| Basis Of Presentation and General Information | 1. Basis of Presentation and General Information
Capital Product Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) was formed on January 16, 2007, under the laws of the Marshall Islands. The Partnership is an international shipping company. Its fleet of thirty modern high specification vessels consists of four suezmax crude oil tankers, eighteen modern medium range tankers all of which are classed as IMO II/III vessels, seven post-panamax container carrier vessels and one capesize bulk carrier. Its vessels are capable of carrying a wide range of cargoes, including crude oil, refined oil products, such as gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and jet fuel, edible oils and certain chemicals such as ethanol as well as dry cargo and containerized goods under short-term voyage charters and medium to long-term time and bareboat charters.
The consolidated financial statements include the following vessel-owning companies and operating companies which were all incorporated or formed under the laws of the Marshall Islands and Liberia.
(1) Initial Vessels acquired from Capital Maritime & Trading Corp. (“CMTC”) upon consummation of the Partnership's Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) which was completed on April 3, 2007.
(2) Committed Vessels (the Partnership committed to acquire these vessels from CMTC upon consummation of the IPO).
(3) Non-Contracted Vessels (vessels acquired from CMTC that were neither initial nor committed vessels).
(4) Was acquired on April 4, 2007, on April 7, 2009 was exchanged with the M/T Agamemnon II and was reacquired on August 16, 2010.
(5) Was acquired on May 8, 2007, on April 13, 2009 was exchanged with the M/T Ayrton II and was reacquired on March 1, 2010.
(6) Were acquired upon the completion of the business acquisition of Crude Carriers Corp. (“Crude”).
(7) Was sold on February 14, 2012.
(8) Was sold on April 4, 2012.
(9) On December 22, 2012 the M/T Alexander the Great and the M/T Achilleas were exchanged with the M/V Archimidis and the M/V Agamemnon respectively.
(10) Was sold on November 5, 2013.
Immaterial reclassification to correct prior period presentation: As noted in Note 12, during the year ended December 31, 2013, various holders of the class B units converted 5,733,333 class B units into common units valued at $50,318. Furthermore on August 23, 2013 the Partnership converted 349,700 common units into general partner units valued at $3,060. In the current period, a prior period error was identified, as the Partnership did not reflect the value of these conversions in its consolidated statements of changes in partners' capital for the year ended December 31, 2013 and its consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2013. Total partners' capital remained unchanged as the reclassification impacted only the Partnership's Limited Partners - Common, the Partnership's Limited Partners - Preferred and General Partner, and no other financial statement line items were impacted by these reclassifications. This includes net income per common unit (basic and diluted), as the converted class B units were appropriately included in the net income per unit calculation. The Partnership has quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated the materiality of the omission and has determined that it was immaterial to the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the reclassifications were recorded retrospectively by revising the 2013 comparatives in the Partnership's consolidated balance sheet and its consolidated statements of changes in partners' capital as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which resulted in an increase of $47,258 and $3,060 to the Partnership's Limited Partners - Common and General Partner respectively and a decrease of $50,318 to the company's Limited Partners - Preferred. |

| Significant Accounting Policies (Abstract) | |||
| Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and include the accounts of the legal entities comprising the Partnership as discussed in Note 1. Intra-group balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Balances and transactions with CMTC and its affiliates have not been eliminated, but are presented as balances and transactions with related parties.
(b) Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Other Comprehensive Income: The Partnership separately records certain transactions directly as components of partners' capital. For the year ended December 31, 2014 there was no other comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2013 other comprehensive income was comprised of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps that qualified as cash flow hedge and the amortization of the accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to interest rate swaps that did not qualify as cash flow hedge (Note 8).
(d) Accounting for Revenue, Voyage and Operating Expenses: The Partnership generates its revenues from charterers for the charter hire of its vessels. Vessels are chartered on time charters, bareboat charters or voyage charters. A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel for a specific period of time and a specified daily charter hire rate, which is generally payable monthly in advance. Some of the Partnership's time charters also include profit sharing provisions, under which the Partnership can realize additional revenues in the event that spot rates are higher than the base rates in these time charters. A bareboat charter is a contract in which the vessel owner provides the vessel to the charterer for a fixed period of time at a specified daily rate, which is generally payable monthly in advance, and the charterer generally assumes all risk and costs of operation during the bareboat charter period. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the later of the completion of discharge of the vessel's previous cargo or upon vessel arrival to the agreed upon port, based on the terms of a voyage contract that is not cancelable and voyage is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the delivered cargo. Revenues under voyage charter agreements are recognized when a voyage agreement exists, the price is fixed, service is provided and the collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured.
Revenues are recorded over the term of the charter as service is provided and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage.
Time, bareboat and voyage charter revenues are recognized when a charter agreement exists, charter rate is fixed and determinable, the vessel is made available to the lessee, and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Revenues are recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the period of the respective charter. Revenues from profit sharing arrangements in time charters represent a portion of time charter equivalent (voyage income less direct expenses, divided by operating days), that exceeds the agreed base rate and are recognized in the period earned. Deferred revenue represents cash received in advance of being earned. The portion of the deferred revenue that will be earned within the next twelve months is classified as current liability and the rest as long term liability.
Vessel voyage expenses are direct expenses to voyage revenues and primarily consist of commissions, port expenses, canal dues and bunkers. Commissions are expensed over the related charter period and all the other voyage expenses are expensed as incurred. In general under time and bareboat charter agreements, all voyages expenses, except commissions are assumed by the charterer. For voyage charters all voyage expenses are paid by the Partnership.
Vessel operating expenses presented in the consolidated financial statements mainly consisted of:
Vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
(e) Foreign Currency Transactions: The functional currency of the Partnership is the U.S. Dollar because the Partnership's vessels operate in international shipping markets that utilize the U.S. Dollar as the functional currency. The accounting records of the Partnership are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at those dates. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in interest and other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss).
(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Partnership considers highly-liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(g) Restricted cash: For the Partnership to comply with debt covenants under its credit facilities, it must maintain minimum cash deposits. Such deposits are considered by the Partnership to be restricted cash. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, restricted cash amounted to $15,000 for each year and is presented under other non-current assets.
(h) Trade Accounts Receivable, Net: The amount shown as trade accounts receivable primarily consists of earned revenue that has not been billed yet or that it has been billed but not yet collected. At each balance sheet date all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate write off. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the respective write off amounted to $70 and $84, respectively.
(i) Inventories: Inventories consist of consumable bunkers, lubricants, spares and stores and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
(j) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist of vessels which are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Vessel cost consists of the contract price for the vessel and any material expenses incurred upon their construction (improvements and delivery expenses, on-site supervision costs incurred during the construction periods, as well as capitalized interest expense during the construction period). Vessels acquired through acquisition of businesses are recorded at their acquisition date fair values. The cost of each of the Partnership's vessels is depreciated beginning when the vessel is ready for its intended use, on a straight-line basis over the vessels' remaining economic useful life, after considering the estimated residual value. Management estimates the scrap value of the Partnership's vessels to be $0.2 per light weight ton (LWT) and useful life to be 25 years.
(k) Impairment of Long-lived Assets: An impairment loss on long-lived assets is recognized when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is greater than its fair value and not believed to be recoverable. In determining future benefits derived from use of long-lived assets, the Partnership performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets on a vessel by vessel basis. If the carrying value of the related asset exceeds its undiscounted future net cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to its fair value. Various factors including future charter rates and vessel operating costs are included in this analysis.
In recent years market conditions as compared to previous years have changed significantly as a result of the global credit crisis and resulting slowdown in world trade. Charter rates decreased and values of assets were affected. The Partnership considered these market developments as indicators of potential impairment of the carrying amount of its vessels. The Partnership has performed an undiscounted cash flow test based on US GAAP as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, determining undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for the vessels and comparing them to the vessels' carrying values. In developing estimates of future cash flows, the Partnership made assumptions about future charter rates, utilization rates, vessel operating expenses, future dry docking costs and the estimated remaining useful life of the vessels. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations that are in line with the Partnership's historical performance and expectations for the vessels' utilization under the current deployment strategy. Based on these assumptions, the Partnership determined that the undiscounted cash flows supported the vessels' carrying amounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
(l) Intangible assets: The Partnership records all identified tangible and intangible assets or any liabilities associated with the acquisition of a business at fair value. When a business is acquired that owns a vessel with an existing charter agreement, the Partnership determines the present value of the difference between: (i) the contractual charter rate and (ii) the prevailing market rate for a charter of equivalent duration. When determining present value, the Partnership uses Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”). The resulting above-market (assets) and below-market (liabilities) charters are amortized using straight line method as a reduction and increase, respectively, to revenues over the remaining term of the charters.
(m) Deferred charges, net: are comprised mainly of:
(n) Pension and Retirement Benefit Obligations: The vessel-owning companies included in the consolidated financial statements employ the crew on board under short-term contracts (usually up to seven months) and accordingly, they are not liable for any pension or post retirement benefits.
(o) Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, interest rate swaps, and trade accounts receivable. The Partnership places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, and enters into interest rate swap agreements with creditworthy financial institutions rated by qualified rating agencies. A limited number of financial institutions hold the Partnership's cash. Most of the Partnership's revenues were derived from a few charterers. For the year ended December 31, 2014 CMTC, Hyundai Merchant Marine Co Ltd (“HMM”) and A.P. Moller-Maersk A.S. (“Maersk”) accounted for 38%, 24% and 12% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, CMTC, British Petroleum Shipping Limited (“BP”), Maersk and HMM accounted for 32%, 17%, 14% and 13% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, CMTC and BP accounted for 45% and 23% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. The Partnership does not obtain rights of collateral from its charterers to reduce its credit risk.
(p) Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Partnership adopted the accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements for financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying value of trade receivables, due from related parties, due to related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value. The fair values of long-term variable rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, due to their variable interest being the LIBOR and due to the fact the lenders have the ability to pass on their funding cost to the Partnership under certain circumstances, which reflects their current assessed risk. We believe the terms of our loans are similar to those that could be procured as of December 31, 2014. LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy (Note 8). When the Partnership enters into interest swaps agreements the respective interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.
(q) Interest Rate Swap Agreements: The Partnership designates its derivatives based upon the intended use, and recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of each derivative instrument are recorded depending on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the effective portion are recognized at the end of each reporting period in “other comprehensive income / (loss)”, until the hedged item is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss).
(r) Net Income / (Loss) Per Limited Partner Unit: Basic net income / loss per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing Partnership's net income / loss less net income allocable to preferred unit holders, general partner's interest in net income (including incentive distribution rights) and net income allocable to unvested units, by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period (Note 14). Diluted net income per limited partner unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue limited partner units were exercised.
(s) Income Taxes: The Partnership is not subject to the payment of any income tax on its income. Instead, a tax is levied based on the tonnage of the vessels, which is included in vessel operating expenses (Note 11).
(t) Segment Reporting: The Partnership reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues and not by the length, type of vessel or type of ship employment for its customers, i.e. time or bareboat charters. The Partnership does not use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for each such type of charter or vessel. Although revenue can be identified for these types of charters or vessels, management cannot and does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for these various types of charters or vessels. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet, and thus the Partnership has determined that it operates as one reportable segment. Furthermore, when the Partnership charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable.
(u) Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan: Equity compensation expense represents vested and unvested units granted to employees and to non-employee directors, for their services as directors, as well as to non-employees and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). These units are measured at their fair value equal to the market value of the Partnership's common units on the grant date. The units that contain a time-based service vesting condition are considered unvested units on the grant date and a total fair value of such units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In addition, unvested awards granted to non-employees are measured at their then-current fair value as of the financial reporting dates (Note 13).
(v) Recent Accounting Pronouncements: On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This standard is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard.

The Partnership accounted for the acquisition of Anax as an acquisition of a business. All assets and liabilities of Anax except the vessel, necessary permits and time charter agreement, were retained by CMTC. The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated to the identifiable assets acquired, with the excess of the fair value of assets acquired over the purchase price recorded as a gain from bargain purchase.
The total purchase consideration of $65,000 was funded using a portion of the $75,000 that the Partnership had drawn down under its new loan facility (Note 7), part of the net proceeds from the issuance of 13,685,000 Partnership's Common Units in August 2013 (Note 12) and part of the Partnership's available cash.

The fair value of the above market time charter acquired was determined as the difference between the time charter rate at which the vessel was fixed at and the market rate for a comparable charter as provided by independent third parties on the business combination date discounted at a WACC of approximately 11%.
Total revenues and net income of M/V Hyundai Prestige since its acquisition by the Partnership were $2,778 and $1,298 respectively and are included in the Partnership's consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

| Transactions with Related Parties | 4. Transactions with Related Parties
The Partnership and its subsidiaries have related party transactions with the Manager, arising from certain terms of the following three different types of management agreements.
1. Fixed fee management agreement: At the time of the completion of the IPO, the Partnership entered into an agreement with its Manager, according to which the Manager provides the Partnership with certain commercial and technical management services for a fixed daily fee per managed vessel which covers the commercial and technical management services, the respective vessels' operating costs such as crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, and lubricants as well as the cost of the first special survey or next scheduled dry-docking, of each vessel. In addition to the fixed daily fees payable under the management agreement, the Manager is entitled to supplementary compensation for additional fees and costs (as defined in the agreement) of any direct and indirect additional expenses it reasonably incurs in providing these services, which may vary from time to time. The Partnership also pays a fixed daily fee per bareboat chartered vessel in its fleet, mainly to cover compliance and commercial costs, which include those costs incurred by the Manager to remain in compliance with the oil majors' requirements, including vetting requirements;
2. Floating fee management agreement: On June 9, 2011, the Partnership entered into an agreement with its Manager based on actual expenses per managed vessel with an initial term of five years. Under the terms of this agreement, the Partnership compensates its Manager for expenses and liabilities incurred on the Partnership's behalf while providing the agreed services, including, but not limited to, crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating costs. Costs and expenses associated with a managed vessel's next scheduled dry-docking are borne by the Partnership and not by the Manager. The Partnership also pays its Manager a daily technical management fee per managed vessel that is revised annually based on the United States Consumer Price Index; and
3. Crude management agreement: On September 30, 2011, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Crude. The five crude tanker vessels, which the Partnership acquired at the time of the completion of the merger with Crude, continue to be managed under a management agreement entered into in March 2010 with the Manager, whose initial term expires on December 31, 2020. Under the terms of this agreement the Partnership compensates the Manager for all of its expenses and liabilities incurred on the Partnership's behalf while providing the agreed services, including, but not limited to, crew, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, spares, lubricants and other operating and administrative costs. The Partnership also pays its Manager the following fees:
(a) a daily technical management fee per managed vessel that is revised annually based on the United States Consumer Price Index;
(b) a sale & purchase fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase or sale price upon the consummation of any purchase or sale of a vessel acquired/disposed by Crude; and
(c) a commercial services fee equal to 1.25% of all gross charter revenues generated by each vessel for commercial services rendered.
The Manager has the right to terminate the Crude management agreement and, under certain circumstances, could receive substantial sums in connection with such termination. As of March 2014 this termination fee had been adjusted to $9,760.
All the above three agreements constitute the “Management Agreements”.
Under the terms of the fixed fee management agreement, the Manager charged the Partnership for additional fees and costs, relating to insurances deductibles, vetting, and repairs and spares that related to unforeseen events.

(a) Advances for vessels under construction - related party
An analysis of advances for vessels under construction - related party is as follows:
On July 24, 2014, the Partnership entered into a Master Agreement with CMTC to acquire five vessel owning companies that owned five under construction vessels (the “new buildings”) subject to the amendment of the partnership agreement to reset the target distributions to holders of the IDR (Note 12). As the reset of the IDR was a pre-condition for the acquisition of the vessels, the amount of $ 36,417, representing the difference between the fair value of the respective new buildings at the time of the approval of this transaction in August 2014 at the Partnership's annual general meeting of $ 347,917 and the contractual cash consideration of $ 311,500, is considered to be the deemed equity contribution and thus the fair value of the reset of the IDR. The fair value of the IDR reset has been accounted for in Partner's capital and is presented as “Excess between the fair value of the contracted vessels and the contractual cash consideration” in the consolidated statements of changes in partners' capital and in “Advances for vessels under construction - related party” in its consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the new buildings amounting to $ 347,917 was based on the average of three valuations obtained from three independent shipbrokers.
The first two vessels are 50,000 dwt product carriers and the remaining three are 9,100 TEU post-panamax container carriers. with expected delivery dates between March and November 2015. Following the successful follow-on offering in September 2014 (Note 12), the Partnership made on September 10, 2014, an advance payment to CMTC of $30,224 in connection with the above acquisitions, and is presented as “Advances for vessels under construction - related party” in the Partnership's consolidated balance sheets. According to the Master Agreement the Partnership also has the right of first refusal to acquire six additional new building product tanker vessels with expected delivery dates in 2016.
(b) Vessels, net
An analysis of vessels is as follows:
All of the Partnership's vessels as of December 31, 2014 have been provided as collateral to secure the Partnership's credit facilities.
During 2014, M/T Ayrton II and M/T Amore Mio II underwent improvements during their scheduled special and intermediate survey, respectively. The costs of these improvements for both vessels amounted to $183 and were capitalized as part of the vessels' historic cost.
On November 28, 2013, the Company acquired the M/T Aristarchos (renamed M/T Aristotelis), a 51,604 dwt eco type medium range product tanker built in 2013, from an unrelated third party, for a total consideration of $38,141 including initial expenses of $111. The acquisition price was funded from the selling proceeds of the M/T Agamemnon II and from the Partnership's available cash.
On November 5, 2013, the Company disposed of the M/T Agamemnon II a 51,238 dwt chemical tanker built in 2008 for net proceeds of $32,192 to an unrelated third party. The Partnership realized a net loss on this disposal of $7,073 as the carrying value of the vessel at the time of her disposal was $38,923. This net loss is presented in the Partnership's consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss) as “Loss / (gain) on sale of vessels to third parties”.
On September 11, 2013, the Company acquired the shares of Anax Container Carrier S.A., the vessel owning company of the M/V Hyundai Prestige, Thiseas Container Carrier S.A., the vessel owning company of the M/V Hyundai Privilege and Cronus Container Carrier S.A., the vessel owning company of the M/V Hyundai Platinum (Note 3). The vessels were recorded in the Partnership's financial statements at their respective fair values of $54,000 each as quoted by independent brokers at the time of their acquisition by the Partnership.
On March 20 and March 27, 2013, the Company acquired the shares of Hercules Container Carrier S.A., the vessel owning company of M/V Hyundai Premium, and Iason Container Carrier S.A., the vessel owning company of the M/V Hyundai Paramount, respectively (Note 3). The vessels were recorded in the Partnership's financial statements at their respective fair values of $54,000 each as quoted by independent brokers at the time of their acquisition by the Partnership.

| Long-Term Debt | 7. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consists of the following:
As at December 31, 2014, the amounts drawn down under the Partnership's four credit facilities were as follows:
In September 2013 the Partnership entered into a new senior secured credit facility of up to $200,000, which was amended in December, 2013 to upsize it up to $225,000, led by ING Bank N.V. in order to partly finance the acquisition cost of certain vessels. The facility is divided in two tranches. Tranche A consisted of $75,000 which was drawn down on September 11, 2013 in order to part finance the acquisition cost of the shares of Anax Container Carrier S.A., Cronus Container Carrier S.A. and Thiseas Container Carrier S.A. that were the owning companies of the 2013-built 5,000 TEU container vessels “Hyundai Prestige”, “Hyundai Privilege” and “Hyundai Platinum” respectively (Note 3). Tranche B, consisted of $150,000, which will be available in multiple advances in order to finance up to 50% of the acquisition cost of certain additional ships or to finance the cost of acquiring the issued share capital of an additional vessel owning company. As of December 31, 2014 the Partnership had not drawn down any amount of Tranche B. The facility is repayable in twenty consecutive quarterly installments, beginning in March 2016, in the amount that provides for the overall thirteen and sixteen year repayment profiles on sub facilities A (Tranche A) and B (Tranche B) respectively, after adjustment for the security vessel age at acquisition date and availability period.
All amounts outstanding, including the balloon payment, will become due and payable in December 2020. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.50% and commitment fees of 1.0%.
In November, 2013 the Partnership amended its credit facility of $370,000 in order to replace the M/T Agamemnon II which was sold on November 5, 2013 (Note 5) with the M/T Aristotelis as a security.
In March, 2013, the Partnership's credit facility of $350,000 was converted into a term loan, and the undrawn amount of $1,420 was cancelled.
On March 20, and March 27, 2013, the Partnership had drawn in total the amount of $54,000 from the undrawn portion of its $350,000 credit facility in order to partly finance the acquisition of the vessel owning companies of the M/V Hyundai Premium and the M/V Hyundai Paramount respectively (Note 3). The Partnership's loan of $370,000 will be repaid in 6 equal consecutive quarterly installments of $12,975 commencing in March, 2016 plus a balloon payment due in June, 2017. The Partnership's credit facility of $350,000, exluded the portion of $54,000, will be repaid in 9 equal consecutive quarterly installments of $7,855 commencing in March, 2016 plus a balloon payment due in March, 2018. The amount of $54,000 is payable in twenty equal consecutive quarterly installments of $1,350 commencing in June 2013 plus a balloon payment of $27,000 in March 2018. The Partnership's credit facility of $25,000 will be repaid in 9 equal consecutive quarterly installments of $1,000 commencing in March, 2016 plus a balloon payment for each facility due in March, 2018.
The Partnership's credit facilities contain customary ship finance covenants, including restrictions as to: changes in management and ownership of the mortgaged vessels, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the mortgaging of vessels, the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest Expenses shall be no less than 2:1, minimum cash requirement of $500 per vessel, as well as the ratio of net Total Indebtedness to the aggregate Market Value of the total fleet shall not exceed 0.725:1. The credit facilities also contain the collateral maintenance requirement in which the aggregate average fair market value, of the collateral vessels shall be no less than 125% of the aggregate outstanding amount under these facilities. Also the vessel-owning companies may pay dividends or make distributions when no event of default has occurred and the payment of such dividend or distribution has not resulted in a breach of any of the financial covenants. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Partnership was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.
The credit facilities have a general assignment of the earnings, insurances and requisition compensation of the respective vessel or vessels. Each also requires additional security, including: pledge and charge on current account; corporate guarantee from each of the thirty vessel-owning companies, and mortgage interest insurance.
The Partnership's credit facilities contain a “Market Disruption Clause” where the lenders, at their discretion, may impose additional interest margin if their borrowing rate exceeds effective interest rate (LIBOR) stated in the loan agreement with the Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 the Partnership incurred an additional interest expense in the amount of $0, $0 and $373 respectively due to the “Market Disruption Clause”.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership recorded interest expense of $16,480, $14,982 and $25,788, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the weighted average interest rate of the Partnership's loan facilities was 2.81% for both periods.
The required annual loan payments to be made subsequent to December 31, 2014 are as follows:

| Derivative Instruments | 8. Derivative Instruments
The Partnership had entered into fourteen interest rate swap agreements in order to mitigate the exposure from interest rate fluctuations. Nine of the Partnership's interest rate swap agreements under its $370,000 credit facility expired as of June 29, 2012 and one was terminated upon the disposal of the M/T Attikos and the M/T Aristofanis. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership terminated one interest rate swap agreement in full and one partially under its $350,000 credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership's three remaining swaps with a notional amount of $59,084 expired. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Partnership did not enter into any interest rate swap agreements.
The table below shows the effective portion of the hedging relationship of the Partnership's derivatives designated as hedging instruments recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), the realized losses from net interest rate settlements transferred from OCI into the Partnership's consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss) and the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss) arising from the hedging relationships not qualifying for hedge accounting for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively; for the year ended December 31, 2014 there was no such transaction:
The Partnership follows the accounting guidance for derivative instruments that establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Partnership's interest rate swap agreements, entered into pursuant to its loan agreements, are based on LIBOR swap rates. LIBOR swap rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the swaps and therefore are considered Level 2 items. The fair values of the interest rate swap determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparable, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined. Fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow method based on market-based LIBOR swap yield curves.
The fair value of the Partnership's interest rate swaps is the estimated value of the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the forward yield curve and the creditworthiness of the Partnership and its counterparties.
Since March 31, 2012 and May 23, 2012 two out of three interest rate swaps did not qualify as cash flow hedges and the changes in their fair value was recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss) whilst the third interest rate swap agreement qualified as a cash flow hedge and the changes in its fair value is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss). As a result the amount of $1,400 and $50, which was part of the Partnership's accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss) (“OCL”) as of March 31, 2012 and May 23, 2012 respectively, were attributable to the two ineffective hedges and were being amortized over their respective remaining term up to their maturity date March 27, 2013 and March 28, 2013, respectively in the Partnership's consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss) by using the effective interest rate method.
The net result of the accumulated OCL amortization and the change of the fair value of certain interest rate swap agreements of $4 and $1,448 is presented under other income / (expense) as a “Gain on interest rate swap agreement” in the Partnership's consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under the laws of the Marshall Islands and Liberia, the country in which the vessel-owning subsidiaries were incorporated, these companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income. However, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes in the country in which the vessels are registered and managed from, which have been included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss).
Pursuant to Section 883 of the United States Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder, a foreign corporation engaged in the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. federal income tax on its U.S.-source shipping income if the foreign corporation meets both of the following requirements: (a) the foreign corporation is organized in a foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States for the types of shipping income (e.g., voyage, time, bareboat charter) earned by the foreign corporation and (b) more than 50% of the voting power and value of the foreign corporation's stock is “primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market” in the United States and certain other requirements are satisfied (the “Publicly-Traded Test”).

| Partners' Capital | 12. Partners' Capital
General: The partnership agreement requires that within 45 days after the end of each quarter, beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2007, all of the Partnership's available cash will be distributed to unitholders.
Definition of Available Cash: Available Cash, for each fiscal quarter, consists of all cash on hand at the end of the quarter:
General Partner Interest and Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”): The General Partner has a 2% interest in the Partnership as well as the incentive distribution rights. In accordance with Section 5.2(b) of the partnership agreement, upon the issuance of additional units by the Partnership, the general partner may elect to make a contribution to the Partnership to maintain its 2% interest.
Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. The Partnership's general partner as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 holds the incentive distribution rights.
According to the partnership agreement the following table illustrates the percentage allocations of the additional available cash from operating surplus among the unitholders and general partner up to the various target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions” are the percentage interests of the unitholders and general partner in any available cash from operating surplus that is being distributed up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount,” until available cash from operating surplus the Partnership distributes reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the unitholders and general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution.
On August 21 2014, the Fourth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership was approved, by the Partnership's annual general meeting, so as to revise the target distributions to holders of IDRs.
The Fourth Amendment resets the thresholds for the IDRs as follows:
Following the annual general meeting, CMTC unilaterally notified the Partnership that it has decided to waive its rights to receive quarterly incentive distributions between $0.2425 and $0.25. This waiver effectively increases the First Threshold and the lower bound of the Second Threshold (as referenced in the table above) from $0.2425 to $0.25.
Distributions of Available Cash From Operating Surplus After the Subordination Period: Our partnership agreement requires that we will make distributions of available cash from operating surplus for any quarter after the subordination period in the following manner:
During 2014 and 2013 various investors, holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Units including CMTC, converted 4,698,484 and 5,733,333 Class B Convertible Preferred Units into common units respectively.
During 2014 and 2013 CMTC converted 358,624 and 349,700 common units into general partner units respectively, in order for CGP to maintain its 2% interest in the Partnership.
In December 2014 CMTC acquired 332,040 Partnership's units.
In September 2014, the Partnership completed successfully a follow-on equity offering of 17,250,000 common units, including 2,250,000 common units representing the overallotment option which was fully exercised, at a net price of $10.53 per common unit, receiving proceeds of $173,932 after the deduction of the underwriters' commissions. After the deduction of expenses relating to this equity offering the net proceeds of this offering amounted to $173,504. The Partnership used an amount of $60,000 of the net proceeds to acquire common units from CMTC at a price per unit equal to the offering price (net of underwriting discount). The number of units acquired was equal to an aggregate of 5,950,610 common units which were cancelled immediately, in accordance with the terms of the offering. Furthermore, the Partnership used an additional of $30,224 of the net proceeds of the offering as an advance payment to CMTC in connection with the acquisition of the five new buildings as described in the Master Agreement (Note 5). The remaining balance of the net proceeds of the offering will be used by the Partnership to partly finance the acquisition cost of $311,500, of the new buildings from CMTC and for general Partnership purposes.
In August 2013, the Partnership completed successfully an equity offering of 13,685,000 common units, including 1,785,000 common units representing the overallotment option which was fully exercised, at a net price of $9.25 per common unit, receiving proceeds of $120,696 after the deduction of the underwriters' commissions. After the deduction of expenses relating to this equity offering the net proceeds of this offering amounted to $119,811.
The net proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisition cost of the vessel owning companies of the M/V Hyundai Prestige, the M/V Hyundai Privilege and the M/V Hyundai Platinum from CMTC (Note 3). CMTC participated in both the offering and the exercise of the over-allotment option and purchased 279,286 units at the public offering price.
On March 15, 2013 the Partnership entered into a Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) in order to issue 9,100,000 Class B Convertible Preferred Units at a price of $8.25 per Class B Convertible Preferred Unit to a group of investors including among others Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors L.P., Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and CMTC. The Partnership used the net proceeds of $72,557 to partially fund the acquisition of the vessel owning companies of the M/V Hyundai Premium and the M/V Hyundai Paramount from CMTC (Note 3).
On May 23, and June 6, 2012 the Partnership entered into a Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) with various investors. According to this Agreement the Partnership issued 15,555,554 Class B Convertible Preferred Units to a group of investors including Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors L.P., Swank Capital LLC, Salient Partners, Spring Creek Capital LLC, Mason Street Advisors LLC and CMTC for net proceeds of $136,419. The Partnership used the net proceeds to prepay part of its debt.
The holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Units have the right to convert all or a portion of such Class B Convertible Preferred Units at any time into Common Units at the conversion price of $9 per Class B Convertible Preferred Unit and a conversion rate of one Common Unit per one Class B Convertible Preferred Unit. The Conversion Ratio and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events as described to the Agreement.
Commencing on May 23, 2015, in the event the 30-day volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) and the daily VWAP of the Common Units on the National Securities Exchange on which the Common Units are listed or admitted to trading exceeds 130% of the then applicable Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days out of the 30 consecutive Trading Day period used to calculate the 30-day VWAP (the “Partnership Mandatory Conversion Event”) the Partnership acting pursuant to direction and approval of the Conflicts Committee (following consultation with the full board of directors) shall have the right to convert the Class B Convertible Preferred Units then outstanding in whole or in part into Common Units at the then-applicable Conversion Ratio.
The holders of the outstanding Class B Convertible Preferred Units as of an applicable record date shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Partnership's board of directors or any duly authorized committee, out of legally available funds for such purpose, (a) first, the minimum quarterly Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Distribution Rate on each Class B Convertible Preferred Unit and (b) second, any cumulative Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Arrearage then outstanding, prior to any other distributions made in respect of any other Partnership Interests pursuant to this Agreement in cash. The minimum quarterly Class B Convertible Preferred Unit Distribution Rate shall be payable quarterly which is generally expected to be February 10, May 10, August 10 and November 10, or, if any such date is not a business day, the next succeeding business day.
Any distribution payable on the Class B Convertible Preferred Units for any partial quarter (other than the initial distribution payable on the Class B Convertible Preferred Units for the period from May 22, 2012 through June 30, 2012 that equals to $0.26736 for each Class B Convertible Preferred Unit ) shall equal the product of the minimum quarterly Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution rate of $0.21375 (equal to a 9.5% annual distribution rate, subject to adjustment in the cases where clause of change of control, and/or clause of cross default provisions of the “Agreement” applies).
No distribution on the Class B Convertible Preferred Units shall be authorized by the board of directors or declared or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof, or a default thereunder, or if such authorization, declaration, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. The foregoing, distributions with respect to the Class B Convertible Preferred Units shall accumulate as of the Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution payment date on which they first become payable whether or not any of the foregoing restrictions in above exist, whether or not there is sufficient Available Cash for the payment thereof and whether or not such distributions are authorized. A cumulative Class B Convertible Preferred Unit arrearage shall not bear interest and holders of the Class B Convertible Preferred Units shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, property or Partnership Interests, in excess of the then cumulative Class B Convertible Preferred Unit arrearage plus the minimum quarterly Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution rate for such quarter.
With respect to Class B Convertible Preferred Units that are converted into Common Units, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to a Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution and a Common Unit distribution with respect to the same period, but shall be entitled only to the distribution to be paid based upon the class of Units held as of the close of business on the record date for the distribution in respect of such period; provided , however , that the holder of a converted Class B Convertible Preferred Unit shall remain entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid distributions due with respect to such Unit on or as of the prior Class B Convertible Preferred Unit distribution payment date; and provided, further , that if the Partnership exercises the Partnership Mandatory Conversion Right to convert the Class B Convertible Preferred Units pursuant to this Agreement then the holders' rights with respect to the distribution for the Quarter in which the Partnership Mandatory Conversion Notice is received is as set forth in this Agreement.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 our partners' capital included the following units:
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership declared and paid dividends amounting to $102,798, $88,241, $73,316, respectively.

| Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (Abstract) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan | 13. Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
a. Partnership's Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
On August 21, 2014, at the annual general meeting of the Partnership's unit holders, an amendment and restatement of the Partnership's 2008 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) amended July 22, 2010, was approved so as to increase the maximum number of restricted units authorized for issuance thereunder from 800,000 common units to 1,650,000 common units. During 2014 no awards were granted.
On April 29, 2008, the board of directors approved the Partnership's Plan according to which the Partnership may issue a limited number of awards, not to exceed 500,000 units. The Plan was amended on July 22, 2010 increasing the aggregate number of restricted units issuable under the Plan to 800,000. The Plan is administered by the General Partner as authorized by the board of directors. The persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan are officers, directors, and executive, managerial, administrative and professional employees of the Manager, or CMTC, or other eligible persons (collectively, “key persons”) as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall select based upon such factors as it deems relevant. Members of the board of directors are considered to be employees of the Partnership (“Employees”) for the purposes of recognition of equity compensation expense, while employees of the Manager, CMTC and other eligible persons under the plan are not considered to be employees of the Partnership (“Non-Employees”). Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares.
On August 25 and 31, 2010 CGP awarded 448,000 and 347,200 unvested units to Employees and Non-Employees, respectively. Awards granted to certain Employees vest in three equal annual installments. The remaining awards vested on August 31, 2013.
All unvested units were conditional upon the grantee's continued service as Employee and/or Non-Employee until the applicable vesting date.
The unvested units accrued distributions as declared and paid which were retained by the custodian of the Plan until the vesting date at which they were payable to the grantee. As unvested unit grantees accrued distributions on awards that were expected to vest, such distributions were charged to Partner's capital.
b. Crude's Equity Incentive Plan
On March 1, 2010 Crude adopted an equity incentive plan according to which Crude issued 399,400 shares out of 400,000 restricted shares that were authorized. Members of the board of directors were considered to be employees of Crude (“Employees”), while employees of Crude's affiliates and other eligible persons under this plan were not considered to be employees of Crude (“Non-Employees”). Awards granted to certain Employees vest in three equal annual installments. The remaining awards vested on August 31, 2013.
All unvested units were conditional upon the grantee's continued service as Employee and/or Non-Employee until the applicable vesting date.
The unvested units accrued distributions as declared and paid which were retained by the custodian of the Plan until the vesting date at which they were payable to the grantee. As unvested shares grantees accrued dividends on awards that were expected to vest, such dividends were charged to Stockholders' equity prior to Crude's acquisition and were charged to the Partner's capital subsequent to the acquisition.
c. Acquisition of Crude by the Partnership
Upon the completion of the acquisition of Crude by the Partnership on September 30, 2011, the Crude's Equity Incentive Plan existing on that date was incorporated into the Partnership's Plan at a ratio of 1.56 common Partnership's unit for each Crude share. The 205,000 unvested shares of Crude's Employee award converted to 319,800 Partnership unvested units and the 194,400 unvested shares of Crude's Non-Employee award converted to 303,264 Partnership unvested units. The terms and conditions of both plans are significantly the same and remained unchanged after the acquisition, with the exception of 20,000 Crude shares, which were converted to 31,200 Partnership units upon the completion of the acquisition. These Crude shares were held by those members of the Crude's Independent Committee who were not designated by Crude to serve as a member of the Partnership's board of directors and were vested in full immediately upon the consummation of the acquisition on September 30, 2011.
The following table contains details of our plans:
For the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 the equity compensation expense that has been charged in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss) was $0, $1,216 and $1,834 for the Employee awards and $0, $2,312 and $1,992 for the Non-Employee awards, respectively. This expense had been included in general and administrative expenses for each respective year.
The Partnership had used the straight-line method to recognize the cost of the awards.

| Net (Loss)/ Income Per Unit | 14. Net Income / (Loss) Per Unit
The general partner's, common unit holders' interests in net income are calculated as if all net income for periods subsequent to April 4, 2007, were distributed according to the terms of the partnership agreement, regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The partnership agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash (Note 12), which is a contractually-defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter after establishment of cash reserves established by the Partnership's board of directors to provide for the proper resources for the Partnership's business. Unlike available cash, net income is affected by non-cash items. The Partnership follows the guidance relating to the Application of the Two-Class Method and its application to Master Limited Partnerships which considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the Two-Class Method.
This guidance also considers whether the partnership agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the incentive distribution rights that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the incentive distribution rights for each reporting period.
Under the partnership agreement, the holder of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership, which is currently the CGP, assuming that there are no cumulative arrearages on common unit distributions, has the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions (Note 12).
The Partnership also excluded the dilutive effect of the 14,223,737 Class B Convertible Preferred Units in calculating dilutive EPU as of December 31, 2014 as they were anti-dilutive.
All common units' equivalents were antidilutive for the year ended December 31, 2012 because the limited partners were allocated a net loss.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no non-vested units.
Excluding the non-cash gain from bargain purchase for the years ended December 31, 2013 and vessels' impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2012, as these were not distributed to the Partnership's unit holders the Partnership's net income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 did not exceed the First Target Distribution Level, and as a result, the assumed distribution of net income did not result in the use of increasing percentages to calculate CGP's interest in net income.

| Gain on sale of claim | 15. Gain on sale of claim
On November 14, 2012, OSG and certain of its subsidiaries made a voluntary filing for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Partnership had three IMO II/III Chemical/Product tankers (M/T Alexandros II, M/T Aristotelis II and M/T Aris II) or (the “Vessels”), all built in 2008 by STX Offshore & Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. with long term bareboat charters to subsidiaries of OSG (“Original Charter Contracts” or “Rejected Charters”).
After discussions with OSG, the Partnership agreed to enter into new charter contracts (“New Charter Contracts”) with OSG on substantially the same terms as the Original Charter Contracts, but at a bareboat rate of $6.3 per day per vessel instead of $13.0 per day per vessel as per the Original Charter Contracts. The new charters were approved by the Bankruptcy Court on March 21, 2013 and were effective as of March 1, 2013. On the same date, the Bankruptcy Court also rejected the Original Charter Contracts as of March 1, 2013. Rejection of each charter constitutes a material breach of such charter. On May 24, 2013, the Partnership filed claims (the “Claims”) against each of the charterers and their respective guarantors for damages resulting from the rejection of each of the Original Charter Contracts, including, among other things, the difference between the reduced amount of the New Charter Contracts and the amount due under each of the Rejected Charters. The total claim amount of the three claims stood at $54,096 (“Total Claim Amount”).
The Partnership unconditionally and irrevocably sold, transferred and assigned to Deutsche Bank, 100% of its right, title, interest, claims and causes of action in and to arising in connection with all three of the claims that the vessel-owning subsidiaries have against OSG, via Assignment Agreements signed on June 25, 2013, thus releasing the Partnership from any payments or distributions of money or property in respect of the claim to be delivered or made to Deutsche Bank. In connection with the Assignment Agreements, on July 2, 2013, Deutsche Bank filed with the Bankruptcy Court six separate Evidences of Transfer of Claim, each pertaining to the Partnership's vessel-owning subsidiaries' claims against each charterer party to the original three charter agreements and each respective guarantor thereof.
On June 26, 2013 pursuant to the Assignment Agreements, the Partnership received from Deutsche Bank an amount of $32,000 as part payment for the assignment of the three claims. On December 18, 2013 the Partnership and Deutsche Bank entered into a Settlement Notice and Refund Modification Agreement according to which the maximum amount to be refunded to Deutsche Bank would be $644 which was presented under “Accrued liabilities” in the Partnership's consolidated Balance Sheets.
Consequently, the Partnership had recorded the amount of $31,356 which represents the difference between the proceeds of $32,000 the Partnership received by Deutsche Bank and the maximum amount to be refunded to Deutsche Bank of $644, as “Gain on sale of claim” in its consolidated statement of comprehensive income / (loss). On February 19, 2014 the Partnership paid this amount to Deutsche Bank.

Various claims, suits and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Partnership's vessels. The Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The Partnership accrues for the cost of environmental liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Currently, the Partnership is not aware of any such claims or contingent liabilities, which should be disclosed, or for which a provision should be established in the consolidated financial statements.
An estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by a charge to expense and a liability recorded only if all of the following conditions are met:
(a) Vessels Purchase Commitments
Upon the approval of the Master Agreement at the Partnership's annual general meeting in August 2014 the Partnership has outstanding purchase commitments relating to the acquisition of new buildings of $281,276 that are payable as follows:
(b) Lease Commitments: The vessel-owning subsidiaries of the Partnership have entered into time and bareboat charter agreements, which as of December 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:
(1) Profit sharing refers to an arrangement between vessel-owning companies and charterers to share a predetermined percentage voyage profit in excess of the basic rate.
(2) On November 14, 2012, Overseas Shipholding Group Inc (“OSG”) made a voluntary filing for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. After discussions between the Partnership and OSG, it was agreed to enter into new charters contracts on substantially the same terms as the prior charters but at a bareboat rate of $6.3 per day. OSG has the option of extending the employment of each vessel following the completion of the bareboat charters for an additional two years on a time chartered basis at a rate of $16.5 per day. OSG has an option to purchase each of the three STX vessels at the end of the eighth, ninth or tenth year of the charter, for $38,000, $35,500 and $33,000, respectively, which option is exercisable six months before the date of completion of the eighth, ninth or tenth year of the charter. The expiration date above may therefore change depending on whether the charterer exercises its purchase option.
(3) 50/50 profit share for breaching IWL (Institute Warranty Limits - applies to voyages to certain ports at certain periods of the year).
(4) M/V Archimidis and the M/V Agamemnon are employed on time charters with Maersk at a gross rate of US$34.0 per day with earliest redelivery in October 2015 and July 2015, respectively. Maersk has the option to extend the charter of both vessels for an additional four years at a gross rate of $31.5 and $30.5 per day, respectively for the fourth and fifth year and $32.0 per day for the final two years. If all options were to be exercised, the employment of the vessels would extend to July 2019 for the M/V Agamemnon and October 2019 for the M/V Archimidis.
(5) The vessel owning companies of the M/T Amoureux and the M/T Aias have entered into a one year time charter with Capital Maritime at a gross rate of $24.0 per day for each vessel with profit share on actual earnings settled every six months.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)
|
12 Months Ended |
|---|---|

Dec. 31, 2014
|
|
| Significant Accounting Policies (Abstract) | |
| Consolidation Policy Text Block | (a) Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and include the accounts of the legal entities comprising the Partnership as discussed in Note 1. Intra-group balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Balances and transactions with CMTC and its affiliates have not been eliminated, but are presented as balances and transactions with related parties. |
| Use Of Estimates | (b) Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Other Comprehensive Income | (c) Other Comprehensive Income: The Partnership separately records certain transactions directly as components of partners' capital. For the year ended December 31, 2014 there was no other comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2013 other comprehensive income was comprised of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps that qualified as cash flow hedge and the amortization of the accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to interest rate swaps that did not qualify as cash flow hedge (Note 8). |
| Accounting for Revenue, Voyage and Operating Expenses | (d) Accounting for Revenue, Voyage and Operating Expenses: The Partnership generates its revenues from charterers for the charter hire of its vessels. Vessels are chartered on time charters, bareboat charters or voyage charters. A time charter is a contract for the use of a vessel for a specific period of time and a specified daily charter hire rate, which is generally payable monthly in advance. Some of the Partnership's time charters also include profit sharing provisions, under which the Partnership can realize additional revenues in the event that spot rates are higher than the base rates in these time charters. A bareboat charter is a contract in which the vessel owner provides the vessel to the charterer for a fixed period of time at a specified daily rate, which is generally payable monthly in advance, and the charterer generally assumes all risk and costs of operation during the bareboat charter period. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the later of the completion of discharge of the vessel's previous cargo or upon vessel arrival to the agreed upon port, based on the terms of a voyage contract that is not cancelable and voyage is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge of the delivered cargo. Revenues under voyage charter agreements are recognized when a voyage agreement exists, the price is fixed, service is provided and the collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured.
Revenues are recorded over the term of the charter as service is provided and recognized on a pro-rata basis over the duration of the voyage.
Time, bareboat and voyage charter revenues are recognized when a charter agreement exists, charter rate is fixed and determinable, the vessel is made available to the lessee, and collection of the related revenue is reasonably assured. Revenues are recognized ratably on a straight line basis over the period of the respective charter. Revenues from profit sharing arrangements in time charters represent a portion of time charter equivalent (voyage income less direct expenses, divided by operating days), that exceeds the agreed base rate and are recognized in the period earned. Deferred revenue represents cash received in advance of being earned. The portion of the deferred revenue that will be earned within the next twelve months is classified as current liability and the rest as long term liability.
Vessel voyage expenses are direct expenses to voyage revenues and primarily consist of commissions, port expenses, canal dues and bunkers. Commissions are expensed over the related charter period and all the other voyage expenses are expensed as incurred. In general under time and bareboat charter agreements, all voyages expenses, except commissions are assumed by the charterer. For voyage charters all voyage expenses are paid by the Partnership.
Vessel operating expenses presented in the consolidated financial statements mainly consisted of:
Vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred. |
| Foreign Currency Transactions | (e) Foreign Currency Transactions: The functional currency of the Partnership is the U.S. Dollar because the Partnership's vessels operate in international shipping markets that utilize the U.S. Dollar as the functional currency. The accounting records of the Partnership are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at those dates. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in interest and other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). |
| Cash And Cash Equivalents Policy | (f) Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Partnership considers highly-liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
| Restricted Cash | (g) Restricted cash: For the Partnership to comply with debt covenants under its credit facilities, it must maintain minimum cash deposits. Such deposits are considered by the Partnership to be restricted cash. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, restricted cash amounted to $15,000 for each year and is presented under other non-current assets. |
| Trade Accounts Receivable | (h) Trade Accounts Receivable, Net: The amount shown as trade accounts receivable primarily consists of earned revenue that has not been billed yet or that it has been billed but not yet collected. At each balance sheet date all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate write off. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the respective write off amounted to $70 and $84, respectively. |
| Inventories | (i) Inventories: Inventories consist of consumable bunkers, lubricants, spares and stores and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. |
| Fixed Assets | (j) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist of vessels which are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Vessel cost consists of the contract price for the vessel and any material expenses incurred upon their construction (improvements and delivery expenses, on-site supervision costs incurred during the construction periods, as well as capitalized interest expense during the construction period). Vessels acquired through acquisition of businesses are recorded at their acquisition date fair values. The cost of each of the Partnership's vessels is depreciated beginning when the vessel is ready for its intended use, on a straight-line basis over the vessels' remaining economic useful life, after considering the estimated residual value. Management estimates the scrap value of the Partnership's vessels to be $0.2 per light weight ton (LWT) and useful life to be 25 years. |
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | (k) Impairment of Long-lived Assets: An impairment loss on long-lived assets is recognized when indicators of impairment are present and the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is greater than its fair value and not believed to be recoverable. In determining future benefits derived from use of long-lived assets, the Partnership performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets on a vessel by vessel basis. If the carrying value of the related asset exceeds its undiscounted future net cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to its fair value. Various factors including future charter rates and vessel operating costs are included in this analysis.
In recent years market conditions as compared to previous years have changed significantly as a result of the global credit crisis and resulting slowdown in world trade. Charter rates decreased and values of assets were affected. The Partnership considered these market developments as indicators of potential impairment of the carrying amount of its vessels. The Partnership has performed an undiscounted cash flow test based on US GAAP as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, determining undiscounted projected net operating cash flows for the vessels and comparing them to the vessels' carrying values. In developing estimates of future cash flows, the Partnership made assumptions about future charter rates, utilization rates, vessel operating expenses, future dry docking costs and the estimated remaining useful life of the vessels. These assumptions are based on historical trends as well as future expectations that are in line with the Partnership's historical performance and expectations for the vessels' utilization under the current deployment strategy. Based on these assumptions, the Partnership determined that the undiscounted cash flows supported the vessels' carrying amounts as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. |
| Intangible Assets | (l) Intangible assets: The Partnership records all identified tangible and intangible assets or any liabilities associated with the acquisition of a business at fair value. When a business is acquired that owns a vessel with an existing charter agreement, the Partnership determines the present value of the difference between: (i) the contractual charter rate and (ii) the prevailing market rate for a charter of equivalent duration. When determining present value, the Partnership uses Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”). The resulting above-market (assets) and below-market (liabilities) charters are amortized using straight line method as a reduction and increase, respectively, to revenues over the remaining term of the charters. |
| Deferred charges, net | (m) Deferred charges, net: are comprised mainly of:
dry docking costs. The Partnership's vessels are required to be dry docked every thirty to sixty months for major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are under operation. For the vessels that were operated under the floating fee management agreement and Crude's management agreement (Note 4), the Partnership has adopted the deferral method of accounting for dry docking activities whereby costs incurred are deferred and amortized on a straight line basis over the period until the next scheduled dry docking activity |
| Pension and Retirement Benefit Obligations | (n) Pension and Retirement Benefit Obligations: The vessel-owning companies included in the consolidated financial statements employ the crew on board under short-term contracts (usually up to seven months) and accordingly, they are not liable for any pension or post retirement benefits. |
| Concentration of Credit Risk | (o) Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, interest rate swaps, and trade accounts receivable. The Partnership places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, and enters into interest rate swap agreements with creditworthy financial institutions rated by qualified rating agencies. A limited number of financial institutions hold the Partnership's cash. Most of the Partnership's revenues were derived from a few charterers. For the year ended December 31, 2014 CMTC, Hyundai Merchant Marine Co Ltd (“HMM”) and A.P. Moller-Maersk A.S. (“Maersk”) accounted for 38%, 24% and 12% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, CMTC, British Petroleum Shipping Limited (“BP”), Maersk and HMM accounted for 32%, 17%, 14% and 13% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2012, CMTC and BP accounted for 45% and 23% of the Partnership's total revenue, respectively. The Partnership does not obtain rights of collateral from its charterers to reduce its credit risk. |
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (p) Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The Partnership adopted the accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements for financial assets and liabilities and any other assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying value of trade receivables, due from related parties, due to related parties, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value. The fair values of long-term variable rate bank loans approximate the recorded values, due to their variable interest being the LIBOR and due to the fact the lenders have the ability to pass on their funding cost to the Partnership under certain circumstances, which reflects their current assessed risk. We believe the terms of our loans are similar to those that could be procured as of December 31, 2014. LIBOR rates are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full terms of the loans and hence bank loans are considered Level 2 items in accordance with the fair value hierarchy (Note 8). When the Partnership enters into interest swaps agreements the respective interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. |
| Interest Rate Swap Agreements | (q) Interest Rate Swap Agreements: The Partnership designates its derivatives based upon the intended use, and recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of each derivative instrument are recorded depending on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. For a derivative that does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are recognized within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the effective portion are recognized at the end of each reporting period in “other comprehensive income / (loss)”, until the hedged item is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). |
| Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit | (r) Net Income / (Loss) Per Limited Partner Unit: Basic net income / loss per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing Partnership's net income / loss less net income allocable to preferred unit holders, general partner's interest in net income (including incentive distribution rights) and net income allocable to unvested units, by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period (Note 14). Diluted net income per limited partner unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue limited partner units were exercised. |
| Income Taxes | (s) Income Taxes: The Partnership is not subject to the payment of any income tax on its income. Instead, a tax is levied based on the tonnage of the vessels, which is included in vessel operating expenses (Note 11). |
| Segment Reporting | (t) Segment Reporting: The Partnership reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues and not by the length, type of vessel or type of ship employment for its customers, i.e. time or bareboat charters. The Partnership does not use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for each such type of charter or vessel. Although revenue can be identified for these types of charters or vessels, management cannot and does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information for these various types of charters or vessels. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet, and thus the Partnership has determined that it operates as one reportable segment. Furthermore, when the Partnership charters a vessel to a charterer, the charterer is free to trade the vessel worldwide and, as a result, the disclosure of geographic information is impracticable. |
| Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan | (u) Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan: Equity compensation expense represents vested and unvested units granted to employees and to non-employee directors, for their services as directors, as well as to non-employees and are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income / (loss). These units are measured at their fair value equal to the market value of the Partnership's common units on the grant date. The units that contain a time-based service vesting condition are considered unvested units on the grant date and a total fair value of such units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In addition, unvested awards granted to non-employees are measured at their then-current fair value as of the financial reporting dates (Note 13). |
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | (v) Recent Accounting Pronouncements: On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This standard is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact, if any, of the adoption of this new standard. |

| Immaterial reclassification to correct prior period presentation | Immaterial reclassification to correct prior period presentation: As noted in Note 12, during the year ended December 31, 2013, various holders of the class B units converted 5,733,333 class B units into common units valued at $50,318. Furthermore on August 23, 2013 the Partnership converted 349,700 common units into general partner units valued at $3,060. In the current period, a prior period error was identified, as the Partnership did not reflect the value of these conversions in its consolidated statements of changes in partners' capital for the year ended December 31, 2013 and its consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2013. Total partners' capital remained unchanged as the reclassification impacted only the Partnership's Limited Partners - Common, the Partnership's Limited Partners - Preferred and General Partner, and no other financial statement line items were impacted by these reclassifications. This includes net income per common unit (basic and diluted), as the converted class B units were appropriately included in the net income per unit calculation. The Partnership has quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated the materiality of the omission and has determined that it was immaterial to the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the reclassifications were recorded retrospectively by revising the 2013 comparatives in the Partnership's consolidated balance sheet and its consolidated statements of changes in partners' capital as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which resulted in an increase of $47,258 and $3,060 to the Partnership's Limited Partners - Common and General Partner respectively and a decrease of $50,318 to the company's Limited Partners - Preferred. |

| General Partner Interest and Incentive Distribution Rights | General Partner Interest and Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”): The General Partner has a 2% interest in the Partnership as well as the incentive distribution rights. In accordance with Section 5.2(b) of the partnership agreement, upon the issuance of additional units by the Partnership, the general partner may elect to make a contribution to the Partnership to maintain its 2% interest.
Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from operating surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. The Partnership's general partner as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 holds the incentive distribution rights.
According to the partnership agreement the following table illustrates the percentage allocations of the additional available cash from operating surplus among the unitholders and general partner up to the various target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions” are the percentage interests of the unitholders and general partner in any available cash from operating surplus that is being distributed up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount,” until available cash from operating surplus the Partnership distributes reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the unitholders and general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution.
On August 21 2014, the Fourth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership was approved, by the Partnership's annual general meeting, so as to revise the target distributions to holders of IDRs.
The Fourth Amendment resets the thresholds for the IDRs as follows:
Following the annual general meeting, CMTC unilaterally notified the Partnership that it has decided to waive its rights to receive quarterly incentive distributions between $0.2425 and $0.25. This waiver effectively increases the First Threshold and the lower bound of the Second Threshold (as referenced in the table above) from $0.2425 to $0.25. |
