notes to the consolidated financial statements non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2009 , we classified the atlantic star as held for sale and recognized a charge of $ 7.1 million to reduce the carrying value of the ship to its fair value less cost to sell based on a firm offer received during 2009 . this amount was recorded within other operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations . we determined the fair market value of the atlantic star as of december 31 , 2010 based on comparable ship sales adjusted for the condition , age and size of the ship . we have categorized these inputs as level 3 because they are largely based on our own assump- tions . as of december 31 , 2010 , the carrying amount of the atlantic star which we still believe represents its fair value was $ 46.4 million . the following table presents a reconciliation of the company 2019s fuel call options 2019 beginning and ending balances as follows ( in thousands ) : fair value fair value measurements measurements using significant using significant unobservable unobservable year ended december 31 , 2010 inputs ( level 3 ) year ended december 31 , 2009 inputs ( level 3 ) fuel call options fuel call options balance at january 1 , 2010 $ 9998 balance at january 1 , 2009 $ 2007 2007 2007 2007 2014 total gains or losses ( realized/ unrealized ) total gains or losses ( realized/ unrealized ) .

the amount of total gains or losses for the period included in other income ( expense ) attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held at the reporting date $ ( 2824 ) the amount of total gains or losses for the period included in other income ( expense ) attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held at the reporting date $ ( 2538 ) during the fourth quarter of 2010 , we changed our valuation technique for fuel call options to a market approach method which employs inputs that are observable .
the fair value for fuel call options is determined by using the prevailing market price for the instruments consisting of published price quotes for similar assets based on recent transactions in an active market .
we believe that level 2 categorization is appropriate due to an increase in the observability and transparency of significant inputs .
previously , we derived the fair value of our fuel call options using standard option pricing models with inputs based on the options 2019 contract terms and data either readily available or formulated from public market informa- tion .
the fuel call options were categorized as level 3 because certain inputs , principally volatility , were unobservable .
net transfers in and/or out of level 3 are reported as having occurred at the end of the quarter in which the transfer occurred ; therefore , gains or losses reflected in the table above for 2010 include fourth quarter fuel call option gains or losses .
the reported fair values are based on a variety of factors and assumptions .
accordingly , the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instru- ments and long-lived assets that could have been realized as of december 31 , 2010 or december 31 , 2009 , or that will be realized in the future and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement .
derivative instruments we are exposed to market risk attributable to changes in interest rates , foreign currency exchange rates and fuel prices .
we manage these risks through a combi- nation of our normal operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments pursuant to our hedging practices and policies .
the financial impact of these hedging instruments is pri- marily offset by corresponding changes in the under- lying exposures being hedged .
we achieve this by closely matching the amount , term and conditions of the derivative instrument with the underlying risk being hedged .
we do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes .
we monitor our derivative positions using techniques including market valuations and sensitivity analyses. .
