Operating Segment [Abstract]

Operating Segment

(4) Operating Segment

An operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and about which separate financial information is available. CCC and the Leasing Agent operate the Partnership’s container fleet as a homogenous unit and have determined that as such, it has a single reportable operating segment.

A summary of gross lease revenue earned by each Partnership container type for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,		June 30,		June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Dry cargo containers	$	240,589	$	245,725	$	481,056	$	484,415
Refrigerated containers		16,463		22,936		32,604		52,839
Tank containers		29,534		35,213		59,618		74,298
Total	$	286,586	$	303,874	$	573,278	$	611,552

Due to the Partnership’s lack of information regarding the physical location of its fleet of containers when on lease in the global shipping trade, the Partnership believes that it does not possess discernible geographic reporting segments.
