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.

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.
•The
novel coronavirus (or
COVID-19)
pandemic is dynamic. The continuation of this pandemic, and the
emergence of other epidemic or pandemic crises, could have material
adverse effects on our business, results of operations, or
financial condition.
•Terrorist
attacks, increased hostilities, political change, or war, including
the unfolding war and geopolitical crisis between Ukraine and
Russia, 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.
•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 and distributions, increase our financial
leverage and result in dilution to our equityholders.
•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.
•Declining
market values of our vessels could adversely affect our liquidity
and result in breaches of our financing agreements.
•Over
time, the value of our vessels may decline, which could result in
both write-downs and an adverse effect on our operating
results.
•We
have recognized asset impairments in the past and we may recognize
additional impairments in the future.
•Teekay
Tankers anticipates that it 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.
•Our
insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to our
property or result from our operations.
•We
are green-recycling one FPSO unit and plan to decommission and/or
green-recycle our remaining FPSO units, which are scheduled to
generate limited additional revenue and for which we may be
required to incur significant costs.
•Teekay
Tankers has substantial debt levels and may incur additional
debt.
•Exposure
to interest rate fluctuations will result in fluctuations in our
cash flows and operating results.
•Use
of LIBOR is currently scheduled to cease, and interest rates on our
LIBOR-based obligations may increase in the future.
•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 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.
•We
may be unable to realize benefits from acquisitions and growth
through acquisitions may harm our financial condition and
performance.
•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 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.
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 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 U.S. 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 and inflation may
adversely affect our earnings and profitability. The cyclical
nature may also lead to volatile changes in charter rates and
significant fluctuations in the utilization of our
vessels.
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, as well as inflation, may cause significant increases or
decreases in our earnings and profitability we earn 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 conventional tanker vessels owned
by Teekay Tankers, which accounted for approximately 79% and 77% of
our consolidated revenues from continuing operations during 2021
and 2020, 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. 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 of the Teekay Gas Business, which operated primarily under
long-term, fixed-rate charter contracts, our revenues will be more
volatile and dependent on revenues generated by our tanker
fleet.
High oil prices could negatively impact tanker freight
rates.
Global crude oil prices increased through the course of 2021 and
reached a seven-year high in January 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. A sustained low energy price
environment may adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition and our ability to make cash
distributions, as a result of a number of factors, some of which
may be beyond our control, including:
•the
termination of production of oil at the fields we
service;
•lower
demand for vessels of the types we own and operate, which may
reduce available charter rates and revenue to us upon redeployment
of our vessels following expiration or termination of existing
contracts or upon the initial chartering of vessels, 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 cancelable 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
(hijacking and kidnapping);
•cyber-attack;
•acute-onset
illness 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 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.
The COVID-19 pandemic is dynamic. The continuation of this
pandemic, and the emergence of other epidemic or pandemic crises,
could have material adverse effects on our business, results of
operations, or financial condition.
The novel coronavirus pandemic is dynamic, including the
development of variants of the virus, and its ultimate scope,
duration and effects are uncertain. We expect that this pandemic,
and any future epidemic or pandemic crises, will result in direct
and indirect adverse effects on our industry and customers, which
in turn may impact our business, results of operations and
financial condition. The pandemic has resulted and may continue to
result in a significant decline in global demand for crude oil and
petroleum products. As our business includes the transportation of
oil and petroleum products on behalf of our customers, any
significant decrease in demand for the cargo we transport could
adversely affect demand for our vessels and services. COVID-19 has
been a contributing factor to the decline in spot tanker rates and
short-term time charter rates since May 2020 and has also increased
certain crewing-related costs, which has reduced our cash flows,
and was a contributing factor to the non-cash write-down of certain
tankers owned by Teekay Tankers and one FPSO unit, as described in
"Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 18 - (Write-down) and Gain
(Loss) on Sale".
Other effects of the current pandemic include, or may include,
among others:
•disruptions
to our operations as a result of the potential health impact on our
employees and crew, and on the workforces of our customers and
business partners;
•disruptions
to our business from, or additional costs related to, new
regulations, directives or practices implemented in response to the
pandemic, such as travel restrictions (including for any of our
onshore personnel or any of our crew members to timely embark or
disembark from our vessels), increased inspection regimes, hygiene
measures (such as quarantining and physical distancing) or
increased implementation of remote working
arrangements;
•supply
chain and other business disruptions from, or additional costs
related to, a limited supply of labor, parts or goods;
•potential
delays in the loading and discharging of cargo on or from our
vessels, and any related off hire due to quarantine, worker health,
or regulations, which in turn could disrupt our operations and
result in a reduction of revenue;
•potential
shortages or a lack of access to required spare parts for our
vessels, or potential delays in any repairs to, scheduled or
unscheduled maintenance or modifications, or dry docking of, our
vessels (including the currently scheduled dry docks for 10 of
Teekay Tankers' vessels in 2022), as a result of a lack of berths
available by shipyards from a shortage in labor or due to other
business disruptions;
•potential
delays in vessel inspections and related certifications by class
societies, customers or government agencies;
•potential
reduced cash flows and financial condition, including potential
liquidity constraints;
•reduced
access to capital, including the ability to refinance any existing
obligations, as a result of any credit tightening generally or due
to declines in global financial markets, including to the prices of
publicly-traded equity securities of us, our peers and of listed
companies generally;
•a
reduced ability to opportunistically sell any of our vessels on the
second-hand market, either as a result of a lack of buyers or a
general decline in the value of second-hand vessels;
•a
decline in the market value of our vessels, which may cause us to
(a) incur additional impairment charges or (b) breach certain
covenants under our financing agreements (including our secured
credit facility agreements and financial leases) relating to
vessel-to-loan covenants; and
•potential
deterioration in the financial condition and prospects of our
customers or the third-party owners whose ships we commercially
manage, or attempts by charterers, suppliers or receivers to invoke
force majeure contractual clauses as a result of delays or other
disruptions.
Although disruption and effects from the COVID-19 pandemic may be
moderated by vaccines, given the dynamic nature of these
circumstances and the worldwide nature of our business and
operations, the duration of any potential business disruption and
the related potential financial impact to us cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time but could materially affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition in the
future.
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 recent invasion of Ukraine, in addition to
sanctions announced in February and March 2022 by President Biden
and several European and 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 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 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.
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.
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 2021 and 2020 (2019 –
one customer for 13% or $160 million). 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
our breach 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.
If we lose a key customer, we may be unable to obtain replacement
long-term charters. If a customer exercises its right under some
charters to purchase the vessel, or terminate the charter, we may
be unable to acquire an adequate replacement vessel or charter. Any
replacement newbuilding would not generate revenues during its
construction and we may be unable to charter any replacement vessel
on terms as favorable to us as those of the terminated
charter.
The loss of any of our significant customers or a reduction in
revenues from them could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition and our
ability to pay dividends and service our debt.
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 and distributions, increase our
financial leverage and result in dilution to our
equityholders.
To fund existing and future debt obligations and capital
expenditures and to meet the minimum liquidity requirements under
the financial covenants in our credit facilities, we may be
required to obtain additional sources of financing, in addition to
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 cash dividends or distributions to security
holders or operate our businesses as currently conducted. In
addition, issuing additional equity securities may result in
significant equityholder dilution and would increase the aggregate
amount of cash required to maintain quarterly dividends and
distributions. The sale of certain assets will reduce cash from
operations and the cash available for distribution to
equityholders. 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 may reduce our and Teekay Tankers'
access to capital, particularly equity capital. Issuing additional
common equity is more dilutive and costly than it has been in the
past. 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 equityholders.
Declining market values of our vessels could adversely affect our
liquidity and result in breaches of our financing
agreements.
Market values of vessels fluctuate depending upon general economic
and market conditions affecting relevant markets and industries and
competition from other shipping companies and other modes of
transportation. In addition, as vessels become older, they
generally decline in value. Declining vessel values could adversely
affect our liquidity by limiting our ability to raise cash by
refinancing vessels. 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. If we are
unable to 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 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, 2021, the total outstanding debt credit
facilities and obligations under finance leases with this type of
loan-to-value covenant tied to conventional tanker values was
$620.3 million. We have two credit facilities and 14 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, 2021, we were in compliance with
these required ratios.
Over time, the value of our vessels may decline, which could
adversely affect 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.
Further, if we determine at any time that a vessel’s future useful
life and earnings 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 discretion
and are less predictable. We recognized asset impairment charges of
$92.4 million, $149.2 million and $183.9 million in 2021, 2020, and
2019, respectively, in relation to continuing operations. The 2021
charge included impairments of $66.9 million, $18.4 million, and
$6.4 million for four Suezmax tankers, three LR2 tankers and four
Aframax 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, and the
2019 charge included impairments of $178.3 million for three of our
FPSO units, the
Petrojarl Banff,
Sevan Hummingbird and Petrojarl
Foinaven.
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 our
investments in equity-accounted joint ventures 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.
Teekay Tankers anticipates that it 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.
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 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, lightering support vessels, transfer
of oil and FPSO units 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
may continue 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
underinsured 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 global 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. With the
recent sale of our Teekay Gas Business, we now own a smaller fleet,
which may impact our buying power and could lead to us having
increased insurance coverage costs.
We are green-recycling one FPSO unit and plan to decommission
and/or green-recycle our remaining FPSO units, which are scheduled
to generate limited additional revenue and for which we may be
required to incur significant costs.
In February 2022, Spirit Energy, the charterer of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit, provided a formal notice of termination of the FPSO
charter contract, indicating an expected cessation of production on
March 31, 2022 and a charter termination date of approximately May
16, 2022. In conjunction with Spirit Energy, Teekay is currently
planning for the decommissioning of the unit from the Chestnut
Field. Our estimates of decommissioning costs may change and differ
from actual costs required to decommission and recycle the
unit.
In April 2021, BP plc announced its decision to suspend production
from the Foinaven oil fields and permanently remove the
Petrojarl
Foinaven
FPSO unit from the site. In February 2022, BP plc provided formal
redelivery notice to us, indicating an expected redelivery date of
August 3, 2022, after which Teekay intends to recycle the unit in
accordance with EU ship recycling regulations. Upon redelivery of
the FPSO unit, we will receive a fixed lump sum payment of $11.6
million from BP, which we expect will cover the majority of the
cost of green-recycling the FPSO unit.
In the first quarter of 2020, CNR International (U.K.) Limited
(or
CNRI)
provided formal notice to us of its intention to decommission the
Banff field and remove the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit and the
Apollo Spirit
FSO 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 commenced decommissioning
activities during the second quarter of 2020 and into 2021. In May
2021, as a result of the Decommissioning Services Agreement
(or
DSA)
with CNRI, Teekay was deemed to have fulfilled its prior
decommissioning obligations associated with the Banff field. In May
2021, Teekay sold the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit to an EU-approved shipyard for recycling and the unit is
currently in the latter stages of green-recycling.
As a result of our strategy to wind down our FPSO business, we do
not anticipate significant revenue to be generated from our FPSO
units in the future and we will need to incur decommissioning and
recycling costs, which may be significant.
Teekay Tankers has substantial debt levels and may incur additional
debt.
As of December 31, 2021, our consolidated short-term debt,
long-term debt and obligations related to finance leases totaled
$991.0 million and we had the capacity to borrow an additional
$73.8 million under our revolving credit facilities. These credit
facilities may be used by us for general corporate purposes. In
addition to our consolidated debt, our total proportionate interest
in debt of a joint venture we do not control was $28.1 million as
of December 31, 2021, 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, reducing the funds
that would otherwise be available for operations, future business
opportunities, repurchases of equity securities and dividends to
shareholders;
•our
debt level 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
debt level 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.
Exposure to interest rate fluctuations will result in fluctuations
in our cash flows and operating results.
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily
through certain of our borrowings 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. In accordance with our risk management policy, we use
interest rate swaps on certain of our debt 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.
In addition, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of
non-performance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap
agreements. For further information about our financial instruments
at December 31, 2021 that are sensitive to changes in interest
rates, please read "Item 11 - Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk".
Use of LIBOR is currently scheduled to cease, and interest rates on
our LIBOR-based obligations may increase in the
future.
LIBOR is the subject of recent national, international and other
regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. As of December 31,
2021, 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, in conjunction with
the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee
comprised of large U.S. financial institutions has selected SOFR as
an alternative, which is a new index calculated by short-term
repurchase agreements backed by Treasury securities. SOFR is
observed and backward-looking, which stands in contrast with LIBOR
under the current methodology, which is an estimated
forward-looking rate and relies, to some degree, on the expert
judgment of submitting panel members. Whether or not SOFR attains
market acceptance as a LIBOR replacement tool remains in question
and there can be no assurance that the transition to a new
benchmark rate or other financial metric will be an adequate
alternative to LIBOR or produce the economic equivalent of LIBOR.
As a result, it is not possible at this time to know the ultimate
impact that the phase-out of LIBOR may have.
While 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, if
LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change
from their current form, there may be adverse impacts on the
financial markets generally and interest rates on borrowings under
our revolving credit facilities, term loan facilities, interest
rate swaps and finance lease facilities may be materially adversely
affected.
In addition, we may need to renegotiate certain LIBOR-based credit
facilities or interest rate derivatives agreements, which could
adversely impact our cost of debt. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to modify existing documentation or renegotiate
existing transactions before the discontinuation of
LIBOR.
As at December 31, 2021, our revolving credit facilities, term loan
facilities, interest rate swaps and finance lease facilities
continued to use LIBOR. In January 2022, we amended one working
capital loan facility to daily SOFR. We anticipate that new
financings and interest rate swaps will require utilization of an
alternative reference rate. Some of our existing facilities and
interest rate swaps will likely be amended to SOFR or an
alternative reference rate during 2022 prior to LIBOR ceasing on
June 30, 2023.
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, lease obligations, 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 may
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 lease obligations
require us to comply with certain financial covenants. Our ability
to comply with covenants and restrictions contained in debt
instruments and finance lease obligations 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 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 imposed sanctions on
Russia starting in 2014 based on Russia’s involvement in divesting
control by Ukraine of the Crimea region. Beginning in February
2022, the United States and numerous other nations imposed
substantial additional sanctions on Russia for its invasion of
Ukraine. In addition, general trade tensions between the United
States and China escalated in 2018 and continued through much of
2019, with the United States imposing a series of tariffs on China
and China responding by imposing tariffs on United States products;
during the last quarter of 2019, the United States and China
negotiated 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 in large part 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 and British Pounds under
some of our charters. 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 guidelines, 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 rate 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.
We may be unable to make or realize expected benefits from
acquisitions and growth through acquisitions may harm our financial
condition and performance.
A principal component of our long-term strategy is to continue to
grow by expanding our business both in the geographic areas and
markets where we have historically focused as well as into new
geographic areas, market segments and 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, which would decrease the time they have to
manage our existing business, service existing customers and
attract new customers;
•difficulties
identifying suitable acquisition candidates;
•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;
•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.
Acquisitions may not be profitable to us at the time of their
completion and may not generate revenues sufficient to justify our
investment. In addition, our acquisition 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; 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 flow and reduce our
liquidity.
Teekay Tankers may expend substantial sums during the construction
of potential future newbuildings or upgrades to their 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
pre-arranged. 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 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, Sudan, Iran, Yemen,
Venezuela and Russia. The European Union (which at the time
included the United Kingdom, which now operates independently)
lifted its previously enacted sanctions on Iran in January 2016. At
that time, the United States lifted its secondary sanctions on
Iran, which applied to foreign persons but the Trump administration
reintroduced these and retained its primary sanctions which apply
to U.S. entities and their foreign subsidiaries.
Beginning in February 2022, the United States and numerous other
nations, notably including the European Union and United Kingdom,
imposed substantial additional sanctions on Russia regarding its
invasion of Ukraine, and these have been increasing. 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.
In the past, oil tankers owned or chartered-in by us, or
third-party vessels participating in RSAs from which we derive
revenue, have 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.
We believe these historical port calls will not adversely impact
our business, because they were legal at the time and 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 have previously called on, or through our
participation in RSAs have 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 (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
(the
CFA).
We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated
entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees
and agents may take actions determined to be in violation of such
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 may be adopted. The International Maritime Organization
(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
could 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 (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 EU 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”. Bermuda and
the Marshall Islands were removed from the blacklist in May and
October 2019, respectively. Subsequently, in February 2020, Bermuda
and the Marshall Islands were "white-listed" by the EU and the
Marshall Islands continue to remain on such list. On February 24,
2022, Bermuda was placed on the "grey list" but is expected to be
moved back to the “white list” in October of 2022, subject to
review by the EU Council. While being on the “grey list”, it is
expected that Bermuda will not suffer any direct penalties or
sanctions from the EU states.
EU member states have agreed upon a set of measures, which they can
choose to apply against the listed 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. EU legislation prohibits EU funds from being channeled
or transited through entities in countries on the blacklist.
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 are 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.
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.
Most recently, 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. The EU
has adopted the General Data Privacy Regulation (or
GDPR),
a comprehensive legal framework to govern data collection, use and
sharing and related consumer privacy rights, which took effect in
May 2018. The GDPR includes 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
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 2022 tax year, the increase
in our cash assets from our sale of all our interests in Seapeak to
Stonepeak in January 2022 has increased our risk that U.S. tax
authorities could treat us as a PFIC, 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 taxable 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 cash equivalents (or
cash assets) are considered to be assets that produce passive
income. We have experienced a significant change in the composition
of our assets as a result of our receipt of substantial cash assets
in connection with the sale of all of our interests in Seapeak to
Stonepeak in January 2022. 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 2022 taxable 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 for the 2022 taxable year and for future taxable years. If any
such case were to occur, our PFIC status for the 2022 taxable year
and future taxable years may also depend on how, and how quickly,
if at all, we use our existing cash assets. Accordingly, there can
be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the 2022 taxable
year or any future taxable year under the PFIC asset
test.
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
2022 taxable year or any future taxable 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 taxable 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".
In addition, if we or the IRS were to determine that we are or have
been a PFIC, the price of our shares of common stock may decline
and our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms may be
materially and adversely affected.
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. 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 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.

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).
We currently have an economic ownership interest of 31.3% in Teekay
Tankers and hold 55.6% of the voting power of Teekay Tankers,
through our ownership of shares of 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 transfer
business that performs full service lightering and lightering
support operations in the U.S. Gulf and Caribbean. Please read “–
B. Operations – Our 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 net debt
free. As a result, in addition to our interests in Teekay Tankers
highlighted above, Teekay Parent currently has a net cash position
of over $300 million as well as direct business operations in
Australia through the provision of operational and maintenance
marine services to third parties, and provides marine and corporate
services to Teekay Tankers through its various management services
companies. Teekay Parent also currently owns two FPSO units, one of
which is expected to be green-recycled following its scheduled
redelivery in August 2022. The remaining FPSO unit's contract is
scheduled to terminate in May 2022, after which the unit may be
green-recycled absent entering into an acceptable replacement
charter contract or outright sale. Please read “– B. Operations –
Teekay Parent”.
Teekay Parent has developed extensive industry experience and
industry-leading capabilities over its nearly 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 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 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.Operations
Subsequent to the sale of the Teekay Gas Business, we currently
have three primary lines of business: conventional tankers,
operational and maintenance marine services, and offshore
production (FPSO
units). We manage these businesses for the benefit of all
stakeholders. We allocate capital and assess performance from the
separate perspectives Teekay Tankers and Teekay Parent, as well as
from the perspective of the lines of business (the
Line of Business approach).
The primary focus of our organizational structure, internal
reporting and allocation of resources by the chief operating
decision maker, is on Teekay Tankers and Teekay Parent (the
Legal Entity approach).
However, we continue to incorporate the Line of Business approach
as in certain cases there is more than one line of business in each
of Teekay Tankers and Teekay Parent, and we believe this
information allows a better understanding of our performance and
prospects for future net cash flows.
Teekay Tankers
Teekay Tankers owns all of our conventional crude oil tankers and
product carriers. Our conventional crude oil tankers and product
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. We
consider contracts that have an original term of less than one year
in duration to be short-term. Certain of our conventional crude oil
tankers and product tankers are on fixed-rate time-charter
contracts with an initial duration of at least one
year.
Most of Teekay Tankers’ conventional tankers operate pursuant to
revenue sharing agreements (or
RSAs).
The RSAs, which are managed by Teekay Tankers, are designed to
spread the costs and risks associated with operation of vessels and
to share the net revenues (revenues less voyage expenses and other
applicable expenses) 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 performance capabilities of each
vessel are adjusted on standard intervals based on current data. In
addition, 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 of
third-party vessel owners, based on their responsibilities in
employing the vessels subject to the RSAs on voyage charters or
time-charters. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 45 of
Teekay Tankers' owned and leased vessels and three of Teekay
Tankers' time-chartered in vessels operated in the spot market
through employment on spot voyage charters. As of December 31,
2021, a total of 26 of Teekay Tankers' Suezmax tankers, seven of
the Aframax tankers and nine of the LR2 product tankers in its
fleet, as well as 13 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.
Teekay Tankers’ vessels compete primarily in the Aframax and
Suezmax tanker markets. In these markets, international seaborne
oil and other petroleum products transportation services are
provided by two main types of operators: captive fleets of major
oil companies (both private and state-owned) and independent
ship-owner fleets. Many major oil companies and other oil trading
companies, the primary charterers of our vessels, also operate
their own vessels and transport their own oil and oil for
third-party charterers in direct competition with independent
owners and operators. Competition for charters in the Aframax and
Suezmax spot charter market is intense and is based upon price,
location, the size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel,
and the reputation of the vessel’s manager.
Teekay Tankers competes principally with other owners in the
spot-charter market through the global tanker charter market. This
market is comprised of tanker broker companies that represent both
charterers and ship-owners in chartering transactions. Within this
market, some transactions, referred to as “market cargoes,” are
offered by charterers through two or more brokers simultaneously
and shown to the widest possible range of owners; other
transactions, referred to as “private cargoes,” are given by the
charterer to only one broker and shown selectively to a limited
number of owners whose tankers are most likely to be acceptable to
the charterer and are in position to undertake the
voyage.
Teekay Tankers’ competition in the Aframax (85,000 to 124,999 dwt)
market is also affected by the availability of other size vessels
that compete in that market. Suezmax (125,000 to 199,999 dwt)
vessels and Panamax (55,000 to 84,999 dwt) vessels can compete for
many of the same charters for which our Aframax tankers compete;
Aframax size vessels and VLCCs (200,000 to 319,999 dwt) can compete
for many of the same charters for which our Suezmax tankers may
compete. Because of their large size, Very Large Crude Carriers
(or
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)
(85,000 to 109,999 dwt) 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 can compete for many of the same
charters for which Teekay Tankers' LR2 tankers
compete.
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.
Teekay Tankers believes that it has competitive advantages in the
Aframax and Suezmax tanker market as a result of the quality, type
and dimensions of its vessels and its market share in the
Indo-Pacific and Atlantic Basins. As of December 31, 2021, its
Aframax/LR2 tanker fleet had an average age of approximately 12.8
years and its Suezmax tanker fleet had an average age of
approximately 12.0 years. This compares to an average age for the
world oil tanker fleet of approximately 11.6 years, for the world
Aframax/LR2 tanker fleet of approximately 11.3 years and for the
world Suezmax tanker fleet of approximately 10.7
years.
Teekay Tankers acquired a ship-to-ship transfer business (now known
as Teekay Marine Solutions or
TMS)
in July 2015 from a company jointly owned by Teekay and I.M.
Skaugen SE. TMS provided a full suite of ship-to-ship transfer
services in the oil, gas and dry bulk industries. In addition to
full service lightering and lightering support, it also provided
consultancy, terminal management and project development services.
In April 2020, Teekay Tankers sold off its non-U.S. portion of the
TMS business, as well as its liquefied natural gas (or
LNG)
terminal management business.
Teekay Parent
Teekay Parent currently owns two FPSO units and directly conducts
business in Australia through the provision of operational and
maintenance marine services to third parties, and provides marine
and corporate services to Teekay Tankers through its various
management services companies. 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.
FPSO Units
FPSO units are offshore production facilities that are ship-shaped
or cylindrical-shaped and store processed crude oil in tanks
located in the hull of the vessel. FPSO units are typically used as
production facilities to develop marginal oil fields or deepwater
areas remote from existing pipeline infrastructure. An FPSO unit
carries on board all the necessary production and processing
facilities normally associated with a fixed production
platform.
Traditionally for large field developments, the major oil companies
have owned and operated new, custom-built FPSO units. FPSO units
for smaller fields have generally been provided by independent FPSO
contractors under life-of-field production contracts, where the
contract’s duration is for the useful life of the oil field. Most
independent FPSO contractors have backgrounds in marine energy
transportation, oil field services or oil field engineering and
construction.
Our
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit is on a charter contract with Spirit Energy Ltd.
(or
Spirit Energy)
in the North Sea. The contract is based on a fixed charter rate and
is subject to early termination options. In February 2022, Spirit
Energy provided to us a formal notice of termination of the FPSO
charter contract, indicating an expected cessation of production on
March 31, 2022 and a charter termination date of approximately May
16, 2022. In conjunction with Spirit Energy, Teekay is currently
planning for the decommissioning of the unit from the Chestnut
Field.
In March 2020, Teekay Parent entered into a new bareboat charter
contract with the existing charterer of the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit. Under the terms of the new contract, Teekay Parent
received a cash payment of $67 million in April 2020 and will
receive a nominal per day rate over the life of the contract and a
lump sum payment at the end of the contract period. In February
2022, BP plc provided to us formal redelivery notice, indicating an
expected redelivery date of August 3, 2022, after which Teekay
intends to recycle the unit in accordance with EU ship recycling
regulations. Upon redelivery of the FPSO unit, we will receive a
fixed lump sum payment of $11.6 million from BP which we expect
will cover the majority of the cost of green-recycling the FPSO
unit.
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 the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit and the related
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 commenced decommissioning
activities during the second quarter of 2020 and into 2021. In May
2021, Teekay was deemed to have fulfilled its prior decommissioning
obligations associated with the Banff field. In May 2021, Teekay
sold the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit to an EU-approved shipyard for recycling and the unit is
currently in the latter stages of green-recycling.
Our Consolidated Fleet under Management
As at March 1, 2022, Teekay Parent and Teekay Tankers operated
under management a fleet of approximately 55 vessels (excluding
vessels managed for third parties), including chartered-in vessels
but excluding an Aframax tanker newbuilding that is scheduled to be
delivered in the fourth quarter of 2022 under a seven-year time
charter-in contract. The following table summarizes our fleet under
management as at March 1, 2022:

is 50%-owned by Teekay Tankers.
Our vessels are of Bahamian, Hong Kong, and Marshall Islands
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” 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) that
became effective in 2013. The management system is certified by Det
Norske Veritas (or
DNV),
the Norwegian classification society. It has also been separately
approved by the Australian and Spanish flag administrations.
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 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 since
2021.
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 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 2021 or 2020 (2019 – one customer for 13% or $160 million).
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 will be applicable for 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. We have not installed any scrubbers on our conventional
tanker fleet. At present, neither the IMO nor the International
Organization for Standardization has implemented globally accepted
quality standards for 0.50% m/m fuel oil. 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 year 2019 and 2020. 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 2021 has been
completed, and the verification of the data is ongoing by DNV who
are the authorized verifiers. The process is expected to be
completed by end of April 2022.
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 in 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 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 deploy a type approved BWTS which is compliant with
USCG regulations. The USCG has approved a number of BWTSs both
nationally and internationally, out of which
Alfa Laval
(Sweden),
Ocean Saver
(Norway),
Techcross,
and
De Nora
are under Teekay’s approved list for retrofit. We estimate that the
installation of approved BWTS will cost approximately $1.5 million
per vessel between the years 2022 and 2023.
MARPOL Annex I also state 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 for 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, shall now be
classified as per the criteria in the new Appendix I of MARPOL
Annex V,
and the shipper shall then declare 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.
The IMO has also adopted an International Code for Ships Operating
in Polar Waters (or
Polar Code)
which deals with matters regarding the design, construction,
equipment, operation, search and rescue and environmental
protection in relation to ships operating in waters surrounding the
two poles. The Polar Code includes both safety and environmental
provisions. The Polar Code and related amendments entered into
force in January 2017. The Polar Code is mandatory for new vessels
built after January 1, 2017. For existing ships, this code
will be applicable from the first intermediate or renewal survey,
whichever occurs first, beginning on or after January 1, 2018. All
of our vessels trading in this area are fully compliant with the
Polar Code.
MSC 91 adopted amendments to SOLAS Regulation II-2/10 to clarify
that a minimum of two-way portable radiotelephone apparatus 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 should 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.
As per MSC. 338(91), requirements have been highlighted for audio
and visual indicators for breathing apparatus which will alert the
user before the volume of the 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. As of July 2021, verification audits of our
Document of Compliance have been completed.
The Maritime Labour Convention (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 labour conventions and recommendations, as
well as the fundamental principles to be found in other
international labour conventions. All of our maritime labour
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 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 2021 calendar year has been completed and emission reports
for the vessels which have carried out EU voyages have been
submitted in the THETIS Database. 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 latest by December 31,
2020. Teekay Tankers contracted with a class-approved HazMat 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.
North Sea
Our FPSO units operate in the North Sea.
There is no international regime in force which deals with
compensation for oil pollution from offshore craft such as FPSOs.
Whether the CLC and the International Convention on the
Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil
Pollution Damage 1971, as amended by the 1992 Protocol (or
the
Fund Convention),
which deal with liability and compensation for oil pollution and
the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims 1976,
as amended by the 1996 Protocol (or the
1976 Limitation of Liability Convention),
which deals with limitation of liability for maritime claims, apply
to FPSOs is neither straightforward nor certain. This is due to the
definition of “ship” under these conventions and the requirement
that oil is “carried” onboard the relevant vessel. Nevertheless,
the wording of the 1992 Protocol to the CLC leaves room for arguing
that FPSOs and oil pollution caused by them can come under the
ambit of these conventions for the purposes of liability and
compensation. However, the application of these conventions also
depends on their implementation by the relevant domestic laws of
the countries which are parties to them.
The UK’s Merchant Shipping Act 1995, as amended (or
MSA),
implements the CLC but uses a wider definition of a “ship” than the
one used in the CLC and in its 1992 Protocol but still refers to
the criteria used by the CLC. It is therefore doubtful that FPSOs
fall within its wording. However, the MSA also includes separate
provisions for liability for oil pollution. These apply to vessels
which fall within a much wider definition and include non-seagoing
vessels. It is arguable that the wording of these MSA provisions is
wide enough to cover oil pollution caused by offshore crafts such
as FPSOs. The liability regime under these MSA provisions is
similar to that imposed under the CLC but limitation of liability
is subject to the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention regime
(as implemented in the MSA).
With regard to the 1976 Limitation of Liability Convention, it is,
again, doubtful whether it applies to FPSOs, as it contains certain
exceptions in relation to vessels constructed for or adapted to and
engaged in drilling and in relation to floating platforms
constructed for the purpose of exploring or exploiting natural
resources of the seabed or its subsoil. However, these exceptions
are not included in the legislation implementing the 1976
Limitation of Liability Convention in the UK, which is also to be
found in the MSA. In addition, the MSA sets out a very wide
definition of “ship” in relation to which the 1976 Limitation of
Liability Convention is to apply and there is room for argument
that if FPSOs fall within that definition of “ship”, they are
subject in the UK to the limitation provisions of the 1976
Limitation of Liability Convention.
In the absence of an international regime regulating liability and
compensation for oil pollution caused by offshore oil and gas
facilities, the Offshore Pollution Liability Agreement 1974 was
entered into by a number of oil companies and became effective in
1975. This is a voluntary industry oil pollution compensation
scheme which is funded by the parties to it. These are operators or
intending operators of offshore facilities used in the exploration
for and production of oil and gas located within the jurisdictions
of a number of “Designated States” which include the UK, Denmark,
Norway, Germany, France, Greenland, Ireland, the Netherlands, the
Isle of Man and the Faroe Islands. The scheme provides for strict
liability of the relevant operator for pollution damage and
remedial costs, subject to a limit, and the operators must provide
evidence of financial responsibility in the form of insurance or
other security to meet the liability under the scheme.
With regard to FPSOs, Chapter 7 of Annex I of MARPOL (which
contains regulations for the prevention of oil pollution) sets out
special requirements for fixed and floating platforms, including,
amongst others, FPSOs and floating storage units (or
FSU).
The IMO’s MEPC has issued guidelines for the application of MARPOL
Annex I requirements to FPSOs and FSUs.
The EU’s Directive 2004/35/CE on environmental liability with
regard to the prevention and remedying of environmental damage (or
the
Environmental Liability Directive)
deals with liability for environmental damage on the basis of the
“polluter pays” principle. Environmental damage includes damage to
protected species and natural habitats and damage to water and
land. Under this Directive, operators whose activities caused
environmental damage or the imminent threat of such damage are to
be held liable for the damage (subject to certain exceptions). With
regard to environmental damage caused by specific activities listed
in the Directive, operators are strictly liable. This is without
prejudice to their right to limit their liability in accordance
with national legislation implementing the 1976 Limitation of
Liability Convention. The Directive applies both to damage which
has already occurred and where there is an imminent threat of
damage. It also requires the relevant operator to take preventive
action, to report an imminent threat and any environmental damage
to the regulators and to perform remedial measures, such as
clean-up. The Environmental Liability Directive is implemented in
the UK by the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation)
Regulations 2015.
In June 2013, the EU adopted Directive 2013/30/EU on safety of
offshore oil and gas operations and amending Directive 2004/35/EC
(or the
Offshore Safety Directive).
This Directive lays down minimum requirements for member states and
the European Maritime Safety Agency for the purposes of reducing
the occurrence of major accidents related to offshore oil and gas
operations, thus increasing protection of the marine environment
and coastal economies against pollution, establishing minimum
conditions for safe offshore exploration and exploitation of oil
and gas, and limiting disruptions to the EU’s energy production and
improving responses to accidents. The Offshore Safety Directive
sets out extensive requirements, such as preparation of a major
hazard report with risk assessment, emergency response plan and
safety and environmental management system applicable to the
relevant oil and gas installation before the planned commencement
of the operations, independent verification of safety and
environmental critical elements identified in the risk assessment
for the relevant oil and gas installation, and ensuring that
factors such as the applicant’s safety and environmental
performance and its financial capabilities or security to meet
potential liabilities arising from the oil and gas operations are
taken into account when considering granting a
license.
Under the Offshore Safety Directive, Member States are to ensure
that the relevant licensee is financially liable for the prevention
and remediation of environmental damage (as defined in the
Environmental Liability Directive) caused by offshore oil and gas
operations carried out by or on behalf of the licensee or the
operator. Member States must lay down rules on penalties applicable
to infringements of the legislation adopted pursuant to this
Directive. Member States were required to bring into force laws,
regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with
this Directive by July 19, 2015. The Offshore Safety Directive has
been implemented in the UK by a number of different UK Regulations,
including the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation)
(England) Regulations 2015, as amended, (which revoked and replaced
the Environmental Damage (Prevention and Remediation) Regulations
2015) and the Offshore Installations (Offshore Safety Directive)
(Safety Case etc.) Regulations 2015, as amended, both of which
entered into force on July 19, 2015.
In addition to the regulations imposed by the IMO and EU, countries
having jurisdiction over North Sea areas impose regulatory
requirements in connection with operations in those areas,
including HSE in the United Kingdom and NPD in Norway. These
regulatory requirements, together with additional requirements
imposed by operators in North Sea oil fields, require that we make
further expenditures for sophisticated equipment, reporting and
redundancy systems on FPSOs and for the training of seagoing staff.
Additional regulations and requirements may be adopted or imposed
that could further increase the cost of doing business in the North
Sea.
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 Oil Pollution Act of 1990
(or
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 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 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 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 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 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. The Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (or
VIDA)
was signed into law on December 4, 2018 and establishes a new
framework for the regulation of vessel incidental discharges under
the CWA. VIDA requires the EPA to develop performance standards for
approximately 30 discharges by December 2020 (similar to the
discharges in the EPA 2013 VGP). 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
thereafter, the USCG is required to develop corresponding
implementation, compliance, and enforcement regulations. These may
include requirements governing the design, construction, testing,
approval, installation and use of devices to achieve the EPA
national standards of performance (or
NSPs).
Under VIDA, all provisions of the VGP remain in force and effect as
currently written until the USCG regulations are finalized. 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 Vessel General Permit and,
in some cases, may require vessels to install ballast water
treatment technology to meet biological performance standards.
Every five years the Vessel General Permit gets reissued, however
the provisions of the 2013 VGP, as currently written, will apply
beyond 2018, until the EPA publishes new NSPs
and the USCG develops implementing regulations for those NSPs which
could take up to four years.
Since January 1, 2014, the California Air Resources Board has
required that vessels that burn fuel within 24 nautical miles of
California burn fuel with 0.1% sulfur content or less.
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: developing and maintaining a Biofouling Management Plan,
developing and maintaining a Biofouling Record Book, mandatory
biofouling management of the vessel’s wetted surfaces, mandatory
biofouling management for vessels that undergo an extended
residency period (e.g. remain in the same location for 45 or more
days). All vessels calling in California waters were required to
submit the "Annual Marine Invasive Reporting Form" by October 1,
2017 and should have a CA-Biofouling management plan after a
vessel’s first regularly scheduled dry dock after January 1, 2018,
or upon delivery on or 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 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 area) 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 area are to use the fuel oil with 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 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 will need to have
a clean hull. Vessels staying up to 20 days and only visiting
designated ports (places of first arrival) will be 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 ports 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 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 2022. 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 2022 (in the absence of a comparable system operating under
the IMO), it appears that the decision to include shipping may be
deferred until 2023.
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 for 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
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, 2022. Please read Exhibit 8.1 to this
Annual Report for a list of our subsidiaries as at March 1,
2022.
(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 55.6% as of March 1,
2022.
(2)Teekay
Corporation owns 31.3% of Class A and Class B common stock through
Teekay Holdings Limited (Bermuda)'s ownership of 28.6% and Teekay
Corporation's direct ownership of 2.7%.
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, 2021, Teekay
Tankers’ fleet included 15 double-hull Aframax tankers (including
two chartered-in vessels), 26 double-hull Suezmax tankers, 10
product tankers (including one chartered-in vessel), 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.
Teekay Parent owns two FPSO units, in addition to its interests in
its subsidiaries. For additional information about Teekay Tankers
please read "Item 4B – Information on the Company – Operations".
Please also read “Item 5 – Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – Structure”.
D.Property,
Plant and Equipment
Other than our vessels, we do not have any material property.
Please read “Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 8 – Long-Term
Debt" 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 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 2021 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 2021, 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 $5.6 million. In addition, with respect to our
taxable year ending in 2021, we estimate that our former subsidiary
Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (now known as Seapeak LLC) was unable to
claim the Section 883 Exemption and was subject to approximately
$2.4 million in U.S. federal income tax on the U.S. source portion
of its U.S. Source International Transportation Gross Income for
2021. 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

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 –

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Overview
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).
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. Concurrent with closing of the
transaction, Teekay and Teekay LNG Partners entered into a
transition services agreement whereby each party will provide
certain services, consisting primarily of corporate services that
were previously shared by the entire Teekay organization, to the
other party for a period of months following closing to allow for
the orderly separation of these functions into two standalone
operations.
Following completion of these transactions, Teekay Parent repaid
nearly all of its debt and is now net debt free with our remaining
balance sheet consisting of our controlling interest in
publicly-listed Teekay Tankers Ltd. (or
Teekay Tankers),
our direct ownership in two floating production storage and
offloading (or
FPSO)
units, our marine services business in Australia, and a net cash
position of over $300 million. Teekay and its current subsidiaries,
other than Teekay Tankers, are referred to herein as "Teekay
Parent".
Effective on February 25, 2022, Teekay LNG Partners L.P. converted
from a limited partnership formed under the laws of the Republic of
the Marshall Islands into a limited liability company formed under
the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and changed its
name from “Teekay LNG Partners L.P.” to “Seapeak LLC”.
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 the
voting interests of Teekay LNG Partners through our 100% ownership
of the sole general partner interest of Teekay LNG
Partners.
As of December 31, 2021, we had economic interests in Teekay
LNG Partners and Teekay Tankers of 42.4% and 29.8%, respectively.
As of the date of this report, we no longer have an economic
interest in Seapeak and we have an economic interest in Teekay
Tankers of 31.3%.
In 2007, we formed Teekay Tankers to expand our oil tanker
business. Teekay Tankers holds all of our oil tanker assets and
engages in a mix of 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. In addition to Teekay Parent’s investment in Teekay
Tankers, Teekay Parent continues to own two FPSO units, conducts
business in Australia through the provision of operational and
maintenance marine services, and provides marine and corporate
services to Teekay Tankers.
Teekay has developed extensive industry experience and
industry-leading capabilities over its nearly 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 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.
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 voyage charters, time
charters accounted for under operating and sales-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 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.
(Loss) Income 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. and annual class survey costs for our
FPSO units. 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 (loss) income
in these consolidated financial statements 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.
•The
COVID-19 pandemic is dynamic and could have material adverse
effects on our business, results of operations or financial
conditions.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has had a significant impact on global
demand for crude oil and global supply chains. As our business
includes the transportation of oil and oil products on behalf of
our customers, any significant decrease in demand for or production
of the cargo we transport could adversely affect demand for our
vessels and services.
To date, we have not experienced any material business
interruptions as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. However,
COVID-19 has been a contributing factor to the decline in spot and
short-term time charter rates in our oil tanker business since
mid-May 2020 and has also increased certain crewing-related costs,
which has had an impact on our cash flows. During the year ended
December 31, 2021, COVID-19 was a contributing factor to the
write-down of certain tankers of Teekay Tankers (2020 - certain
tankers of Teekay Tankers and one FPSO unit of Teekay Parent), as
described in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 18 -
(Write-down) and Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets". COVID-19 was also
a contributing factor to the reduction in certain tax accruals
during the year ended December 31, 2020, as described in "Item 18 –
Financial Statements: Note 21 - Income Tax Recovery (Expense)". We
continue to monitor the potential impact of the COVID-19 global
pandemic on us and our industry, including counterparty risk
associated with our vessels under contract and monitoring the
impact on potential vessel impairments. We have also introduced a
number of measures to protect the health and safety of the crews on
our vessels and our onshore staff.
Effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic may include, among others:
deterioration of worldwide, regional or national economic
conditions and activity and of demand for oil; operational
disruptions to us or our customers due to worker health risks and
the effects of new regulations, directives or practices implemented
in response to the pandemic (such as travel restrictions for
individuals and vessels and quarantining and physical distancing);
potential delays in (a) the loading and discharging of cargo on or
from our vessels, (b) vessel inspections and related certifications
by class societies, customers or government agencies, (c)
maintenance, modifications or repairs to, or drydocking of, our
existing vessels due to worker health or other business
disruptions, and (d) the timing of crew changes; supply chain
disruptions; reduced cash flow and financial condition, including
potential liquidity constraints; potential reduced access to
capital as a result of any credit tightening generally or due to
continued declines in global financial markets; potential reduced
ability to opportunistically sell any of our vessels on the
second-hand market, either as a result of a lack of buyers or a
general decline in the value of second-hand vessels; potential
decreases in the market values of our vessels and any related
impairment charges or breaches relating to vessel-to-loan financial
covenants; and potential deterioration in the financial condition
and prospects of our customers or business partners.
Given the dynamic nature of the pandemic, including the development
of variants of the virus, and the levels of effectiveness and
delivery of vaccines and other actions to contain or treat its
impact of the virus, the duration of any potential business
disruption and the related financial impact, and the effects on us
and our suppliers, customers and industry, cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time and could materially affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition. Please read
“Item 3 – Key Information - Risk Factors” in this Annual
Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 for
additional information about the potential risks of COVID-19 on our
business.
•Vessel
operating and other costs are facing industry-wide cost
pressures.
We continue to maintain our operating expense increases at near
inflationary levels; however, regulatory compliance has increased
cost pressures on operators in recent years which may lead to
increased operational expenses in the future. In 2021, COVID-19
contributed to some logistical challenges, causing us to defer the
scheduled maintenance for certain of our vessels from 2021 to 2022.
Additionally, due to increased length of stay for seafarers on
board the vessels, we have had an increase in crewing
costs.
•The
amount and timing of dry dockings and major modifications of our
vessels can affect our revenues between periods. Our
vessels are off-hire at various times due to scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance. During 2021 and 2020, on a consolidated
basis, excluding amounts related to the Teekay Gas Business and
excluding the vessel in our equity-accounted joint venture, we
incurred 611 and 520 off-hire days relating to dry docking and
ballast water treatment systems (or
BWTS)
installations, respectively. The financial impact from these
periods of off-hire, if material, is explained in further detail
below in "– Results of Operations”. During 2022, 10 of our owned
and leased vessels are scheduled for dry docking (excluding the
vessel in our equity-accounted joint venture and three owned and
leased vessels that are scheduled for BWTS installation without
drydocking), compared to 10 vessels which dry docked during 2021
(excluding four vessels that were off hire while installing
BWTS).
•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 translations fluctuate based on the
strength of the U.S. Dollar relative mainly to the Euro and GBP 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 but do not currently impact our cash
flows.
•The
charterer of the Sevan Hummingbird FPSO unit exercised its option
for early termination of the FPSO contract with a scheduled
termination date in May 2022. We need to seek to redeploy, sell or
recycle the unit.
Teekay is currently planning for the decommissioning of the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit from the Chestnut Field. Our estimates of decommissioning
costs may change and differ from actual costs required to
decommission and recycle the unit.
•We
do not control access to cash flow generated by our investment in
our equity-accounted joint venture.
We do not have control over the operations of, nor do we have any
legal claim to the revenue and expenses of our investment in, our
equity-accounted joint venture. Consequently, the cash flow
generated by our investment in equity-accounted joint venture may
not be available for use by us in the period that such cash flows
are generated.
•Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine could have material adverse effects on our
business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, in addition to sanctions announced in
February and March 2022 by President Biden and several European and
world leaders and nations against Russia and any further sanctions,
may adversely impact our business given Russia’s role as a major
global exporter of crude oil and natural gas. Our business could be
harmed by trade tariffs, trade embargoes or other economic
sanctions by the United States or other countries against Russia,
Russian companies or the Russian energy sector and harmed by any
retaliatory measures by Russia in response. While much uncertainty
remains regarding the global impact of Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine, it is possible that the hostilities could adversely affect
our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash
flows. Furthermore, it is possible that third parties with whom we
have charter contracts or business arrangements may be impacted by
events in Russia and Ukraine, which could adversely affect our
operations and financial condition.

Summary
Our consolidated loss from vessels operations, which excludes the
Teekay Gas Business, decreased to ($185.4) million for the year
ended December 31, 2021, compared to income from vessel
operations of $70.2 million in the prior year. The primary reasons
for this decrease are as follows:
•a
net decrease of $213.3 million as a result of lower overall average
realized spot TCE rates earned by Teekay Tankers' Suezmax tankers,
Aframax tankers and LR2 product tankers, as well as lower earnings
from its full service lightering (or
FSL)
dedicated vessels;
•a
net decrease of $91.0 million due to various Teekay Tankers'
vessels on time-charter out contracts earning lower fixed rates
during the first half of 2021 compared to the spot rates realized
during the first half of 2020 and various vessels returning from
time-charter out contracts earning lower spot rates during 2021
compared to previous fixed rates;
•a
decrease of $44.9 million due to a gain recognized on the
commencement of the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit's sales-type lease in the first quarter of 2020;
and
•a
decrease of $7.3 million due to more off-hire days and off-hire
bunker expenses related to increased dry dockings, BWTS
installations and vessel repairs, as well as higher overall bunker
costs in 2021 compared to 2020;
partially offset by:
•a
net increase of $60.7 million due to fewer write-downs in 2021,
which included the write-downs of two tankers that were held for
sale, two tankers that were sold, and the impairment of seven
tankers and one right-of-use asset in 2021 compared to the
write-downs of nine tankers, five right-of-use assets and two FPSO
units in 2020, partially offset by a decrease due to the sale of
three Suezmax tankers in the first quarter of 2020 and four Aframax
tankers during 2021;
•an
increase of $33.0 million due to a gain from the derecognition of
the ARO obligation relating to the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit in the second quarter of 2021; and
•an
increase of $14.9 million due to lower decommissioning costs
incurred in 2021 compared to 2020 relating to the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit, as well as depreciation and restructuring charges
incurred in 2020, which did not occur in 2021, in relation to the
same unit, and the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit's operational losses in the first quarter of 2020
associated with its previous charter agreement.
Details of the changes to our results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 2021, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020 are provided in the following
section.
Year Ended December 31, 2021 versus Year Ended
December 31, 2020
Teekay Tankers
As at December 31, 2021, Teekay Tankers owned and leased 48
double-hulled conventional oil and product tankers, time
chartered-in two Aframax and one Long Range 2 (or
LR2)
product tankers, and owned a 50% interest in one Very Large Crude
Carrier (or
VLCC).
Recent Developments in Teekay Tankers
In March 2022, Teekay Tankers completed a $177.3 million
sale-leaseback financing transaction relating to eight Suezmax
tankers. The vessels are leased on bareboat charters 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 tankers for a total price of $43.6
million. The Suezmax tanker was delivered to its new owner in
February 2022 and the Aframax tankers are expected to be delivered
to their new owners in April 2022.
In December 2021, Teekay Tankers entered into a time charter-out
contract for one Aframax tanker with a one-year term at a daily
rate of $18,000. This charter-out contract commenced in December
2021.
During 2021, Teekay Tankers completed the sale of four Aframax
tankers in separate transactions for a combined sales price of
$56.7 million. The tankers were delivered to their new owners
during 2021.
In June 2021 and July 2021, Teekay Tankers entered into time
charter-in contracts for a LR2 product tanker and an Aframax
tanker, and entered into a new time charter-in contract for an
existing time chartered-in Aframax tanker, for terms of 18 to 24
months at an average rate of $17,800 per day. Each of the charters
provides Teekay Tankers with the option to extend for an additional
12 months at an average rate of $19,800 per day. The new time
charter-in contract for the existing time chartered-in Aframax
tanker commenced in August 2021 and the LR2 product tanker and the
Aframax tanker were delivered to Teekay Tankers in September 2021
and November 2021, respectively.
In May 2021 and September 2021, Teekay Tankers completed the
repurchases of two Suezmax tankers and six Aframax tankers,
respectively, previously under the sale-leaseback arrangements
described in "Item 18 – Financial Statements: Note 10 - Obligations
Related to Finance Leases" of this Annual Report, for a total cost
of $185.5 million, using available cash and an undrawn credit
facility. Subsequent to the purchases, two Suezmax tankers and two
of the Aframax tankers were included in a $72.8 million
sale-leaseback financing transaction in September 2021. Each vessel
is leased on a bareboat charter for eight years, with purchase
options available commencing at the end of the second year. The
remaining four Aframax tankers were included in a $68.9 million
sale-leaseback financing transaction in November 2021. Each vessel
is leased on a bareboat charter for seven years, with purchase
options available throughout the lease terms and a purchase
obligation at the end of the leases.

Tanker Market
Spot tanker rates fell to multi-decade lows in 2021 as the COVID-19
global pandemic and ongoing OPEC+ production cuts had a negative
impact on tanker demand. As per the International Energy Agency
(or
IEA),
global oil demand grew by 5.5 million barrels per day (or
mb/d)
to 96.4 mb/d in 2021. Although this was a significant rebound
compared to demand of 90.9 mb/d in 2020, it still left global oil
demand approximately 3 mb/d below pre-COVID-19 levels. The
emergence of new COVID-19 variants dampened both mobility and oil
demand at times during the year as countries periodically
implemented new restrictions in order to stop the spread. This was
most evident during the second and third quarters of 2021, with the
emergence of the Delta variant and at the end of the year with the
emergence of the Omicron variant.
Global oil production failed to keep pace with demand in 2021,
registering growth of just 1.5 mb/d to 95.3 mb/d. This was largely
due to restrained supply from the OPEC+ group of producers as part
of their strategy to reduce global oil inventories and give support
to oil prices. In this respect, OPEC+ was largely successful; by
the end of 2021, OECD oil inventories had fallen to their lowest
level in seven years and by January 2022 oil prices had rebounded
to $91 per barrel, the highest since October 2014. This proved to
be very negative for the tanker market, as oil inventory drawdowns
took away from tanker demand while higher oil prices led to an
increase in bunker fuel costs. Tanker demand did start to improve
in the latter half of 2021, with OPEC+ announcing that they would
unwind remaining production cuts at a rate of 0.4 mb/d per month
from August 2021 onwards. However, this had only a marginal impact
on rates during the fourth quarter of 2021.
Looking ahead, global oil demand is expected to increase by 2.1
mb/d year-on-year in 2022 as per the IEA. However, the potential
for further outbreaks of COVID-19, the impact of economic sanctions
against Russia due to its invasion of Ukraine, and high global
energy prices make this outlook highly uncertain. Global oil
production is set to increase during 2022 as the OPEC+ group plans
to unwind its remaining crude oil supply cuts by September 2022
while non-OPEC+ production is set to increase due to higher supply
from the U.S., Canada, and Brazil. However, the potential for
large-scale disruptions to Russian oil production as a result of
sanctions could offset some of these gains. Sanctions against
Russia could also lead to the rerouting of crude oil cargoes, which
may be positive for tanker tonne-mile demand if it leads to an
increase in average voyage distances, particularly in the Aframax
and Suezmax sectors. Finally, the potential lifting of Iranian
sanctions could alter tanker demand dynamics in the coming months
depending on future developments.
Tanker fleet supply fundamentals continue to look very positive due
to a lack of newbuild ordering, a diminishing tanker orderbook, and
higher scrapping. As of January 2022, the tanker orderbook stood at
7.3 percent of the existing fleet size, which is the lowest since
1996 and well below the long-term average of around 20 percent. The
level of newbuild orders remains very low, with just 3.4 million
deadweight tons (or
mdwt)
placed in the second half of 2021, the lowest level of new orders
placed in a six-month period since the first half of 2009. Teekay
Tankers expects that the level of new tanker orders will remain low
in the near-term due to rising newbuild prices, which are currently
at a 12-year high, and ongoing uncertainty over vessel technology.
Tanker scrapping has picked up in recent months with 9.5 mdwt
removed in the second half of 2021, the highest level since the
first half of 2018. For 2021 as a whole, around 15 mdwt of tankers
were scrapped versus only 3.5 mdwt in 2020. Teekay Tankers expects
the level of tanker scrapping to remain elevated in 2022 due to the
combination of an aging world tanker fleet, weak freight
rates
in recent quarters, and high tanker scrap prices. Teekay Tankers is
currently forecasting around 2 percent tanker fleet growth in 2022
followed by less than 1 percent in 2023 and potentially negative
fleet growth in 2024 when ship removals are expected to outweigh
new deliveries into the fleet.
In summary, Teekay Tankers expects that spot tanker rates will
recover from the multi-decade lows seen in 2021 due to a continued
recovery in both oil demand and supply during the course of 2022.
However, Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine has introduced a high
level of uncertainty to the market outlook, and Teekay Tankers
expects rates to be volatile in 2022 as the market adjusts to
changing conditions. The outlook for 2023 appears positive, as very
low levels of tanker fleet growth and a continued recovery in oil
demand are expected to lead to higher tanker fleet utilization, and
therefore improved spot tanker rates.
Net Revenues.
Net revenues were $227.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021, compared to $589.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due
to:
•a
net decrease of $198.1 million due to lower overall average
realized spot rates earned by Teekay Tankers' Suezmax tankers,
Aframax tankers and LR2 product tankers in 2021 compared to
2020;
•a
decrease of $91.0 million primarily due to various vessels on
time-charter out contracts earning lower fixed rates during the
first half of 2021 compared to the spot rates realized during the
first half of 2020 and various vessels returning from time-charter
out contracts earning lower spot rates during 2021 compared to
previous fixed rates;
•a
net decrease of $40.5 million primarily due to the sale of three
Suezmax tankers during the first quarter of 2020 and the sale of
four Aframax tankers during 2021, as well as the redeliveries of
three Aframax and two LR2 in-chartered tankers to their owners
during the first quarter of 2020, the fourth quarter of 2020 and
the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by the addition of one
Aframax in-chartered tanker and one LR2 in-chartered tanker that
were delivered to Teekay Tankers during the second half of
2021;
•a
decrease of $14.0 million primarily due to lower net results from
Teekay Tankers' FSL activities resulting from lower overall average
FSL spot rates in 2021 compared to 2020;
•a
decrease of $7.3 million primarily due to more off-hire days and
off-hire bunker expenses related to increased dry dockings, BWTS
installations, and vessel repairs, as well as higher overall bunker
costs in 2021 compared to 2020;
•a
decrease of $7.0 million due to the sale of the non-US portion of
Teekay Tankers' ship-to-ship (or
STS)
support services business and its LNG terminal management business
during the second quarter of 2020;
•a
decrease of $2.1 million due to lower revenue earned from Teekay
Tankers' responsibilities in employing the vessels subject to the
RSAs in 2021 compared to 2020; and
•a
decrease of $2.1 million due to one fewer calendar day in 2021
compared to 2020.
Vessel Operating Expenses.
Vessel operating expenses were
$165.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared
to $184.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The
decrease was
primarily due to a reduction of $8.2 million due to the sale of
seven tankers during 2020 and 2021,
a decrease of $5.9 million due to the sale of the non-US portion of
Teekay Tankers' STS support services business and its LNG terminal
management business during the second quarter of 2020,
a net reduction of $4.7 million mainly due to the scope of repair
and planned maintenance activities in 2021 compared to 2020, as
well as lower expenditures for ship management costs in
2021.
Time-charter Hire Expenses.
Time-charter hire expenses were $13.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021, compared to $36.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a
reduction of $21.3 million related to the redeliveries of eight
chartered-in vessels during 2020 and 2021, including five tankers
and three lightering support vessels, partially offset by the
delivery of four chartered-in vessels during the second half of
2020 and 2021, including two tankers and two lightering support
vessels, a decrease of $0.8 million due to the impairments of
certain operating lease right-of-use assets related to chartered-in
vessels, as well as a decrease of $0.5 million due to a lower daily
charter rate for one chartered-in vessel as part of its new
contract, which was entered into during the third quarter of
2021.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Depreciation and amortization was $106.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021, compared to $117.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a
reduction of $7.6 million related to the impairments of 14 tankers
during the second half of 2020 and first half of 2021, a decrease
of $5.6 million related to the sale of four Aframax tankers during
2021 and a decrease of $0.5 million due to the sale of the non-US
portion of Teekay Tankers' STS support services business and its
LNG terminal management business during the second quarter of 2020,
partially offset by an increase of $2.6 million primarily due to
depreciation related to capitalized expenditures for vessels which
dry docked during 2020 and 2021.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $43.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2021, compared to $39.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher
information technology-related costs, as well as higher
administrative, strategic management, and other fees incurred under
Teekay Tankers' management agreement with Teekay primarily
resulting from increased time spent providing these services during
the year ended December 31, 2021, and unfavorable foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations.
(Write-down) and Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets.
The (write-down) and gain (loss) on sale of assets of $92.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 2021, was due to:
•the
impairments recorded on three Suezmax tankers, three LR2 tankers
and one Aframax tanker 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 global pandemic is
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 tanker and one Suezmax tanker by $4.6
million to their estimated and agreed sales prices,
respectively;
•the
sale of two Aframax 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.
The (write-down) and gain (loss) on the sale of assets of $69.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2020, was due
to:
•the
impairments recorded on nine of Teekay Tankers' Aframax tankers
primarily due to a decline in spot tanker rates, short-term time
charter rates, and vessel values resulting from the economic
climate to which the COVID-19 global pandemic was a contributing
factor, which resulted in a write-down of $65.4
million;
•the
gain on the sale of assets of $3.1 million due to the sale of the
non-US portion of Teekay Tankers' STS support services business and
its LNG terminal management business during the second quarter of
2020;
•the
impairments recorded on Teekay Tankers' operating lease
right-of-use assets primarily due to a reduction in short-term time
charter rates, which resulted in a write-down of $2.9
million;
•the
sale of three Suezmax tankers in the first quarter of 2020, which
resulted in an aggregate net loss of $2.6 million; and
•the
write-down of two Aframax tankers by $1.6 million to their
estimated sales prices.
Restructuring Charges.
Restructuring charges of $1.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2020, were related to estimated severance costs resulting from
organizational changes to Teekay Tankers' tanker services and
operations, partially related to the sale of the non-US portion of
Teekay Tankers' ship-to-ship support services business in April
2020.
Equity (Loss) Income.
Equity loss was $14.1 million in 2021 compared to equity income of
$5.1 million in 2020. The decrease for the year ended December 31,
2021 was primarily due to a write-down 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 value
of the VLCC as a result of the current tanker market to which the
COVID-19 global pandemic has been a contributing factor, as well as
lower spot rates realized by the VLCC, which has been trading in a
third-party managed VLCC pooling arrangement.
Teekay Parent
As at December 31, 2021, Teekay Parent had direct interests in
two 100%-owned FPSO units, the
Sevan Hummingbird
and the
Petrojarl Foinaven,
which are included in Teekay Parent’s Offshore Production business.
Teekay Parent delivered the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit to a yard for recycling in May 2021. Included in Teekay
Parent’s Other and Corporate G&A segment was one FSO unit
in-chartered from Altera Infrastructure L.P. (or
Altera)
until March 1, 2021, when it was redelivered. Teekay Parent also
redelivered one FSO unit to Altera in August 2020, one bunker barge
to a third party in May 2020, and two shuttle tankers to Altera in
March 2020. The remaining portion of the Other and Corporate
G&A segment primarily relates to Teekay Parent's marine
services business in Australia as well as marine and corporate
services provided to Altera. 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 agreed to sell
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, and the sale closed 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, indicating an expected cessation of production on
March 31, 2022 and a charter termination date of approximately May
16, 2022. In conjunction with Spirit Energy, Teekay is currently
planning for the decommissioning of the unit from the Chestnut
Field.
In April 2021, Teekay Parent and CNRI, on behalf of the Banff joint
venture, entered into a Decommissioning Services Agreement
(or
DSA)
whereby Teekay Parent engaged CNRI to assume full responsibility
for Teekay’s remaining Phase 2 asset retirement obligation
(or
ARO),
to decommission our remaining subsea infrastructure located within
the CNRI-operated Banff field. The DSA was subject to certain
conditions precedent that needed to be satisfied by June 1, 2021
(or any agreed extension thereto) failing which the DSA could have
been terminated by either party. On May 27, 2021, all conditions
precedent of the DSA that needed to be satisfied by June 1, 2021,
were met. As such, Teekay was deemed to have fulfilled its prior
decommissioning obligations associated with the Banff field and we
derecognized the ARO and its associated receivable, resulting in a
$33.0 million gain. As at December 31, 2021, as a result of the
extinguishment, the ARO and associated receivable were $nil. In May
2021, Teekay sold the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit to an EU-approved shipyard for recycling and the unit is
currently in the latter stages of green-recycling.
In April 2021, BP plc announced its decision to suspend production
from the Foinaven oil fields and permanently remove the
Petrojarl
Foinaven
FPSO unit from the site. In February 2022, BP plc provided formal
redelivery notice to us, indicating an expected redelivery date of
August 3, 2022, after which Teekay intends to green-recycle the
unit. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we increased the
present value of the estimated ARO liability relating to the FPSO
unit by $2.7 million as a result of the earlier than expected
redelivery of the FPSO unit and we increased our cost estimate to
recycle the
Petrojarl
Foinaven
FPSO unit by $3.9 million.

(2)Apart
from three FPSO units (one of which was delivered for recycling in
May 2021), 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 $35.5 million for 2021, compared to loss
from vessel operations of $38.1 million for 2020. The changes are
primarily a result of
•an
increase of $103.7 million for 2021, due to a gain of $33.0 million
from the derecognition of the ARO obligation relating to the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit in the second quarter of 2021, compared to write-downs of
$70.7 million relating to Teekay Parent's FPSO units in 2020;
and
•an
increase of $6.3 million related to the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit, primarily due to lower decommissioning costs incurred in
2021 compared to 2020, and depreciation and restructuring charges
incurred in 2020, which did not occur in 2021;
partially offset by
•a
decrease of $35.7 million for 2021, related to the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit, primarily from the $44.9 million gain recognized on
commencement of its sales-type lease in the first quarter of 2020,
partially offset by the unit's operational losses in the first
quarter of 2020 associated with its previous charter
agreement.
Teekay Parent - Other and Corporate G&A
Loss from vessel operations for Teekay Parent’s Other and Corporate
G&A segment was $26.8 million for 2021, compared to loss from
vessel operations of $33.3 million for 2020. The decrease in loss
was primarily due to the $9.1 million write-down of the
Suksan Salamander
FSO unit in 2020, and lower restructuring charges in 2021,
partially offset by increases in corporate expenses in
2021.
Other Consolidated Operating Results

results for 2021 and 2020, excluding the other operating results of

Interest expense.
Interest expense decreased to $68.4 million in 2021, compared to
$89.1 million in 2020, primarily due to:
•a
decrease of $16.5 million relating to Teekay Tankers primarily due
to lower principal balances and interest rates associated with its
finance lease obligations and loan facilities in 2021 compared to
2020, mainly resulting from the completion of new sale-leaseback
transactions for eight vessels, which were repurchased under their
previous sale-leaseback agreements during 2021, the sale of two
Aframax vessels, previously under sale-leaseback arrangements,
during the first quarter of 2021, as well as debt refinancings
completed during 2020. In addition, overall lower average LIBOR
rates and the write-off of previously capitalized loan costs
associated with the debt refinancings in the prior period also
contributed to the decrease; and
•a
decrease of $4.0 million relating to Teekay Parent primarily due to
lower accretion expense incurred on Teekay's Convertible Notes as a
result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 (see "Item
18 - Financial Statements Note 1: Recent Accounting Pronouncements"
for further details), and lower debt balances mainly due to the
repurchase of some of Teekay's 2022 Notes and Convertible Notes
during 2020.
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 (loss) income. Net realized and unrealized gains
(losses) on non-designated derivatives were $0.5 million for 2021,
compared to ($2.5) million for 2020, as detailed in the table

467 |
|
|
(2,523) |
|
The realized losses relate to amounts we actually realized for
settlements related to these derivative instruments in normal
course and amounts paid to terminate interest rate swap agreement
terminations.
During 2021 and 2020, we had interest rate swap agreements with
aggregate average net outstanding notional amounts of approximately
$72.4 million and $118.1 million, respectively, with average
fixed rates of approximately 1.7% and 2.3%, respectively.
Short-term variable benchmark interest rates during these periods
were generally lower than these fixed rates, and, as such, we
incurred realized losses of $1.3 million and $0.9 million during
2021 and 2020, respectively, under the interest rate swap
agreements.
Primarily as a result of significant changes in long-term benchmark
interest rates during 2021 and 2020, we recognized unrealized gains
of $2.4 million in 2021 compared to unrealized losses of $0.9
million in 2020 under the interest rate swap
agreements.
Other loss.
Other loss increased to $12.8 million in 2021 compared to $1.5
million in 2020. The increase in other loss was primarily due an
increase in the ARO liability related to the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit during 2021 as a result of the earlier than expected
redelivery of the FPSO unit and costs estimated to recycle the unit
(see "Item 18 - Financial Statements: Note 6 - Accrued Liabilities
and Other and Other Long-Term Liabilities" of this Annual Report),
premiums paid during 2021 in relation to Teekay Tankers' repurchase
of the eight vessels, previously under sale-leaseback arrangements,
an increase in unrealized credit loss provision relating to
the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit lease and Teekay Tankers' amortization of a previously
deferred gain during the prior period.
Income Tax Recovery (Expense).
Income tax recovery was $5.0 million in 2021 compared to income tax
expense of ($5.6) million in 2020. The change was primarily due to
lower freight taxes recognized in a certain jurisdiction in 2021,
higher recoveries related to the expiry of the statute of
limitations in certain jurisdictions during 2021, as well as tax
refunds related to group relief and overpayment of prior period
taxes; partially offset by a reversal $15.2 million of freight tax
liabilities in 2020 as a result of an agreement with a tax
authority, which was based in part on an initiative of the tax
authority in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic and included
the waiver of interest and penalties on unpaid taxes. For
additional information, please read "Item 18 - Financial
Statements: Note 21 - Income Tax Recovery (Expense)" of this Annual
Report.
Operating Results - Teekay Gas Business
The Teekay Gas Business consists of 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 our shore-based management operations of
Teekay LNG Partners and certain of its joint ventures. On October
4, 2021, Teekay LNG Partners, Teekay GP, the Acquiror and the
Merger Sub entered the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the
Merger closed on January 13, 2022. As part of the Merger and
related transactions, Teekay sold all of its ownership interest in
Teekay LNG Partners, including approximately 36 million Teekay LNG
Partners common units, and Teekay GP (equivalent to approximately
1.6 million Teekay LNG Partners common units), for cash in the
amount of $17.00 per common unit. 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.
As at December 31, 2021, Teekay LNG Partners (now known as
Seapeak LLC) had a fleet of 47 LNG carriers and 28 LPG/multi-gas
carriers. Seapeak's ownership interests in these vessels range from
20% to 100%. In addition to Seapeak's fleet, it has a 30% ownership
interest in an LNG receiving and regasification terminal in
Bahrain.

(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 is not included in the
discontinued operations results.
(2)Calendar-ship-days
presented relate to consolidated vessels only.
Income from vessel operations for the Teekay Gas Business increased
to $269.8 million in 2021 compared to $244.4 million in 2020,
primarily as a result of the following:
•an
increase of $51.0 million due to the write-down of Seapeak's seven
multi-gas carriers in 2020 partly as a result of the economic
environment at that time (including the economic impact of the
COVID-19 global pandemic);
•an
increase of $15.7 million due to lower operational claims on
certain of Seapeak's LNG carriers in 2021 compared to 2020;
and
•a
net increase of $1.8 million primarily due to higher charter rates
earned in 2021, partially offset by unscheduled off-hire days due
to repairs on Seapeak's multi-gas carriers in 2021;
partially offset by:
•a
decrease of $13.0 million due to 182 additional off-hire days and
fuel costs related to the scheduled drydockings and upgrade of
certain of Seapeak's LNG carriers in 2021 compared to
2020;
•a
decrease of $12.4 million due to higher general and administrative
expenses and restructuring charges primarily incurred in connection
with the sale of the Teekay Gas Business, including costs allocated
from certain restructured subsidiaries of Teekay prior to the
closing of the sale;
•a
decrease of $7.0 million primarily due to an increase in repairs
and maintenance expenditures incurred in 2021 compared to
2020;
•a
decrease of $6.8 million due to 47 additional off-hire days for
unscheduled repairs on certain of Seapeak's LNG carriers in 2021
compared to 2020; and
•a
decrease of $6.0 million due to the redeliveries of the
Creole Spirit
and the
Oak Spirit
LNG carriers and these vessels earning lower charter rates upon
redeployment in March 2021 and August 2021,
respectively.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense decreased to $122.6 million for 2021, from $136.6
million for 2020. Interest expense primarily reflects interest
incurred on Seapeak's long-term debt and obligations related to
finance leases. The decrease was primarily due to a lower debt
balance as a result of debt repayments and a decrease in
LIBOR.
Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Non-designated Derivative
Instruments.
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on non-designated
derivative instruments were $8.5 million and ($33.3) million for
2021 and 2020, respectively.
Seapeak enters into interest rate swaps which exchange a receipt of
floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce
exposure to interest rate variability on certain of its outstanding
U.S. Dollar-denominated and Euro-denominated floating rate debt. As
at December 31, 2021 and 2020, Seapeak had interest rate swap
agreements, excluding swap agreements held by Seapeak's
equity-accounted joint ventures, with aggregate average net
outstanding notional amounts of approximately $911 million and $806
million, respectively, and with average fixed rates of 2.7% and
3.1%, respectively. Seapeak recognized realized losses of $34.1
million under the interest rate swap agreements in 2021, compared
to realized losses of $16.6 million in 2020. The increase in
realized losses for the 2021 is primarily due to the termination of
the interest rate swap agreement associated with the debt
refinancing in Seapeak's 70%-owned consolidated joint venture TK
BLT Corporation (or the
Tangguh Joint Venture)
during the first quarter of 2021.
Primarily as a result of significant changes in the long-term
benchmark interest rates during the year ended December 31,
2021, compared with 2020, Seapeak recognized unrealized gains of
$42.7 million under the interest rate swap agreements during 2021,
compared to unrealized losses of $16.7 million for the prior
year.
Equity Income.
Equity income related to Seapeak’s liquefied gas carriers increased
to $115.4 million in 2021 compared to $72.2 million in 2020. The
changes were primarily a result of:
•an
increase of $42.0 million due to unrealized gains on non-designated
interest rate swaps due to an increase in long-term forward LIBOR
benchmark interest rates, compared to unrealized losses in 2020 due
to a decrease in long-term forward LIBOR benchmark interest
rates;
•an
increase of $17.0 million due to impairment charges recorded on
four LPG carriers in the Exmar LPG Joint Venture in
2020;
•an
increase of $15.3 million related to lower unrealized credit loss
provisions primarily due to the initial unrealized credit loss
provision recognized upon commencement of the sales-type lease for
the Bahrain regasification terminal and associated floating storage
unit in January 2020 in Seapeak's 30%-owned joint venture in
Bahrain (or the
Bahrain LNG Joint Venture)
and lower unrealized credit loss provisions recorded in certain of
Seapeak's equity-accounted joint ventures primarily due to declines
in estimated charter-free vessel fair values for vessels which are
servicing time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing
leases during 2020; and
•an
increase of $9.9 million due to a decrease in interest expense
resulting from lower debt balances and lower LIBOR during
2021;
partially offset by:
•a
decrease of $30.0 million due to an impairment charge recorded on
Seapeak's investment in an LNG related joint venture with Exmar (or
the
Excalibur Joint Venture)
in 2021 as a result of a change in expectation as to the possible
sale of the Excalibur Joint Venture's only vessel;
•a
decrease of $6.7 million primarily due to unscheduled off-hire for
repairs during 2021 on certain of Seapeak's equity-accounted LNG
carriers in its 50%-owned joint venture with China LNG Shipping
(Holdings) Limited (or the
Yamal LNG Joint Venture),
off-hire for scheduled drydockings and unscheduled repairs during
2021 for certain of Seapeak's equity-accounted LNG carriers in its
33%-owned joint venture with Angola (or the
Angola LNG Carriers)
and off-hire for scheduled drydockings during 2021 for certain of
Seapeak's equity-accounted LPG carriers in its 50/50 LPG-related
joint venture with Exmar NV (or the
Exmar LPG Joint Venture);
and
•a
decrease of $6.5 million primarily due to lower charter rates
earned upon redeployment of the
Marib Spirit,
Arwa Spirit
and
Methane Spirit
between May 2020 and April 2021 in Seapeak's MALT Joint
Venture.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss).
Foreign currency exchange gains (losses) were $7.3 million and
($18.4) million for 2021 and 2020, respectively. These foreign
currency exchange gains (losses) were primarily due to the relevant
period-end revaluation of Seapeak's NOK-denominated debt and
Seapeak's Euro-denominated term loans for financial reporting
purposes into U.S. Dollars, net of the realized and unrealized
gains and losses on Seapeak's cross currency swaps. Gains on
NOK-denominated and Euro-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a
stronger U.S. Dollar against the NOK and Euro on the date of
revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the
beginning of the period. Losses on NOK-denominated and
Euro-denominated monetary liabilities reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar
against the NOK and Euro on the date of revaluation or settlement
compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the
period.
Other Loss.
Other loss decreased to $3.6 million for 2021, from $16.5 million
for 2020. The change in other loss was primarily due to higher
unrealized credit loss provisions recognized in 2020 as a result of
larger declines of estimated charter-free valuations of certain of
Seapeak's LNG vessels in 2020 compared to 2021, which are servicing
time-charter contracts accounted for as direct financing leases,
and the impact of such declines on Seapeak's expectation of the
value of such vessels upon completion of their existing charter
contracts.
Income Tax Expense.
Income tax expense
increased to $6.8 million for 2021, from $3.4 million for 2020,
primarily due to changes in deferred tax amounts related to the
timing of deductions in the Tangguh Joint Venture.
Year Ended December 31, 2020 versus Year Ended

Net Revenues.
Net revenues were $589.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2020 compared to $541.6 million for the year ended December 31,
2019. The increase was primarily due to:
•a
net increase of $73.2 million due to higher overall average
realized spot rates earned by the Suezmax tankers and LR2 product
tankers, partially offset by lower overall average realized spot
rates earned by the Aframax tankers in 2020 compared to 2019;
and
•an
increase of $39.7 million primarily due to a higher number of
vessels on time-charter out contracts earning higher rates compared
to spot rates for 2019;
partially offset by:
•a
net decrease of $37.2 million due to the sale of four Suezmax
tankers during the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020
and the redeliveries of two Aframax in-chartered tankers to their
owners in the first quarter of 2020, partially offset by the
addition of one Aframax in-chartered tanker that was delivered to
Teekay Tankers in the third quarter of 2019;
•a
decrease of $23.1 million due to the sale of the non-US portion of
the ship-to-ship support services business and LNG terminal
management business during the second quarter of 2020, as well as
the completion of an LNG terminal management project and an LNG STS
contract in 2019;
•a
decrease of $3.8 million primarily due to lower net results from
the FSL dedicated tankers resulting from lower overall spot rates;
and
•a
decrease of $2.3 million due to an accrual for taxes recoverable
from one of the customers in the fourth quarter of 2019 and a
reduction of this accrual in the first quarter of 2020 (offset by a
corresponding decrease in income tax expense).
Vessel Operating Expenses.
Vessel operating expenses were
$184.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to
$208.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease
was primarily due a reduction of $18.3 million resulting from the
sale of the non-US portion of the ship-to-ship support services
business and LNG terminal management business during the second
quarter of 2020, as well as the completion of an LNG terminal
management project and an LNG STS contract in 2019, a reduction of
$9.2 million primarily due to the sale of four Suezmax tankers
during the fourth quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020 and a
decrease of $1.9 million due to a lower volume of support service
activities, partially offset by a net increase of $5.2 million
primarily due to crewing-related costs that have been impacted by
disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 global
pandemic.
Time-charter Hire Expenses.
Time-charter hire expenses were $36.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2020 compared to $43.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of
$10.9 million due to the redelivery of two chartered-in vessels in
early 2020 and a decrease of $1.4 million due to the impairments of
four operating lease right-of-use assets related to chartered-in
vessels during 2020, partially offset by an increase of $5.5
million due to the deliveries of a chartered-in tanker in the third
quarter of 2019 and a chartered-in lightering support vessel in the
third quarter of 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Depreciation and amortization was $117.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2020 compared to $124.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of
$9.6 million due to four vessels sold in the fourth quarter of 2019
and first quarter of 2020, a reduction of $2.4 million primarily
resulting from the sale of the non-US portion of the ship-to-ship
support services business and LNG terminal management business
during the second quarter of 2020 and a decrease of $1.1 million
due to the impairments of five Aframax tankers in the third quarter
of 2020, partially offset by an increase of $6.3 million primarily
due to depreciation related to capitalized expenditures for vessels
which dry docked during 2019 and 2020.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $39.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020, compared to $36.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to higher
general corporate expenditures during 2020.
(Write-down) and Gain (Loss) on Sale of Assets.
The (write-down) and gain (loss) on sale of assets of $69.4 million
for the year ended December 31, 2020, was due to:
•the
impairments recorded on nine of the Aframax tankers primarily due
to a decline in spot tanker rates, short-term time charter rates,
and vessel values resulting from the current economic climate to
which the COVID-19 global pandemic was a contributing factor, which
resulted in a write-down of $65.4 million;
•the
gain on the sale of assets of $3.1 million due to the sale of the
non-US portion of the support services business and LNG terminal
management business during the second quarter of 2020;
•the
impairments recorded on the operating lease right-of-use assets
primarily due to a reduction in short-term time charter rates,
which resulted in a write-down of $2.9 million;
•the
sale of three Suezmax tankers in the first quarter of 2020, which
resulted in an aggregate net loss of $2.6 million; and
•the
write-down of two Aframax tankers by $1.6 million to their
estimated sales prices.
The (write-down) and (loss) on the sale of assets of $5.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily due
to:
•the
write-down of two Suezmax tankers by $3.2 million to their
estimated sales prices; and
•the
sale of one Suezmax tanker in the fourth quarter of 2019, which
resulted in a loss of $2.4 million.
Restructuring Charges.
Restructuring charges of $1.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2020, were related to estimated severance costs resulting from
organizational changes to the tanker services and operations,
partially related to the sale of the non-US portion of the
ship-to-ship support services business in April 2020.
Equity Income.
Equity income was $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020
compared to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019,
primarily due to higher spot rates realized by the 50% ownership
interest in a VLCC, which has been trading in a third-party managed
VLCC pooling arrangement.
Teekay Parent
As at December 31, 2020, Teekay Parent had direct interests in
three 100%-owned FPSO units, which are included in Teekay Parent’s
Offshore Production business. In addition, included in Teekay
Parent’s Other and Corporate G&A segment was one FSO unit
in-chartered from Altera until March 2021. Teekay Parent also
redelivered one FSO unit to Altera in August 2020, one bunker barge
to a third party in May 2020, two shuttle tankers to Altera in
March 2020, and one FSO unit to Altera in April 2019. The remaining
portion of the Other and Corporate G&A segment primarily
relates to Teekay Parent's marine services business in Australia as
well as marine and corporate services provided to
Altera.

Teekay Parent - Offshore Production
Loss from vessel operations for Teekay Parent’s Offshore Production
business was $38.1 million for 2020, compared to loss from vessel
operations of $208.2 million for 2019. The changes are primarily a
result of:
• a decrease in loss of $107.6 million due
to lower impairment charges in 2020;
• a decrease in loss of $74.0 million for
2020, primarily due to a $44.9 million gain on commencement of the
sales-type lease and $29.1 million decrease in loss primarily due
to improved results associated with the new bareboat charter
agreement for the
Petrojarl Foinaven
FPSO unit in 2020; and
• a decrease in loss of $10.9 million for
2020, related to the
Sevan Hummingbird
FPSO unit, primarily due to a new contract that took effect in the
fourth quarter of 2019 at a higher rate as well as lower
depreciation as a result of write-downs of the unit to its
estimated fair value in the third quarter of 2019, and then to nil
in the third quarter of 2020;
partially offset by:
• an increase in loss of $22.3 million for
2020, related to the
Petrojarl Banff
FPSO unit, primarily due to cessation of production on the Banff
field in June 2020 and the associated decommissioning costs
incurred.
Teekay Parent - Other and Corporate G&A
Loss from vessel operations for Teekay Parent’s Other and Corporate
G&A segment was $33.3 million for 2020, compared to loss from
vessel operations of $24.9 million for 2019. The increase in loss
was primarily due to the write-down of the
Suksan Salamander
FSO unit, partially offset by decreases in restructuring
charges.
Equity-Accounted Investment in Altera
We recognized equity losses from Altera of $75.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019. The equity
