In addition, the actual amount of cash available for distribution to our unitholders will depend on other factors, including:

  the level of capital expenditures we make, including for maintaining, repairing or replacing vessels, building new vessels, acquiring second-hand vessels and complying with regulations;  

  the number of unscheduled off-hire days for our Fleet and the timing of, and number of days required for, scheduled dry-docking of our vessels;  

  our debt service requirements and restrictions on distributions contained in our debt instruments;

  our ability to make, and the level of, working capital borrowings;  

  the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute cash to us; and  

  the amount of any cash reserves established by our Board of Directors.  

The amount of cash we generate from our operations may differ materially from our profit or loss for the period, which will be affected by non-cash items. We may also incur expenses or liabilities or be subject to other circumstances in the future that reduce or eliminate the amount of cash that we have available for distributions. As a result of this and the other factors mentioned above, we may make cash distributions during periods when we record losses and may not make cash distributions during periods when we record earnings.

Our future operational success depends on our ability to expand relationships with our existing charterers, establish relationships with new charterers and obtain new time charter contracts, for which we face substantial competition from established companies with significant resources and potential new entrants.

We have secured an estimated contract backlog of $0.95 billion for the vessels in our Fleet as of the date of this annual report
