Scrubber system installations are timed to coincide with the drydocking schedule. As of June 30, 2025, we had scrubber systems on 11 of our owned vessels, with an additional two installations scheduled during the six-month period ending December 31, 2025. No additional scrubber installations are contemplated after 2025. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates. Accounting estimates and assumptions that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties are discussed in “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no significant changes to these estimates and assumptions during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
