023.
In November 2022, Teekay Tankers entered into a time charter-out
contract for a Suezmax tanker with a term of 21 to 26 months at a
daily rate of $38,475 per day. This time charter-out contract
commenced in December 2022.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Teekay Tankers entered into time
charter-in contracts for a Suezmax tanker and an Aframax / LR2
tanker for terms of 54 months and 36 months, respectively, at an
average rate of $31,700 per day. Both of the charters provides
Teekay Tankers with the option to extend for an additional 12
months at an average rate of $34,075 per day. The Suezmax tanker
and Aframax / LR2 tanker were delivered to Teekay Tankers in
December 2022 and February 2023, respectively.
In July 2022, Teekay Tankers agreed to sell one Aframax / LR2
tanker for $24.8 million, which resulted in a gain of $8.2 million
during the year ended December 31, 2022. The tanker was delivered
to its new owner in September 2022.
In June 2022, Teekay Tankers entered into a time charter-in
contract for an Aframax / LR2 tanker for a two-year term at a rate
of $23,000 per day. The vessel was delivered to Teekay Tankers in
July 2022.
In April 2022, Teekay Tankers completed a $114.0 million
sale-leaseback financing transaction relating to four Aframax / LR2
tankers and one Suezmax tanker. Each vessel is leased on a bareboat
charter ranging from seven to eight-year terms, with purchase
options available throughout
the lease terms and a purchase obligation at the end of the leases.
In March 2023, Teekay Tankers acquired these vessels subsequent to
giving notice to exercise its vessel purchase options described
above.
In March 2022, Teekay Tankers completed a $177.3 million
sale-leaseback financing transaction relating to eight Suezmax
tankers. Each vessel is leased on a bareboat charter ranging from
six to nine-year terms, with purchase options available commencing
at the end of the second year.
During the first quarter of 2022, Teekay Tankers agreed to sell one
Suezmax tanker and two Aframax / LR2 tankers for a total price of
$43.6 million, which resulted in a gain of $1.2 million during the
year ended December 31, 2022. The Suezmax tanker was delivered to
its new owner in February 2022, and the Aframax / LR2 tankers were
delivered to their new owners in April 2022.

Tanker Market
Mid-size crude tanker spot rates were the second highest on record
during the fourth quarter of 2022 as a combination of longer voyage
distances, a rush to book cargos ahead of the implementation of the
EU ban and G7 price cap on Russian crude oil imports, an increase
in Chinese crude oil imports, and weather-related vessel delays in
key load regions led to a stretched tanker fleet and very high
levels of fleet utilization. Mid-size tanker spot rates have
remained at historic highs during the first quarter of
2023-to-date.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has led to a
significant redrawing of global oil trade routes. Short-haul
movements of crude oil from Russia to Europe fell immediately
following the invasion, and continued to decline through the course
of the year as European countries looked to replace Russian imports
with crude oil from other, more distant destinations. This
culminated in the total ban of Russian seaborne crude oil imports
into the EU from December 5, 2022, with a similar ban on refined
products coming into effect on February 5, 2023. Most of the crude
oil which Russia was previously exporting to Europe is now moving
long-haul, primarily to India and China, which has created
significant tonne-mile demand in the mid-size sectors given that
the main Russian load ports in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Far
East are inaccessible to VLCCs. In addition, Europe has been
replacing Russian barrels with imports from further afield,
including the U.S. Gulf, Latin America, West Africa, and the Middle
East, further contributing to mid-size tanker tonne-mile demand.
These changes are expected to be durable, and we expect that
mid-size tanker trade routes will continue to be stretched in 2023,
which will help support spot tanker rates.
The International Energy Agency expects global oil demand to grow
by 2.0 million barrels per day (or
mb/d)
in 2023 to 102.0 mb/d, taking global oil demand above pre-pandemic
levels for the first time. Almost half of this growth is expected
to come from China, with demand accelerating from the second
quarter of 2023 onwards as the country opens up after three years
of strict COVID-19 management measures. Accelerating oil demand
growth in China, and elsewhere in non-OECD countries, will help
offset slower growth in the OECD countries due to economic
headwinds as a result of high inflation, rising interest rates and
emerging concerns about the strength of the global banking market.
The outlook for global oil supply is mixed, with uncertainty
surrounding the trajectory of Russian oil supply in the coming
weeks and months following the implementation of EU sanctions and
price cap. In January 2023, Russian crude oil exports were not
negatively impacted, with exports reaching an eight month high of
3.5 mb/d. However, in early February 2023 Russia announced that it
would cut production by 0.5 mb/d in March, with the cuts lasting
until June 2023. However, these cuts do not appear to be impacting
Russian crude oil export volumes, with exports holding at 3.3 mb/d
in both February and March 2023. While the OPEC+ group is expected
to maintain current production quotas throughout 2023, non-OPEC+
supply is projected to grow by 1.8 mb/d in 2023 led by the United
States, Brazil, Norway, and Guyana. With the majority of oil demand
growth expected to come from Asia, this should lead to an increase
in long-haul movements from West to East during 2023, which would
be positive for tanker tonne-mile demand.
Fleet supply fundamentals are very positive. As of March 2023, the
global tanker orderbook, when measured as a percentage of the
existing fleet, has fallen to a record low of less than 4 percent.
This is due to a lack of new vessel ordering, with just 9 million
deadweight tons of new tanker orders placed in 2022, which was the
lowest since the mid-1990s. As a result, we expect very low levels
of new tanker deliveries over the next 2 to 3 years, with little
scope to add to the orderbook during this timeframe as shipyards
are largely full through the second half of 2025 due to the record
amount of containership and LNG carrier orders placed over the past
two years. Finally, the introduction of new environmental
regulations from 2023, such as the Carbon Intensity Indicator
(or
CII),
could lead to increased fleet inefficiencies in the form of slow
steaming, which will further tighten available fleet supply in the
medium-term.
In summary, we expect that the tanker market will remain firm
during 2023 due to positive oil market fundamentals, the continued
rerouting of Russian oil exports away from Europe and subsequent
replacement of imports into Europe from other sources, and an
expected rebound in Chinese oil imports following the removal of
COVID-19 mobility restrictions. We also retain a positive outlook
for the longer-term due to the best fleet supply fundamentals in
several decades, which we anticipate would ensure that spot tanker
rates will remain well supported, albeit volatile, in the coming
years.
Net Revenues.
Net revenues were $567.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022, compared to $227.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due
to:
•an
increase of $325.5 million due to higher overall average realized
spot rates earned by Teekay Tankers' Suezmax tankers and Aframax /
LR2 tankers in 2022 compared to 2021;
•a
net increase of $7.7 million primarily due to the addition of three
Aframax / LR2 chartered-in tankers and one Suezmax chartered-in
tanker that were delivered to Teekay Tankers during the second half
of 2021 and the second half of 2022, partially offset by the sale
of seven Aframax / LR2 tankers and one Suezmax tanker at various
times during 2021 and the first three quarters of 2022, as well as
the redeliveries of two Aframax / LR2 chartered-in tankers to their
owners during the first quarter of 2021;
•an
increase of $4.7 million primarily due to higher net results from
FSL activities resulting from higher overall average FSL spot rates
and an increase in the number of FSL voyages in 2022 compared to
2021;
•a
net increase of $1.6 million primarily due to fewer off-hire days
related to dry dockings and BWTS installations, partially offset by
higher off-hire bunker expenses due to higher overall bunker costs
in 2022 compared to 2021; and
•an
increase of $1.2 million due to higher STS support service revenues
resulting from a higher volume of STS support service activities in
2022 compared to 2021.
Vessel Operating Expenses.
Vessel operating expenses were
$150.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared
to $165.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The
decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $13.0 million due
to the sale of eight tankers during 2021 and the first three
quarters of 2022, a reduction of $1.5 million due to lower
crewing-related costs and the timing of repair and maintenance
activities, as well as a reduction of $1.3 million due to
lower expenditures related to ship management in 2022, partially
offset by an increase of $0.8 million due to a higher volume of STS
support service activities in 2022.
Time-charter Hire Expenses.
Time-charter hire expenses were $27.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022 compared to $13.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an
increase of $13.1 million related to the deliveries of three
Aframax / LR2 chartered-in tankers and one Suezmax chartered-in
tanker during the second half of 2021 and the second half of 2022,
as well as an increase of $1.7 million resulting from a lower
expense in the prior year due to the impairment of an operating
lease right-of-use asset related to one chartered-in vessel during
2021, partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million due to the
redeliveries of two Aframax / LR2 chartered-in tankers to their
owners during the first quarter of 2021.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Depreciation and amortization was $99.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022 compared to $106.1 million for the year
ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a
decrease of $7.9 million due to the sale of eight tankers during
2021 and the first three quarters of 2022, as well as a decrease of
$2.4 million resulting from the impairments of seven tankers during
the first half of 2021, partially offset by an increase of $3.3
million due to depreciation related to capitalized expenditures
associated with dry dockings and modifications to Teekay Tankers'
vessels during 2021 and 2022.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $41.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $43.7 million
for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was
primarily due to lower administrative, strategic management, and
other fees incurred under Teekay Tankers' management agreement with
a subsidiary of Teekay Parent primarily due to organizational
changes, as well as lower equity-based compensation and other
general corporate expenditures.
Gain (loss) on sale and (write-down) of assets.
The gain on sale and (write-down) of assets of $8.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2022 was due to:
•the
sale of three Aframax / LR2 tankers and one Suezmax tanker in 2022,
which resulted in an aggregate gain of $9.4 million during the year
ended December 31, 2022, and the reversal of the previous
write-down of one of these tankers that had been recorded during
the fourth quarter of 2021, which reversal was made to reflect the
tanker's agreed sales price and resulted in a gain of $0.6 million
during the year ended December 31, 2022;
partially offset by:
•the
impairments recorded on two of Teekay Tankers' operating lease
right-of-use assets resulting from a decline in short-term
time-charter rates, which resulted in a write-down of $1.1 million
during the year ended December 31, 2022.
The write-down and loss on the sale of assets of $92.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 2021 was due to:
•the
impairments recorded on three Suezmax tankers and four Aframax /
LR2 tankers primarily due to a weaker near-term tanker market
outlook and a reduction in certain charter rates, resulting from
the economic climate to which the COVID-19 pandemic was a
contributing factor, which resulted in a write-down of $85.0
million during the year ended December 31, 2021;
•the
write-downs of one Aframax / LR2 tanker and one Suezmax tanker by
$4.6 million to their estimated and agreed sales
prices;
•the
sale of two Aframax / LR2 tankers during the second half of 2021,
which resulted in an aggregate net loss of $2.1 million;
and
•the
impairment recorded on one of Teekay Tankers' operating lease
right-of-use assets resulting from a decline in short-term time
charter rates, which resulted in a write-down of $0.7 million
during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Restructuring Charges.
Restructuring charges of $1.8 million for the year ended December
31, 2022 were primarily related to organizational changes made by a
subsidiary of Teekay and incurred under Teekay Tankers' management
agreement, following Teekay Parent's dispositions related to Teekay
LNG Partners L.P. (now known as Seapeak LLC) in January 2022, as
described in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 13 - Related
Party Transactions" of this Annual Report.
Equity Income (Loss).
Equity income was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2022 compared to an equity loss of $14.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a
write-down recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 of
Teekay Tankers' investment in the High-Q joint venture, in which
Teekay Tankers has a 50% ownership interest, mainly resulting from
a decline in the value of the VLCC as a result of the tanker market
which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as higher spot
rates realized during the year ended December 31, 2022 by the VLCC,
which has been trading in a third-party managed VLCC pooling
arrangement.
Teekay Parent
As at December 31, 2022, Teekay Parent had no direct interests
in any vessels or FPSO units. On October 21, 2022, Teekay Parent
delivered the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit to an EU-approved shipyard for green recycling. On July
1, 2022, Teekay Parent completed the sale of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit to a third party. In May 2021 Teekay Parent delivered
the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit to a shipyard for recycling. The Marine Services and
Other segment contains: Teekay Parent's Australian operations,
which provide operational and maintenance marine services in
Australia to the Department of Defense and to another third-party;
Teekay Parent's corporate general and administrative expenses;
Teekay Parent's marine and corporate services provided to Altera
Infrastructure L.P. (or
Altera);
and the
Suksan Salamander
FSO unit in-chartered from Altera until March 1, 2021, when it was
redelivered. Teekay Parent’s business of providing marine and
corporate services to Seapeak's equity-accounted joint ventures is
not included in the following table and has been presented as part
of the section “Operating Results – Teekay Gas
Business”.
Recent Developments in Teekay Parent
As described above in the “Overview” section, Teekay sold all of
its interest in Teekay LNG Partners (now known as Seapeak LLC) in
connection with the acquisition of Teekay LNG Partners by an
affiliate of Stonepeak, on January 13, 2022.
In February 2022, Spirit Energy, the charterer of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit, provided a formal notice of termination of the FPSO
charter contract, and oil production ceased on the Chestnut oil
field on March 31, 2022. The FPSO charter contract was terminated
on June 30, 2022 upon completion of the decommissioning activities.
In April 2022, Teekay Parent entered into an agreement to sell
the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit to a third party, which sale was completed on July 1,
2022 for gross proceeds of $13.3 million and Teekay Parent
recognized a gain of $13.0 million during the third quarter of
2022. The proceeds from the sale of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit covered the decommissioning costs for the unit, the
majority of which were incurred in the second quarter of
2022.
In September 2021, Teekay secured a contract with the Australian
Department of Defense to provide in-service support for five
vessels, through the Defense Marine Support Services Program
(or
DMSSP).
Two of the vessels included in the DMSSP previously had been
managed by our Australian operations. One additional vessel was
added to the DMSSP in 2022.
In April 2021, BP announced its decision to suspend production from
the Foinaven oil fields and permanently remove the
Petrojarl
Foinaven
FPSO unit from the site. In August 2022, BP redelivered the FPSO
unit to us and upon redelivery, Teekay Parent received a fixed lump
sum payment of $11.6 million from BP, which Teekay Parent
expects will cover the cost of green recycling the FPSO unit. On
October 21, 2022, Teekay Parent delivered the FPSO unit to an
EU-approved shipyard for green recycling.

resources.
(2)Apart
from three FPSO units (all of which had been disposed of by
December 31, 2022), all remaining calendar-ship-days presented
relate to in-chartered vessels.
Teekay Parent - Offshore Production
Income from vessel operations for Teekay Parent’s Offshore
Production business was $3.9 million for 2022, compared to income
from vessel operations of $35.5 million for 2021. The changes are
primarily a result of:
•a
decrease of $27.3 million for 2022 related to the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit primarily due to a gain of $33.0 million from the
derecognition of the ARO obligation during the second quarter of
2021, partially offset by lower decommissioning costs incurred in
2022 compared to 2021;
•a
decrease of $2.3 million for 2022 related to the
Foinaven
FPSO unit primarily due to lay-up and decommissioning costs during
the second half of 2022; and
•a
decrease of $2.1 million for 2022 related to the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit primarily due to the cessation of oil production at the
end of first quarter of 2022, and related decommissioning costs
during 2022, partially offset by the gain on sale of $13.0 million
for this
FPSO unit in July 2022.
Teekay Parent - Marine Services and Other
Loss from vessel operations for Teekay Parent’s Marine Services and
Other segment was $14.0 million for 2022, compared to loss from
vessel operations of $26.8 million for 2021. The decrease in loss
from vessel operations during 2022 was primarily due to decreases
in general and administrative expenses relating to Teekay LNG
Partners' share of our corporate unit cost incurred prior to the
sale of the Teekay Gas Business, which were not included in the
Teekay Gas Business discontinued operations results, partially
offset by higher restructuring charges in 2022 (net of
$2.6 million of recoveries from Seapeak that were recorded in
revenues). Income from vessel operations from the Australian
operations decreased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to project income
earned during 2021 from dry dock oversight and management services
provided by Teekay Parent for a third-party-owned FPSO unit in
Western Australia and Teekay Parent's management of the delivery of
an auxiliary oiler replenishment vessel during 2021, which was
partially offset by an increase in income during 2022 due to the
new DMSSP contract which commenced in the third quarter of 2021,
which increased the number of vessels managed by Teekay Parent by
one new vessel and three new vessels in 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
Other Consolidated Operating Results

results for 2022 and 2021, excluding the other operating results of

Interest expense.
Interest expense decreased to $38.6 million in 2022, compared to
$68.4 million in 2021, primarily due to:
•a
decrease of $30.5 million relating to Teekay Parent primarily due
to the redemption in full of Teekay's 9.25% senior secured notes
due November 2022 (or the 2022
Notes)
in January 2022 and the repurchase of a majority of Teekay's 5%
Convertible Senior Notes (or
Convertible Notes)
during the year ended December 31, 2022 (see "Item 18 – Financial
Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt" for further
details);
partially offset by
•an
increase of $0.7 million relating to Teekay Tankers primarily due
to a higher average London Interbank Offered Rate (or
LIBOR)
during the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as the write-off
of capitalized loan costs resulting from the sale-leaseback
transactions completed for 13 vessels during the first half of
2022, partially offset by lower debt and lease principal
balances.
Interest income.
Interest income increased in 2022 primarily relating to interest
earned on the proceeds Teekay Parent received from the sale of the
Teekay Gas Business, as well as higher bank deposit interest rates
in 2022 compared to 2021.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on non-designated derivative
instruments.
Realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to derivative
instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting
purposes are included as a separate line item in the consolidated
statements of income (loss). Net realized and unrealized gains
(losses) on non-designated derivatives were $4.8 million for 2022,
compared to ($0.5) million for 2021, as detailed in the table

|

|
The realized losses relate to amounts we realized for settlements
related to these derivative instruments in normal course and
amounts paid to terminate interest rate swap
agreements.
During 2022 and 2021, we had interest rate swap agreements
applicable to variable-rate obligations with aggregate average net
outstanding notional amounts of approximately $50.0 million
and $72.4 million, respectively, and with average fixed rates
of approximately 0.8% and 1.7%, respectively. Due to changes in
short-term variable benchmark interest rates during these periods,
we incurred realized gains of $0.5 million and losses of $1.3
million during 2022 and 2021, respectively, under the interest rate
swap agreements.
Primarily as a result of changes in long-term benchmark interest
rates during 2022 and 2021, we recognized unrealized gains of $3.2
million and $2.4 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, under the
interest rate swap agreements.
Loss on bond repurchases.
We incurred losses on bond repurchases relating to the redemption
in full of the 2022 Notes in January 2022 and the repurchase of a
majority of the Convertible Notes during 2022 (see "Item 18 –
Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt" for further
details).
Other - net.
Other income was $4.8 million in 2022 compared to other expense in
$15.2 million in 2021. The other income in 2022 primarily reflects
a reduction in Teekay Parent's ARO liability for the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit due to reduced towage and recycling cost estimates (see
"Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 6 - Accrued Liabilities and
Other Long-Term Liabilities" of this Annual Report). The other
expense in 2021 primarily relates to an increase in the present
value of the ARO liability as a result of the earlier than expected
redelivery of the
Petrojarl
Foinaven FPSO unit recognized in the second
quarter of 2021 and a credit loss provision recorded in the first
quarter of 2021.
Income tax (expense) recovery.
Income tax expense was $1.4 million in 2022 compared to income tax
recovery of $5.0 million in 2021. The change was primarily due to
lower recoveries related to the expiry of the statute of
limitations in certain jurisdictions, as well as changes in vessel
trading activities during 2022. For additional information, please
read "Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 21 - Income Tax Recovery
(Expense)" of this Annual Report.

(1)General
and administrative costs for the Teekay Gas Business discontinued
operations do not include allocations of costs from shared
corporate units. As a result, the general and administrative
expenses of the Teekay Gas Business discontinued operations do not
represent a fully-built-up cost, but rather only the direct costs
incurred by Seapeak and the costs associated with functions that
are fully-dedicated to providing services to Seapeak and certain of
its joint ventures. As such, Seapeak’s share of the costs incurred
by the corporate units in Teekay Parent is not included in the
discontinued operations results.
(2)Calendar-ship-days
presented relate to consolidated vessels only.
Results from the Teekay Gas Business decreased in the year ended
December 31, 2022, compared to the same period in prior year, as a
result of the sale of the Teekay Gas Business on January 13, 2022,
as well as a loss on deconsolidation recognized during the three
months ended March 31, 2022. Included in the net (income) loss
attributable to non-controlling interests, discontinued operations
on the consolidated statements of income (loss) was $84.8 million
of Deferred Dropdown Gains as described in "Item 1 - Financial
Statements: Note 20 - Deconsolidation of Teekay Gas Business and
Discontinued Operations". Together the Deferred Dropdown Gains and
the loss on deconsolidation of $58.7 million, resulted in a net
gain of $26.2 million that was recognized in the net income
attributable to our shareholders on sale of the Teekay Gas
Business.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 versus Year Ended
December 31, 2020
For a discussion of our operating results for the year ended
December 31, 2021 compared with the year ended
December 31, 2020, please see "Item 5 – Recent Developments
and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for
the year ended December 31, 2021.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Capital
Teekay Parent
As of the date of this filing, Teekay Parent primarily generates
cash flows from managing vessels for the Australian government,
providing management services to Teekay Tankers and certain third
parties, and from interest income related to our short-term
investments and cash and cash equivalent balances. Teekay Parent's
other potential sources of funds are borrowings under credit
facilities and proceeds from issuances of debt or equity
securities. As at December 31, 2022, Teekay Parent's remaining debt
security outstanding consisted of $21.2 million aggregate
principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which are described in
"Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt". On
January 17, 2023, Teekay Parent repaid the remaining principal
amount of $21.2 million upon maturity.
Teekay Parent's primary uses of cash include the payment of
operating expenses, funding general and administrative expenses and
other working capital requirements, and the payment of remaining
asset retirement obligations, decommissioning costs and/or
recycling costs associated with the FPSO units it disposed of in
2022 and 2021. Our proceeds from the sale of the Teekay Gas
Business in January 2022 provided us with additional financial
flexibility. As the world pushes for greater energy diversification
and a lower environmental footprint, we anticipate there will be
suitable investment opportunities for us to consider in both the
broader shipping sector and potentially new and adjacent markets.
As at December 31, 2022, Teekay Parent held $210 million in
short-term investments, which are comprised of time deposits with
banks.
In August 2022, Teekay Parent's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to $30 million of common shares in the open
market and other transactions. As at December 31, 2022, Teekay
Parent had repurchased approximately 3.8 million common shares for
$15.3 million, excluding transaction costs, under this share
repurchase program. During the first quarter of 2023, Teekay Parent
completed the $30 million repurchase program by repurchasing
approximately 2.7 million common shares for
$14.7 million, or an average of $5.44 per share. In March
2023, Teekay Parent's Board of Directors authorized a new share
repurchase program for the repurchase of up to an additional
$30 million of common shares in the open market, through
privately-negotiated transactions and by any other means permitted
under the rules of the SEC. As of March 30, 2023, Teekay Parent
repurchased 14,112 common shares under this new share repurchase
program for $0.1 million, or an average of $6.04 per
share.
Teekay Tankers
Teekay Tankers generates cash flows primarily from chartering out
its vessels. Teekay Tankers employs a chartering strategy that
seeks to capture upside opportunities in the tanker spot market
while using fixed-rate time charters and FSL contracts to reduce
potential downside risks. Teekay Tankers' short-term charters and
spot market tanker operations contribute to the volatility of its
net operating cash flow, and thus may impact its ability to
generate sufficient cash flows to meet its short-term liquidity
needs. As noted previously, historically, the tanker industry has
been cyclical. However there can be factors that override the
typical seasonality, such as was the case during 2022, when global
oil trade routes and tonne-mile demand were impacted by Russia's
invasion of Ukraine which commenced in late February
2022.
While exposure to the volatile spot market is the largest potential
cause for changes in Teekay Tankers' net operating cash flow from
period to period, variability in its net operating cash flow also
reflects changes in interest rates, fluctuations in working capital
balances, the timing and the amount of dry-docking expenditures,
repairs and maintenance activities, the average number of vessels
in service, including chartered-in vessels, and vessel acquisitions
or vessel dispositions, among other factors. The number of vessel
dry dockings varies each period depending on vessel maintenance
schedules.
Teekay Tankers' other primary sources of cash are long-term bank
borrowings and other debt, lease or equity financings, and to a
lesser extent, the proceeds from the sales of its older
vessels.
Teekay Tankers' obligations related to finance leases are described
in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 – Obligations Related
to Finance Leases", its revolving credit facility is described in
"Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt" and its
working capital loan is described in "Item 18 – Financial
Statements: Note 7 – Short-Term Debt" of this report. Teekay
Tankers' working capital loan requires it to maintain a minimum
threshold of paid-in capital contribution and retained
distributions of participants in the revenue sharing agreements.
Teekay Tankers' revolving credit facility contains covenants and
other restrictions that it believes are typical of debt financings
collateralized by vessels, including those that restrict the
relevant subsidiaries from: incurring or guaranteeing additional
indebtedness; making certain negative pledges or granting certain
liens; and selling, transferring, assigning or conveying
assets.
Teekay Tankers' revolving credit facility and obligations related
to finance leases require it to maintain financial covenants. The
terms of and compliance with these financial covenants are
described in further detail in "Item 18 – Financial Statements:
Note 8 – Long-Term Debt" and in "Item 18 – Financial Statements:
Note 10 – Obligations Related to Finance Leases" included in this
Annual Report. If Teekay Tankers does not meet these financial or
other covenants, the lender may declare Teekay Tankers' obligations
under the agreements immediately due and payable and terminate any
further loan commitments, which would significantly affect Teekay
Tankers' short-term liquidity requirements. As at December 31,
2022, Teekay Tankers was in compliance with all covenants under its
revolving credit facility, working capital loan and obligations
related to finance leases.
As at December 31, 2022, Teekay Tankers' revolving credit facility,
working capital loan and obligations related to certain finance
leases required it to make interest payments based on LIBOR or SOFR
plus a margin. Significant increases in interest rates could
adversely affect Teekay Tankers' results of operations and its
ability to service its debt. From time to time, Teekay Tankers uses
interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to market risk from
changes in interest rates. Teekay Tankers' current interest rate
swap position is described in further detail in "Item 18 –
Financial Statements: Note 15 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" and our exposure to changes in interest rates is
described in further detail in "Item 11 - Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of this Annual
Report.
Teekay Tankers' primary uses of cash include the payment of
operating expenses, dry-docking expenditures, costs associated with
modifications to its vessels, debt servicing costs, scheduled
repayments of long-term debt, scheduled repayments of its
obligations related to finance leases, as well as funding its other
working capital requirements, and providing funding to its
equity-accounted joint venture from time to time. In addition,
Teekay Tankers uses cash to acquire new or second-hand vessels to
renew its fleet or to grow the size of its fleet. The timing of the
acquisition of vessels depends on a number of factors, including
newbuilding prices, second-hand vessel values, the age, condition
and size of Teekay Tankers' existing fleet, the commercial outlook
for its vessels and other considerations. As such, vessel
acquisition activity may vary significantly from year to
year.

Operating Cash Flows - Continuing Operations
Our consolidated net cash flow from operating activities -
continuing operations fluctuates primarily as a result of changes
in vessel utilization and TCE rates, changes in interest rates,
fluctuations in working capital balances, the timing and amount of
dry-docking expenditures, repairs and maintenance activities,
vessel additions and dispositions, and foreign currency rates. Our
exposure to the spot tanker market has contributed significantly to
fluctuations in operating cash flows historically as a result of
highly cyclical spot tanker rates.
Consolidated net cash flow from operating activities increased to
$172.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, from
($141.9) million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The
increase to operating cash flows was primarily due to a $344.5
million increase in income from operations (before depreciation and
amortization, gain on sale and write-down of assets and asset
retirement obligation extinguishment gain). For a further
discussion of changes in income from operations from our
businesses, please read “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review
and Prospects: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments and
Results of Operations". Other increases in cash flow from operating
activities include a $38.2 million decrease in net interest expense
compared to 2021, a $12.6 million decrease in expenditures for dry
docking compared to 2021, and a $10.5 million increase in direct
financing lease payments received in 2022 compared to 2021. These
increases were partially offset by a $92.6 million increase in cash
outflows related to changes in net working capital compared to 2021
(see "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 17 - Supplemental Cash
Flow Information" for a breakdown of these changes related to
Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Expenses & Other, Accounts Payable
and Accrued Liabilities & Other).
Financing Cash Flows - Continuing Operations
We use our credit facilities to partially finance capital
expenditures. Occasionally, we will use revolving credit facilities
to finance these expenditures until longer-term financing is
obtained, at which time we typically use all or a portion of the
proceeds from the longer-term financings to prepay outstanding
amounts under the revolving credit facilities. We actively manage
the maturity profile of our outstanding financing arrangements. Our
prepayments of long-term debt were $614.7 million in 2022, compared
to net proceeds of $86.2 million in 2021. In addition, scheduled
debt repayments increased by $45.7 million in 2022 compared to
2021.
During 2022, Teekay Tankers received net proceeds of $237.5 million
of cash resulting from the sale-leaseback financing transactions
completed during the year, compared to net repayments of $67.8
million during the year ended December 31, 2021. During 2022, net
repayments on Teekay Tankers' working capital facility were $25.0
million compared to net drawdowns of $15.0 million in
2021.
During 2022, Teekay Parent purchased an additional 0.5 million
of Teekay Tankers’ Class A common shares through open market
purchases for $5.3 million at an average price of $10.82 per
share, and Teekay Parent sold 0.9 million of Teekay Tanker shares
on the open market at an average price of $25.20 for proceeds of
$22.8 million.
During 2022, Teekay Parent repurchased approximately
3.8 million shares of its common stock for $15.4 million,
including transaction costs.
Investing Cash Flows - Continuing Operations
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we received net proceeds
of $454.8 million ($641 million gross proceeds, net of cash
balances sold of $178 million and other working capital
adjustments) from the sale of the Teekay Gas Business, Teekay
Tankers received proceeds of $69.6 million from the sale of the one
Suezmax tanker and three Aframax / LR2 tankers, and Teekay Parent
received net proceeds of $13.0 million from the sale of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit. During 2022, we also purchased $210.0 million of
short-term investments, Teekay Tankers incurred capital
expenditures for vessels and equipment of $15.4 million, and
Teekay Tankers provided an advance of $3.0 million to its
equity-accounted joint venture.
During 2021, Teekay Tankers received proceeds of $58.1 million from
the sale of four Aframax / LR2 tankers and a $1.5 million repayment
of advances to its joint venture. These inflows were partially
offset by our capital expenditures for vessels and equipment of
$21.4 million.
Operating Cash Flows - discontinued operations, Financing Cash
Flows - discontinued operations and Investing Cash Flows -
discontinued operations
Cash provided by operations and net financing and net investment
cash outflows relating to discontinued operations decreased for the
year ended December 31, 2022, compared to the same period last
year as a result of the sale of the Teekay Gas Business on January
13, 2022.
Liquidity
We separately manage the liquidity for Teekay Parent and Teekay
Tankers. As such, the discussion of liquidity that follows is
broken down into these two groups. Teekay Parent and Teekay
Tankers' cash management policies have a primary objective of
preserving capital as well as ensuring cash investments can be sold
readily and efficiently. A further objective is ensuring an
appropriate return.
Teekay Parent
Teekay Parent’s primary sources of liquidity are its existing cash
and cash equivalents, short-term investments and cash flows
provided by operations.
Teekay Parent’s total liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments, was $339.9 million as at
December 31, 2022, compared to $58.4 million as at
December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily the result of
the receipt of gross cash proceeds of $641 million from the sale of
the Teekay Gas Business, the sale of 0.9 million of Teekay Tankers'
Class A common shares for $22.8 million in the third quarter of
2022, the sale of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit for $13.3 million in July 2022, and the receipt of $11.6
million in August 2022 upon the redelivery to us of the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit, partially offset by the redemption of the 2022 Notes for
total consideration of $249.0 million (plus accrued interest) in
January 2022, the repurchase of a majority of the Convertible Notes
for total consideration of $92.7 million (plus accrued
interest) during the first three quarters of 2022, the purchase of
an additional 0.5 million of Teekay Tankers' Class A common shares
for $5.3 million during the first quarter of 2022, the
repurchase of 3.8 million common shares under our share repurchase
program for $15.4 million including transaction costs, in the
second half of 2022, and the timing of cash used in operating
activities.
In December 2020, Teekay Parent implemented a continuous offering
program (or
COP)
under which Teekay Parent may issue shares of its common stock, at
market prices up to a maximum aggregate amount of
$65.0 million. As of the date of this Annual Report, no shares
of common stock have been issued under the COP and our assessment
of liquidity for the 12-month period following the date of this
report assumes no shares of common stock will be issued. To the
extent that Teekay Parent does receive any proceeds from the
issuance of its common stock under the COP or otherwise, this will
further increase Teekay Parent’s available liquidity.
The following table summarizes Teekay Parent’s contractual
obligations as at December 31, 2022, that relate to the
12-month period following such date and those in subsequent
periods. Due to the capital-intensive industry in which we operate
and our significant reliance on long-term borrowing, the timing of
capital expenditure commitments and the timing of the repayment of
debt obligations are important in understanding an assessment of
our ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to meet
our liquidity requirements. Teekay Parent anticipates that its
liquidity at December 31, 2022, combined with cash it expects to
generate for the 15 months following such date, will be sufficient
to meet its cash requirements for at least the one-year period
following the date of this Annual Report.

(1)In
January 2023, we repaid the remaining principal amount of our
Convertible Senior Notes totaling $21.2 million upon maturity, as
described in "Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 24 - Subsequent
Events.
(2)Teekay
Parent recognized an ARO relating to the recycling of the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit. Teekay Parent received $11.6 million from the charterer
at the end of the bareboat charter, which Teekay Parent expects
will cover all of the cost of green recycling the FPSO
unit.
Teekay Tankers
Teekay Tankers' primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash
equivalents, net operating cash flows, its undrawn credit
facilities, and capital raised through financing transactions.
Teekay Tankers' cash management policies have a primary objective
of preserving capital as well as ensuring cash investments can be
sold readily and efficiently. A further objective is ensuring an
appropriate return. The nature and extent of amounts that can be
borrowed under Teekay Tankers' revolving credit facility and
working capital loan are described in "Item 18 – Financial
Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term Debt" and in "Item 18 – Financial
Statements: Note 7 – Short-Term Debt" of this Annual
Report.
With a current focus on building net asset value and reducing its
cost of capital, Teekay Tankers currently does not pay dividends on
its common stock and any future dividend payments are subject to
the discretion of Teekay Tankers' Board of Directors.
Teekay Tankers' total consolidated liquidity, including cash, cash
equivalents and undrawn credit facilities, increased by $198.2
million during 2022, from $144.8 million at December 31,
2021, to $343.0 million at December 31, 2022. The increase
during 2022 was primarily a result of: $288.1 million received from
sale-leaseback financing transactions; $193.3 million of net
operating cash inflow; $69.6 million received from the sale of one
Suezmax tanker and three Aframax / LR2 tankers; and a $34.6 million
increase in the borrowing capacity of its working capital facility
(which size will fluctuate from period-to-period based on changes
in outstanding working capital balances), partially offset by: a
$262.5 million decrease in the borrowing capacity of its revolving
credit facility as a result of the sale-leaseback financing
transactions and vessel sales completed during the year ended
December 31, 2022 as well as scheduled reductions in the maximum
capacity of the facility; $104.0 million of scheduled repayments
and prepayments related to its term loan and scheduled repayments
related to its obligations related to finance leases; $15.4 million
of expenditures for capital upgrades for vessels and equipment; and
a $3.0 million advance to its equity-accounted joint
venture.
Teekay Tankers anticipates that its liquidity at December 31, 2022,
combined with cash it expects to generate for the 15 months
following such date, will be sufficient to meet its cash
requirements for at least the one-year period following the date of
this Annual Report.
Teekay Tankers' revolving credit facility matures in December 2024,
and there was no amount outstanding at December 31, 2022. Teekay
Tankers' ability to refinance its revolving credit facility will
depend upon, among other things, the estimated value of its
vessels, its financial condition, and the condition of credit
markets at such time. In addition, at December 31, 2022, Teekay
Tankers did not have any capital commitments related to the
acquisition of new or second-hand vessels. However, approximately
30% of its fleet is currently aged 15 years and older and Teekay
Tankers may need to begin the process of fleet renewal in the
coming years. Teekay Tankers expects that any fleet renewal
expenditures will be funded using undrawn revolving credit
facilities and new financing arrangements, including bank
borrowings, finance leases and potentially the issuance of debt and
equity securities.
The following table summarizes Teekay Tankers' contractual
obligations as at December 31, 2022.

(1)Excludes
the total cost of $164.3 million under the purchase option notices
that Teekay Tankers provided in January 2023 to acquire one Suezmax
tanker and eight Aframax / LR2 tankers as part of the repurchase
options under the sale-leaseback arrangements described in "Item 18
- Financial Statements: Note 10 - Obligations Related to Finance
Leases". The purchase and delivery of these vessels were completed
in March 2023.
(2)Excludes
the total cost of $142.8 million under the purchase option notices
that we provided in March 2023 to acquire five Suezmax tankers and
one Aframax / LR2 tanker as part of the repurchase options under
the sale-leaseback arrangements described in "Item 18 - Financial
Statements: Note 10 - Obligations Related to Finance Leases". The
purchase and delivery of these vessels are expected to be completed
in May 2023.
(3)Includes
one Aframax / LR2 tanker that was delivered to Teekay Tankers in
January 2023 under a seven-year time charter-in contract entered
into in December 2020 and one Aframax / LR2 tanker that was
delivered to Teekay Tankers in February 2023 under a three-year
time charter-in contract entered into in December
2022.
(4)Excludes
payments required if Teekay Tankers exercises options to extend the
terms of in-chartered leases signed as of December 31,
2022.
Other risks and uncertainties related to Teekay Tankers' liquidity
include changes to income tax legislation or the resolution of
uncertain tax positions relating to freight tax liabilities as
outlined in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 21 – Income Tax
(Expense) Recovery" of this Annual Report, which could have a
significant financial impact on Teekay Tankers' business, which we
cannot predict with certainty at this time. In addition, as at
December 31, 2022, the High-Q joint venture had a loan
outstanding with a financial institution with a balance of $24.4
million, and Teekay Tankers guarantees 50% of the outstanding loan
balance. Finally, passage of any climate control legislation or
other regulatory initiatives that restrict emissions of greenhouse
gases could have a significant financial and operational impact on
Teekay Tankers' business, which it cannot predict with certainty at
this time. Such regulatory measures could increase Teekay Tankers'
costs related to operating and maintaining its vessels and require
Teekay Tankers to install new emission controls, acquire allowances
or pay taxes related to its greenhouse gas emissions, or administer
and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. In addition,
increased regulation of greenhouse gases may, in the long-term,
lead to reduced demand for oil and reduced demand for Teekay
Tankers' services.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with
GAAP, which requires us to make estimates in the application of our
accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and
opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews our accounting
policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments in an effort to
ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented
fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events
and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual
results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such
differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions
discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most
critical to an understanding of our financial statements because
they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties.
For a further description of our material accounting policies,
please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 1 – Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies".
Revenue Recognition
Description.
We recognize voyage revenue on either a load-to-discharge or
discharge-to-discharge basis. Voyage revenues are recognized
ratably from the beginning of when product is loaded to when it is
discharged (unloaded) if using a load-to-discharge basis, or from
when product is discharged at the end of the prior voyage to when
it is discharged after the current voyage, if using a
discharge-to-discharge basis. However, we do not begin recognizing
revenue for any of our vessels until a charter has been agreed to
by the customer and us, even if the vessel has discharged its cargo
and is sailing to the anticipated load port on its next
voyage.
Judgments and Uncertainties.
Whether to use the load-to-discharge basis or the
discharge-to-discharge basis depends on whether the customer
directs the use of the vessel throughout the period of use,
pursuant to the terms of the voyage charter. This is a matter of
judgement. However, we believe that if the customer has the right
to direct the vessel to different load and discharge ports, among
other things, a voyage charter contract contains a lease, and the
lease term begins on the later of the vessel’s last discharge or
inception of the voyage charter contract. As such, in this case
revenue is recognized on a discharge-to-discharge basis. Otherwise,
it is recognized on a load-to-discharge basis. As at December 31,
2022, 2021 and 2020, revenue from voyages then in progress were
recognized on a discharge-to-discharge basis.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions.
If our assessment of whether the customer directs the use of the
vessel throughout the period of use is not consistent with actual
results, then the period over which voyage revenue is recognized
would be different and as such our revenues could be overstated or
understated for any given period by the amount of such difference.
Had revenue from voyages in progress been recognized on a
load-to-discharge basis, our income from operations for the year
ended December 31, 2022 would have decreased by $15.9
million.
Vessel Depreciation
Description.
The carrying value of each of our vessels represents its original
cost at the time of delivery or purchase less depreciation and
impairment charges. We depreciate the original cost, less an
estimated residual value, of our vessels on a straight-line basis
over each vessel’s estimated useful life. The carrying values of
our vessels may not represent their market value at any point in
time because the market prices of second-hand vessels tend to
fluctuate with changes in charter rates and the cost of
newbuildings, among other factors. Both charter rates and
newbuilding costs tend to be cyclical in nature.
Judgments and Uncertainties.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, depreciation
was calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years,
commencing on the date the vessel is delivered from the shipyard.
The estimated useful life of our vessels involves an element of
judgment, which takes into account design life, commercial
considerations and regulatory restrictions.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions.
The actual life of a vessel may be different than the estimated
useful life, with a shorter actual useful life resulting in an
increase in depreciation expense and potentially resulting in an
impairment loss. A longer actual useful life will result in a
decrease in depreciation expense. Had we depreciated our vessels
using an estimated useful life of 20 years instead of 25 years
effective December 31, 2021, our depreciation for the year ended
December 31, 2022 would have increased by approximately $43.8
million.
Vessel Impairment
Description.
We review vessels and equipment for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset, including
the carrying value of the charter contract, if any, under which the
vessel is employed, may not be recoverable. This occurs when the
asset’s carrying value is greater than the future undiscounted cash
flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining useful
life. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of an asset
exceed the asset’s carrying value, no impairment is recognized even
though the fair value of the asset may be lower than its carrying
value. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of an asset
are less than the asset’s carrying value and the fair value of the
asset is less than its carrying value, the asset is written down to
its fair value. Fair value is determined based on appraised values
or discounted cash flows. In cases where an active second-hand sale
and purchase market exists, an appraised value is generally the
amount we would expect to receive if we were to sell the vessel.
The appraised values are provided by third parties where available
or prepared by us based on second-hand sale and purchase market
data. In cases where an active second-hand sale and purchase market
does not exist, or in certain other cases, fair value is calculated
as the net present value of estimated future cash flows, which, in
certain circumstances, will approximate the estimated market value
of the vessel. For a vessel under charter, the discounted cash
flows from that vessel may exceed its market value, as market
values may assume the vessel is not employed on an existing
charter.
Judgments and Uncertainties.
Our estimates of future undiscounted cash flows used to determine
whether a vessel's carrying value is recoverable involve
assumptions about future charter rates, vessel utilization,
operating expenses, dry-docking expenditures, vessel residual
values, the probability of the vessel being sold and the remaining
estimated life of our vessels. Our estimated charter rates are
based on rates under existing vessel contracts and market rates at
which we expect we can re-charter our vessels. Such market rates
for the first three years are based on prevailing market 3-year
time-charter rates and thereafter, a 10-year historical average of
actual spot-charter rates earned by our vessels, adjusted to
exclude years which management has determined are outliers. We
consider as outliers those years that have been impacted by rare
events or circumstances that have distorted the historical 10-year
trailing average to such a degree that this average is not
representative of what a reasonable outlook would be if we do not
exclude such years. We have identified such events in the current
10-year historical period as at December 31, 2022, which has
resulted in the exclusion of the years 2013 and 2021 from our
averages. Our estimated charter rates are discounted for the years
when the vessel age is 15 years and older, as compared to the
estimated charter rates for years when the vessel is younger than
15 years. Such discounts primarily reflect expectations of lower
utilization for older vessels.
Our estimates of vessel utilization, including estimated off-hire
time, are based on historical experience. Our estimates of
operating expenses and dry-docking expenditures are based on
historical operating and dry-docking costs as well as our
expectations of future inflation, operating and maintenance
requirements, and our vessel maintenance strategy. Vessel residual
values are a product of a vessel’s lightweight tonnage and an
estimated scrap rate per tonne. The probability of a vessel being
sold is based on our current plans and expectations. The remaining
estimated lives of our vessels used in our estimates of future cash
flows are consistent with those used in the calculations of
depreciation.
In our experience, certain assumptions relating to our estimates of
future cash flows are more predictable by their nature, including
estimated revenue under existing contract terms, ongoing operating
costs and remaining vessel life. Certain assumptions relating to
our estimates of future cash flows require more judgement and are
inherently less predictable, such as future charter rates beyond
the firm period of existing contracts, the probability and timing
of vessels being sold and vessel residual values, due to their
volatility. We believe that the assumptions used to estimate future
cash flows of our vessels are reasonable at the time they are made.
We can make no assurances, however, as to whether our estimates of
future cash flows, particularly future vessel charter rates or
vessel values, will be accurate.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions.
If we conclude that a vessel or equipment is impaired, we recognize
a loss in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value of
the asset over its fair value at the date of impairment. The
written-down amount becomes the new lower cost basis and will
result in a lower annual depreciation expense than for periods
before the vessel impairment. Consequently, any changes in our
estimates of future undiscounted cash flows may result in a
different conclusion as to if a vessel or equipment is impaired,
leading to a different impairment amount, including no impairment,
and a different future annual depreciation expense.
Consistent with our methodology in prior years, we have determined
that four of our vessels have a market value less than their
carrying value as of December 31, 2022. We consider these vessels
to be at a higher risk of future impairment as compared to other
vessels in our fleet. While the market values of these vessels are
below their carrying values, no impairment has been recognized on
any of these vessels during the fourth
quarter of 2022 as the estimated future undiscounted cash flows
relating to such vessels are greater than their carrying values and
GAAP does not allow an impairment to be recognized under this
circumstance.
These vessels do not necessarily represent vessels that would
likely be impaired in the next twelve months. The recognition of an
impairment in the future for these vessels may primarily depend
upon our deciding to dispose of the vessel instead of continuing to
operate it. In deciding whether to dispose of a vessel, we
determine whether it is economically preferable to sell the vessel
or continue to operate it. This assessment includes an estimation
of the net proceeds expected to be received if the vessel is sold
in its existing condition compared to the present value of the
vessel’s estimated future revenue, net of operating costs. Such
estimates are based on the terms of the existing charter, charter
market outlook, estimated future vessel values, and estimated
operating costs, given a vessel’s type, condition and age. In
addition, we typically do not dispose of a vessel that is servicing
a customer contract.
Our estimates of future cash flows are more sensitive to changes in
certain assumptions, such as future charter rates. However, for the
four vessels mentioned above where the undiscounted cash flows are
greater than the carrying values, even if, at December 31, 2022,
the 3-year time-charter rates and the 10-year historical average of
actual spot-charter rates earned by our vessels, adjusted to
exclude years which management has determined as outliers, was
reduced by 5% or 10%, none of those four vessels would have been
impaired.
Taxes
Description.
The expenses we recognize relating to taxes are based on our
income, statutory tax rates and our interpretations of the tax
regulations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We
review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new
information becomes available.
Judgments and Uncertainties.
We recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it
is more-likely-than-not that a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination by the
taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or
litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the
position. Tax laws are complex and subject to different
interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing
authorities. Significant judgment is required in evaluating
uncertainties.
Effect if Actual Results Differ from Assumptions.
If we determined that an uncertain tax position was sustained upon
examination, and such amount was in excess of the net amount
previously recognized, we would increase our net income or decrease
our net loss in the period such determination was made. Likewise,
if we determined that an uncertain tax position was not sustained
upon examination, we would typically decrease our net income or
increase our net loss in the period such determination was
made. See “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 21 – Income
Tax (Expense) Recovery” of this Annual Report. As at December 31,
2022, the total amount of recognized uncertain freight tax
liabilities was $42.0 million (relating to continuing
operations and discontinued operations as at December 31, 2021 -
$47.0 million and $26.4 million, respectively). If the uncertainty
about these freight tax liabilities is resolved in our favor, we
would concurrently reverse these liabilities.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA
represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before foreign
exchange gain (loss), other income (loss), (write-down) and gain
(loss) on sale of assets, adjustments for direct financing and
sales-type leases to a cash basis, amortization of in-process
revenue contracts, credit loss provision adjustments, unrealized
gains (losses) on derivative instruments, realized losses on
interest rate swaps, realized losses on interest rate swap
amendments and terminations, write-downs related to
equity-accounted investments, and equity income (loss). EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are used as supplemental financial performance
measures by management and by external users of our financial
statements, such as investors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA assist
our management and security holders by increasing the comparability
of our fundamental performance from period to period and against
the fundamental performance of other companies in our industry that
provide EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA-based information. This increased
comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially disparate
effects between periods or companies of interest expense, taxes,
depreciation or amortization (or other items in determining
Adjusted EBITDA), which items are affected by various and possibly
changing financing methods, capital structure and historical cost
basis and which items may significantly affect net income between
periods. We believe that including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
benefits security holders in (a) selecting between investing in us
and other investment alternatives and (b) monitoring our ongoing
financial and operational strength and health in order to assess
whether to continue to hold our equity, or debt securities, as
applicable.
Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as an
alternative to net income, operating income or any other measure of
financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net
income and operating income, and these measures may vary among
other companies. Therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented
below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies.
The following table reconciles our consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA to net income (loss) from continuing and discontinued
operations.
