compared to last quarter. The operating revenues decreased by $0.6 million, and

net decreased by $1.0 million. This leads to a net operating result of $14.2,

the quarters is that the Company took impairment on several vessels in a total

impairment is more or less in line with earlier quarters, due to the high
contract coverage. The difference is mainly related to change in total other
