NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “OSG”, “we”, “us” or “our”), including Alaska Tanker Company (“ATC”) as of its March 12, 2020 acquisition date. The Company owns and operates a fleet of oceangoing vessels engaged primarily in the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products in the U.S. Flag trade.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other interim period.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“Form 10-K”).
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, which continues to affect the United States and the world. COVID-19 and its direct and indirect consequences have caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets, and there is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies. The COVID-19 pandemic is a dynamic and continuously evolving phenomenon and the ultimate severity of the outbreak, and its effect on the Company’s business in the future, is uncertain.
Note 2 — Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software, to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. The new guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt this standard on December 31, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which adds a new Topic 326 and removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to maturity debt securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, entities generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that a loss has been incurred. The revised guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require entities to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the entity expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards.
In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which allows a two-bucket approach for determining the effective dates of these accounting standards. Under this approach, the buckets would be defined as follows:
Bucket 1— All public business entities (“PBEs”) that are SEC filers (as defined in U.S. GAAP), excluding smaller reporting companies (“SRCs”) (as defined by the SEC). The credit losses standard became effective January 1, 2020.
Bucket 2— All other entities, including SRCs, other PBEs that are not SEC filers, private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans. The credit losses standard is to become effective January 1, 2023.
At the annual evaluation date on June 30, 2019, the Company met the SEC definition of a smaller reporting company. Accordingly, the Company plans to adopt the credit losses standard on January 1, 2023. Management is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2021. Management is currently reviewing the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Revenue Recognition
Shipping Revenues
Time Charter Revenues
The Company enters into time charter contracts under which a customer pays a fixed daily or monthly rate for a fixed period of time for use of a vessel. The Company recognizes revenues from time charters as operating leases ratably over the noncancellable contract term. Customers generally pay voyage expenses such as fuel, canal tolls and port charges. The Company also provides the charterer with services such as technical management expenses and crew costs. While there are lease and service (non-lease) components related to time charter contracts, the predominant component of the contract is the charterer’s lease of the vessel. The non-lease components of the contract have the same timing and pattern of transfer as the underlying lease component; therefore, the Company applies the practical expedient of combining lease and non-lease components and recognizes revenue related to this service ratably over the life of the contract term.
Voyage Charter Revenues
The
Company enters into voyage charter contracts, under which the customer pays a transportation charge (voyage freight) for the movement
of a specific cargo between two or more specified ports. The Company’s performance obligation under voyage charters, which
consists of moving cargo from a load port to a discharge port, is satisfied over time. Accordingly, under ASC 606, the Company
recognizes revenue from voyage charters ratably over the estimated length of each voyage, calculated on a load-to-discharge basis.
The transaction price is in the form of a fixed fee at contract inception, which is the transportation charge. Voyage charter
contracts also include variable consideration primarily in the form of demurrage, which is additional revenue the Company receives
for delays experienced in loading or unloading cargo that are not deemed to be the responsibility of the Company. The Company
does not include demurrage in the transaction price for voyage charters since it is highly susceptible to factors outside the
Company’s influence. Examples of when demurrage is incurred include unforeseeable weather conditions and security regulations
at ports. The uncertainty related to this variable consideration is resolved upon the completion of the voyage, the duration of
which is generally less than

Contracts of Affreightment
The Company enters into contracts of affreightment (each a “COA”) to provide transportation services between specified points for a stated quantity of cargo over a specific time period, but without designating voyage schedules. The Company has COA arrangements to provide for lightering services and other arrangements based on the number of voyages. These contracts are service contracts within the scope of ASC 606 for which the underlying performance obligation is satisfied as a series of distinct services.
The Company’s COAs include minimum purchase requirements from customers that are expressed in either fixed monthly barrels, annual minimum barrel volume requirements or annual minimum number of voyages to complete. The Company is required to transport and the charterer is required to provide the Company with a minimum volume requirement. These contract minimums represent fixed consideration within the contract which is recognized as the distinct services of delivering barrels or voyages are performed in the series over time. The Company will adjust revenue recognized for any minimum volume unexercised right.
COAs provide the charterer with the opportunity to purchase additional transportation services above the minimum. If this is not considered a material right, the Company recognizes revenue related to the additional services at the contractual rate as the product is transferred over time. If the additional transportation service is considered a material right, the Company applies the practical alternative of allocating the transaction price to the material right. As a result, the Company may recognize revenue related to COAs at an amount different from the invoiced amount if the Company’s estimated volume to be transported under the contract exceeds the contractual minimum.
At September 30, 2020, the Company did not have deferred revenue related to the Company’s COAs.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company has disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Consequently, the disaggregation below is based on contract type. Since the terms within these contract types are generally standard in nature, the Company does not believe that further disaggregation would result in increased insight into the economic factors impacting revenue and cash flows.

Costs to Fulfill a Contract
Under ASC 606, for voyage charters and contracts of affreightment, the Company capitalizes the direct costs, which are voyage expenses, of relocating the vessel to the load port and amortizes those costs during transport of the cargo. At September 30, 2020, the costs related to voyages that were not yet completed were not material.
Additionally, these contracts include out-of-pocket expense (i.e. fuel, port charges, canal tolls) incurred by the Company in fulfilling its performance obligations, which are reimbursed by the charterer at cost. The reimbursement for these fulfillment costs are included in the Company’s estimated transaction price for the contract and recognized as revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As
of September 30, 2020, there was an aggregate of $
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
The Company’s voyage charter contracts and some of the Company’s COAs have an original expected duration of one year or less; therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, which permits the Company to not disclose the portion of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations within these COAs.
The Company expenses broker commissions for voyage charters, which are costs of obtaining a contract, as they are incurred because the amortization period is less than one year or are otherwise amortized as the underlying performance obligation is satisfied. The Company records these costs within voyage expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive stock options and restricted stock units. Participating securities are defined by ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, as unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.
Class A
As of September 30, 2020, there were shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding restricted stock units and shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding options, both of which are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. As of September 30, 2019, there were shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding restricted stock units and shares of Class A common stock issuable under outstanding options, both of which are considered to be potentially dilutive securities.

Note 5 — Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Disclosures
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash— The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for interest-bearing deposits approximate fair value. Investments in trading securities consist of equity securities and were measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date.
Debt— The fair values of the Company’s publicly traded and non-public debt are estimated based on quoted market prices.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, relating to fair value measurements defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The ASC 820 fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In addition, the fair value of assets and liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, which for the liabilities described below includes the Company’s own credit risk.

DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS
The levels of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company awarded performance-based RSUs to its senior officers. Each performance-based RSU represents a contingent right to receive RSUs based upon continuous employment through the end of a three-year performance period and will vest as follows: (i) one-half of the target RSUs will vest and become nonforfeitable subject to OSG’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance in the three-year ROIC performance period relative to a target rate (the “ROIC Target”) set forth in the award agreements (which define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes divided by the net of total debt plus shareholders equity less cash); and (ii) one–half of the target RSUs will be subject to OSG’s three–year total shareholder return (“TSR Target”) performance relative to that of a performance index over a three–year TSR performance period. The index consists of companies that comprise a combination of the oil and gas storage and transportation and marine GICS sub-industries indexes during the performance period. Vesting is subject in each case to certification by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Directors as to achievement of the performance measures and targets.
The ROIC Target RSU awards and the TSR Target RSU awards are subject to an increase of up to a maximum of target RSUs combined ( RSUs in total) or decrease, depending on performance against the applicable measure and targets. The ROIC performance goal is a performance condition which, as of September 30, 2020, management believed was probable of being achieved. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, compensation costs have been recognized for these awards. The grant date fair value of the TSR based performance awards, which have a market condition, was determined to be $ per RSU.

Business Overview
OSG is a publicly traded tanker company providing energy transportation services for crude oil and petroleum products in the U.S. Flag markets. OSG is a major operator of tankers and ATBs in the Jones Act industry. OSG’s 23 active vessel fleet, of which 21 are U.S. Flag vessels, consists of three crude oil tankers doing business in Alaska, one conventional ATB, two lightering ATBs, three shuttle tankers, ten MR tankers, and two non-Jones Act MR tankers that participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program. OSG also owns and operates two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers which trade internationally. In addition to the currently operating fleet, OSG has on order another Jones Act compliant barge which is scheduled for delivery during the fourth quarter of 2020. OSG is committed to setting high standards of excellence for its quality, safety and environmental programs. OSG is recognized as one of the world’s most customer-focused marine transportation companies and is headquartered in Tampa, FL. Our revenues are derived predominantly from time charter agreements for specific periods of time at fixed daily amounts. We also charter-out vessels for specific voyages where we typically earn freight revenue at spot market rates.
The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. You should consider the foregoing when reviewing the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, and this discussion and analysis. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes industry data and forecasts that we have prepared based in part on information obtained from industry publications and surveys. Third-party industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. In addition, certain statements regarding our market position in this report are based on information derived from internal market studies and research reports. Unless we state otherwise, statements about the Company’s relative competitive position in this report are based on management’s beliefs, internal studies and management’s knowledge of industry trends.
All dollar amounts are in thousands, except daily dollar amounts and per share amounts.
Operations and Oil Tanker Markets
Our revenues are highly sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the size and design configurations owned and operated by us and the trades in which those vessels operate. Rates for the transportation of crude oil and refined petroleum products are determined by market forces such as the supply and demand for oil, the distance that cargoes must be transported, and the number of vessels expected to be available at the time cargoes need to be transported. In the Jones Act trades within which the substantial majority of our vessels operate, demand factors for transportation are affected almost exclusively by supply and distribution decisions of oil producers, refiners and distributors based in the United States. Further, the demand for U.S. domestic oil shipments is significantly affected by the state of the U.S. and global economies, the level of imports into the U.S. from OPEC and other foreign producers, oil production in the United States, and the relative price differentials of U.S. produced crude oil and refined petroleum products as compared with comparable products sourced from or destined for foreign markets, including the cost of transportation on international flag vessels to or from those markets. The number of vessels is affected by newbuilding deliveries and by the removal of existing vessels from service, principally through storage, deletions, or conversions. Our revenues are also affected by the mix of charters between spot (voyage charter which includes short-term time charter) and long-term (time or bareboat charter).
Beginning in the 2020 first quarter, COVID-19 has resulted in disruptions in demand and oversupply of oil. Many analysts predict that gasoline and diesel demand will recover as 2020 progresses and that recovery will continue into 2021. Jet fuel demand is anticipated to remain well below 2019 levels through at least the end of 2021. These estimates include estimates on the prevalence of COVID-19 and the recovery of the U.S. economy. While COVID-19 has presented our industry and markets with significant challenges, we believe that we have thus far managed its impact on our business well, with all of our Jones Act and internationally trading vessels able to load, transit and discharge cargo without material interruption.

OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented procedures to protect the health and safety of our employees, crew and contractors. These procedures and protocols are those mandated or recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Coast Guard, local ports and shipyards, and country and state specific requirements. They include such actions as providing personal protective equipment, minimizing crew changes, managing the locations where crew members board and depart from our vessels, requiring crew members to disclose symptoms and the health of those they have been in contact with, sanitization of the vessels, mandating face coverings, social distancing and temperature checks, and requiring testing in certain instances. COVID-19 has also impacted planned shipyard maintenance and vetting activities, resulting in delays, rescheduling and extensions. These additional procedures and delays have resulted in increased costs, which at this point in time, have not been material but are expected to continue.
Having our vessels committed on time charters is a fundamental objective of our chartering strategy. The majority of available vessel operating days are covered with medium-term charters or contracts of affreightment. However, medium-term charters may not always be remunerative, nor prove achievable under certain market conditions. As a result, some of our vessels operate in the spot market, which is more volatile and less predictable. Because shipping revenues and voyage expenses are significantly affected by the mix between voyage charters and time charters, we manage our vessels based on time charter equivalent (“TCE”) revenues and TCE rates, which are non-GAAP measures. TCE revenues equal GAAP shipping revenues, less voyage expenses. TCE rates are determined by dividing TCE revenues by revenue days. These measures are reported because management makes economic decisions based on anticipated TCE rates and evaluates financial performance based on TCE rates achieved.
TCE rates for Jones Act Product Carriers and large ATBs (defined as vessels having carrying capacities greater than 140,000 barrels) available for service in the spot market decreased during the third quarter of 2020 compared to third quarter of 2019 for all of our vessel classes. The decrease in rates can be attributed to lower demand for coastwise crude oil and refined product as a result of the impact of COVID-19. This has been partially offset by the tightening of vessel supply through scrapping, lay ups and sales out of Jones Act service versus one new delivery since 2018. There were few spot market voyages in the third quarter of 2020 due to charterers securing time charters over the past year. This has led to minimal vessels available for spot voyages.
Our time charter coverage is substantial for the balance of this year. We contracted employment covering 77% of available operating days during the fourth quarter of 2020, which includes the ATC vessels recently purchased. Our deep book of time charters is expected to provide some insulation from the current market turmoil that has followed not only the outbreak of COVID-19, but also the decline in transportation fuel demand affecting both crude oil and refined product pricing. Our vessels were employed for 93% of available days during the third quarter of 2020, with 115 of a total 1,596 available days (available days excludes 193 days vessels were offhire due to drydock requirements) seeing vessels idle without employment.
The industry’s firm Jones Act orderbook as of September 30, 2020 consists of one large ATB with delivery scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2020, which is our order.
Delaware Bay lightering volumes averaged 49,000 b/d in the third quarter of 2020 compared with 92,000 b/d in the third quarter of 2019. Refinery demand for crude oil was significantly reduced in the third quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19, reducing the need for lightering services. We have contract minimums with our refinery customers that compensate us for barrels not lightered below those minimum amounts. In June 2019, one of our lightering customers, Philadelphia Energy Solutions (“PES”), suffered an explosion and fire at its refinery in the Delaware Bay. The refinery has been shut down since the fire. In July 2019, PES filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Due to the reduction in lightering volumes, we operate one, rather than two, lightering ATBs in the Delaware Bay. The second lightering barge is utilized in the Gulf of Mexico. In May 2020 the PES bankruptcy process resulted in the sale of the refinery complex, which will be permanently closed.
On March 12, 2020, our subsidiaries completed the purchase of the Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator from BP Oil Shipping Company USA and AP AMI Leasing Inc. (“BP”) and have entered into a bareboat charter with BP for a fourth vessel, the Alaskan Frontier. The Alaskan Frontier is currently in layup. In connection with these transactions, we also completed the acquisition of the other members' interests in ATC, making ATC a wholly owned subsidiary of OSG. Operating results of these vessels are included from that date.

Results of Vessel Operations
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, shipping revenues increased by $24,822 and $64,024, or 30.7% and 24.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increases primarily resulted from the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, and one ATB, OSG 204 and OSG Endurance.

During the third quarter of 2020, TCE revenues increased by $15,779, or 20.6%, to $92,281 from $76,502 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase primarily resulted from the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, and one ATB, OSG 204 and OSG Endurance, and two Government of Israel voyages during the third quarter of 2020 compared to one during the third quarter of 2019. The increase was offset by (a) three fewer ATBs in our fleet, including one ATB sold in August 2020, (b) a 193-day increase in scheduled drydocking resulting in a $9,911 loss in revenues and (c) a decrease in Delaware Bay lightering volumes during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. One vessel was redelivered from time charter during the third quarter of 2020 and placed in lay-up, a decision taken in light of the lack of spot market activity during the quarter.
Vessel expenses increased by $9,051, or 26.6%, in the third quarter of 2020 to $43,044 compared to $33,993 in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to an increase in crewing costs. The increase in crewing costs was due to the addition of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, and three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, to our fleet, which was offset by three fewer ATBs in our fleet, including one ATB sold in August 2020.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $1,929, or 14.5%, to $15,253 in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $13,324 in the third quarter of 2019. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in depreciation expense due to the Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, our two newbuild Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, which entered service at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2019, the addition of three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, to our fleet in March 2020 and the addition of our newbuild barge, OSG 204, which entered service during the second quarter of 2020.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, TCE revenues increased by $48,422, or 20.1%, to $289,782 from $241,360 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase primarily resulted from the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator and one ATB, OSG 204 and OSG Endurance, which was delivered at the end of May 2020 and an increase in average daily rates earned by our fleet. The increase was offset by (a) two fewer ATBs in our fleet, (b) a 248-day increase in scheduled drydocking and (c) a decrease in Delaware Bay lightering volumes during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Vessel expenses increased 21.7%, or $21,496, to $120,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $98,960 for the same period in 2019 primarily due to an increase in crewing costs. The increase in crewing costs was due to the addition to our fleet of two Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, and three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, offset by two fewer ATBs in our fleet.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $4,566, or 11.7%, to $43,488 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $38,922 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in depreciation expense due to the Overseas Gulf Coast and Overseas Sun Coast, our two newbuild Marshall Islands flagged MR tankers, which entered service at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2019, the addition of three crude oil tankers, Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, to our fleet in March 2020 and the addition of our newbuild barge, OSG 204, which entered service during the second quarter of 2020.
Our two U.S. Flag Product Carriers participate in the MSP, which is designed to ensure that militarily useful U.S. Flag vessels are available to the U.S. Department of Defense in the event of war or national emergency. We receive an annual subsidy, subject in each case to annual congressional appropriations, which is intended to offset the increased cost incurred by such vessels from operating under the U.S. Flag. For 2020, we expect to receive $5,000 for each vessel and up to $5,200 for each vessel beginning in 2021. During 2019, we received a $5,000 annual subsidy for each participating MSP vessel. We do not receive a subsidy for any days for which either of the two vessels operate under a time charter to a U.S. government agency.
General and Administrative Expenses
During the third quarter of 2020, general and administrative expenses increased by $852, or 16.1%, to $6,140 from $5,288 in the third quarter of 2019.The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefit costs due to our acquisition of ATC and the resulting increase in headcount.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,998, or 17.7%, to $19,915 from $16,917 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefit costs due to our acquisition of ATC and the resulting increase in headcount.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $5,902 and $18,143 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, compared with $6,047 and $19,124 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. respectively. The decrease in interest expense was primarily associated with the decrease in the 30-Day LIBOR rate on our term loans, due 2023 and 2026, from the same period in 2019. The decrease was offset by additional debt outstanding at September 30, 2020 compared to at September 30, 2019.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded income tax benefits of $192 and $694, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 23% and 16%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we recorded an income tax (provision)/benefit of $(7,212) and $1,075, respectively, which represented effective tax rates of 19% and 32%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019 was substantially due to recording a return to provision benefit causing a more favorable discrete adjustment compared to a small pretax loss in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the establishment of deductible expenses related to Code Section 162(m) in the first quarter of 2019, compared to pretax loss. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was less than the statutory rate due to discrete tax benefits recorded relating to state benefit resulting from the Alaska Tanker Company acquisition, interest related to an alternative minimum tax refund and the tonnage tax exclusion. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was more than the statutory rate due to the discrete tax benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2019 relating to Code Section 162(m) deductible expenses and the tonnage tax exclusion compared to the pretax loss.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Our business is capital intensive. Our ability to successfully implement our strategy is dependent on the continued availability of capital on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to successfully operate our business to meet near-term and long-term debt repayment obligations is dependent on maintaining sufficient liquidity.

Liquidity
Working capital at September 30, 2020 was approximately $(111,000) compared with approximately $(104,000) at December 31, 2019. Excluding the current portion of operating and finance lease liabilities, working capital was approximately $(15,988) at September 30, 2020 compared to $(9,880) at December 31, 2019. The decrease in working capital was primarily due to increases in current installments of long-term debt and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The increase in current installments of long-term debt was due to the Banc of America Alaska tankers term loan and OSG 204 LLC term loan, which we entered into during the first quarter of 2020. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities was related to increases in (a) accrued drydock expenses due to a 248-day increase in scheduled drydocking from December 31, 2019, (b) accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the addition of the Alaskan Explorer, Alaskan Legend and Alaskan Navigator, to our fleet and our acquisition of ATC and (c) payroll taxes payable due to our election to defer employer payroll tax under Section 2302 of the CARES Act. The decrease in working capital was offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily due to the proceeds we received from the OSG 204 LLC term loan.
As of September 30, 2020, we had total liquidity on a consolidated basis comprised of $54,140 of cash and cash equivalents (including $122 of restricted cash). We manage our cash in accordance with our intercompany cash management system, subject to the requirements of our debt facilities. Our cash and cash equivalents, as well as our restricted cash balances, generally exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. We place our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in what we believe to be credit-worthy financial institutions. In addition, certain of our money market accounts invest in U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. The $122 of restricted cash as of September 30, 2020 was related to the Company’s Unsecured Senior Notes.
As of September 30, 2020, we had total debt outstanding (net of original issue discount and deferred financing costs) of $404,541 and a total debt to total capitalization of 52.0%, compared to $368,047 and 51.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2019. Net debt at September 30, 2020 was $350,523 compared to $326,544 at December 31, 2019.
Sources, Uses and Management of Capital
We generate significant cash flows through our complementary mix of time charters, voyage charters and contracts of affreightment. Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $52,270. In addition to operating cash flows, our other current potential sources of funds are proceeds from additional issuances of equity securities, additional borrowings and proceeds from the opportunistic sales of our vessels. In the past, we have also obtained funds from the issuance of long-term debt securities.
We use capital to fund working capital requirements, maintain the quality of our vessels, comply with U.S. and international shipping standards and environmental laws and regulations and repay or repurchase our outstanding loan facilities. We may also use cash generated by operations to finance capital expenditures to modernize and grow our fleet.
We are presently assessing the impact of the expected discontinuation of LIBOR in 2021.
On July 30, 2020, the Company repaid, using cash on hand, its $24,000 term loan secured by the Overseas Gulf Coast.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company did not have, during the periods presented, and does not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019, and as may be updated in our subsequent quarterly reports. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2019 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our industry and our business in significant ways, creating new risks and heightening existing risks. Such risks include:
| ● | Uncertainties in the oil trading markets, with volatile and unpredictable oil pricing; | |
| ● | Drastic decreases in demand that are expected to have a long duration; | |
| ● | Heightened risk of off-hire periods resulting from managing virus-related delays; | |
| ● | Potential and unknowable costs for testing, cleaning, quarantine, immunization and certifications; | |
| ● | Difficulty in easily accessing critical supplies - in particular face masks and other personal protective equipment; | |
| ● | Questionable reliability and effectiveness of testing methodologies and PPE; | |
| ● | Possible delays in receiving critical supplies and the services of specialized technicians; | |
| ● | Unavailability of inspectors and delays in vetting of the vessels; | |
| ● | The imposition of additional operational burdens on our crews; | |
| ● | Reduced availability and unavailability of airlines or other transportation to move our crews into position, and increased costs associated with such travel; | |
| ● | Compliance with mandates and recommendations of various regulatory agencies as they seek to react to continuously evolving information; | |
| ● | Health of our key employees to operate our vessels and executives to manage the business during this turbulent time; | |
| ● | Increased possibilities of refineries and other customers experiencing financial instability or going out of business; | |
| ● | Delayed receipt of payments owed to us; and | |
| ● | Increased costs to develop and implement policies and procedures to deal with all of these challenges. |
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the environment within which we operate is under ongoing stress, presenting risks and vulnerabilities that have previously not affected our performance. The level of uncertainty about the extent, duration and ultimate impact of the forces that are currently unsettling our markets has never been greater and will impact how supply, demand and price of crude oil will unfold in the months ahead. We expect to incur ongoing costs to address these challenges.
Direct management and operational risks exist now and are likely to continue and increase in the future relating to our ability to effectively sustain operational readiness. We may encounter challenges getting crew to and from our vessels in a manner that both protects their personal safety and endeavors to assure that a joining crew member is not bringing COVID-19 onto a vessel or is otherwise affecting a vessel’s acceptability in service. Our ability to adapt and implement policies and procedures in this regard, and to anticipate associated costs, are subject to developing consensus with relevant constituencies, including regulatory authorities, health officials, unions, customers, and those in our industry and supply chain, to achieve consistency and a common approach to coping with the very real and very difficult problems presented by COVID-19. There are heightened risks in our ability to comply with what are evolving, and sometimes conflicting, logistical health and safety protocols.
In addition, we see heightened risks of off-hire periods resulting from managing virus-related delays, and anticipate increased costs for testing, cleaning, quarantine, immunization and certifications. Difficulty in accessing critical supplies, such as face masks and other personal protective equipment, receiving spare parts, and obtaining timely services of specialized technicians, impose additional operational burdens. It is not certain whether testing methodologies and personal protective equipment will prove reliable as effective measures to protect against the virus, and compliance with mandates and recommendations of various regulatory agencies as they seek to react to continuously evolving information also pose significant risks. We face the potential for increased costs and claims in the event that an employee tests positive for COVID-19.

Further risks relate to potential longer-term impacts of the virus on our Jones Act trade. We are experiencing reduced cargo volumes and increased idle times, derivatives of falling refinery runs and unprecedented demand destruction for transportation fuels arising out of stay-at-home policies in many populated regions. The models we typically use to forecast demand may not be reliable in the wake of this health emergency. A V-shaped recovery is not expected in transportation fuel demand, with uneven recovery predicted in various fuel sectors. The shape and speed of fuel demand recovery could have significant negative impacts on our key customers, refineries in particular, which would likely have a material impact on both domestic tank vessel demand as well as on OSG’s expected forward revenue streams. Our shuttle tankers rely on customers with wells and fields in the Gulf of Mexico. Customers with high cash production costs are likely to be vulnerable to production cuts. In the event that wells and fields are shut in response to persistently low oil prices, this could have a material adverse effect on the revenues generated by our shuttle tankers.
It should be anticipated that volatility in rates will continue. The overall level of crude oil production cuts in the U.S. over the coming months and the impact of these cuts on the relative price differentials between domestic and comparable international crude oil are significant factors for the U.S. trades. Declining crude oil production, coupled with the increase of tonnage released back into the market once product stored is delivered for consumption, will likely impact negatively on future rates. We have exposed risk to those of our vessels which come into the spot market, as rate and utilization assumptions for those vessels must cover a wide range of possible scenarios. The range of possible outcomes is wide and the possible impact on actual rates achieved unknowable at this time.
