New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS	In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lessees are required to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all outstanding leases excluding short-term leases. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments. The ROU asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments (e.g., initial direct costs, payments made by the lessee prior to lease commencement and any lessor incentives). For income statement purposes, lessees are required to classify leases as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Topic 842 was subsequently amended to provide practical expedient for transition and targeted improvements to the new lease standard. The FASB issued in March 2019, ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” to clarify certain transition disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new lease standard as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition method and applying the new standard to all leases through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. In our first annual period after adoption, the year ending December 31, 2019, the comparative periods will not be restated and will be presented under legacy lease accounting guidance in effect for those periods, Topic 840. The new standard provides a number of practical expedients specific to transition. We have elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits us not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing arrangements are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting, including a practical expedient which allows lessees and lessors to elect to not separate lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient available for lessees to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes other than vessels, which typically include significant non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient available for lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components for vessels. The Company also elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for short-term leases, which have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease cost of short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and disclosed within our financial statements. We believe short-term lease commitments are not materially different than the short-term lease cost for the period. Adoption of the new lease accounting guidance had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets but did not have a material impact on our consolidated income statements. We recognized on January 1, 2019, (1) a lease liability of approximately $1,189.6 million which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s applicable weighted average incremental borrowing rates, and (2) an ROU asset of approximately $1,115.5 million which represents the lease liability of $1,189.6 million adjusted for accrued and prepaid rent, lease incentives, and other balances. The impact was recorded as an adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $1.8 million.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Recently Adopted Accounting Standards under U.S. GAAP Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted (1) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. “2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).”, (2) ASU 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842.” (3) ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Lease.”, (4) ASU 2018-20, “Narrow-scope Improvements for Lessors.”, (5) ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements.”, (6) ASU No. 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842) —Codification Improvements.”. These updates require lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report for more information. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” This update improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this update better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. For cash flow and net investment hedges as of the adoption date, the guidance requires a modified retrospective approach. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required to be adopted prospectively. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI).” This update provides an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within AOCI to retained earnings in each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (or portion thereof) is recorded. The ASU requires financial statement disclosures that indicate a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from AOCI; whether there is an election to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and information about the other income tax effects are reclassified. These amendments affect any organization that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The adoption of this update did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this update specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments in this update also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC Topic 606. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Standards under U.S. GAAP In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This update introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The updated guidance applies to (1) loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables and other financial assets measured at amortized cost, (2) loan commitments and other off-balance sheet credit exposures, (iii) debt securities and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and (iv) beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. In May 2019, the FASB issued a new update ASU No.2019-05, that eases transition to the credit losses standard by providing the option to measure certain types of assets at fair value, allowing an option for preparers to irrevocably elect the fair value option for eligible financial assets measured at amortized cost basis on an instrument-by-instrument basis. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, the amendments in this Update clarify or address stakeholders’ specific issues about certain aspects of this amendments and clarifies guidance around how to report expected recoveries. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us on January 1, 2020 and are required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this ASU. In November 2018, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The update amends the transition requirements and scope of the credit losses standard issued in 2016. This update clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in accordance with the leases standard. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us on January 1, 2020 and are required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this ASU. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This update modifies the disclosure requirement on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this update concerns presentation and disclosure only as it relates to our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans.” This update amends ASC 715 to add, remove and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other post-retirement plans. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are required to be adopted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” This update requires that the implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract are deferred if they would be capitalized based on the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are required to be adopted either retrospectively or prospectively. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this ASU. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808) -Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606.” This update clarifies the interaction between the guidance for certain collaborative arrangements and the Revenue Recognition financial accounting and reporting standard. The amendments in this ASU are effective for us January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update are required to be adopted retrospectively to the date of initial application of Topic 606. An entity should recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of the later of the earliest annual period presented and the annual period that includes the date of the entity’s initial application of Topic 606. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this ASU. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.” The update clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards including (1) ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.”, (2) ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”, and (3) ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this update to ASU No. 2016-01 and No. 2016-13 are required to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. The amendments in this update to ASU No. 2017-12 are required to be adopted either retrospectively or prospectively. This new update will be effective on January 1, 2020. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this ASU. In November 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, to apply changes in philosophy to the effective dates for the following major updates (including amendments issued after the issuance of the original Update): ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Credit Losses)”, ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Hedging)”, ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842) (Leases)”. We do not anticipate a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the adoption of this ASU. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes to Topic 740 - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The amendments simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. This update also improve and simplify areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. This update is effective for us January 1, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, "Investments —Equity Securities (Topic 321)", “Investments —Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)”, and “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) —Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815”, and made targeted improvements to address certain aspects of accounting for financial instruments. This update clarifies that a company should consider observable transactions that require a company to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures, for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The new ASU also clarifies that, when determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options a company should not consider, whether upon settlement or exercise, if the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or fair value option. This amendments is effective for us January 1, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Lessees are required to recognize a ROU asset and a lease liability for all outstanding leases excluding short-term leases. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments. The ROU asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments (e.g., initial direct costs, payments made by the lessee prior to lease commencement and any lessor incentives). For income statement purposes, lessees are required to classify leases as either operating or finance leases. Operating leases result in straight-line expense while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard.

Topic 842 was subsequently amended to provide practical expedient for transition and targeted improvements to the new lease standard. The FASB issued in March 2019, ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” to clarify certain transition disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the new lease standard as of January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition method and applying the new standard to all leases through a cumulative-effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings in the period of adoption. In our first annual period after adoption, the year ending December 31, 2019, the comparative periods will not be restated and will be presented under legacy lease accounting guidance in effect for those periods, Topic 840.

The new standard provides a number of practical expedients specific to transition. We have elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits us not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing arrangements are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting, including a practical expedient which allows lessees and lessors to elect to not separate lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient available for lessees to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes other than vessels, which typically include significant non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedient available for lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components for vessels. The Company also elected not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for short-term leases, which have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease cost of short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and disclosed within our financial statements. We believe short-term lease commitments are not materially different than the short-term lease cost for the period.

Adoption of the new lease accounting guidance had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets but did not have a material impact on our consolidated income statements. We recognized on January 1, 2019, (1) a lease liability of approximately $1,189.6 million which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the Company’s applicable weighted average incremental borrowing rates, and (2) an ROU asset of approximately $1,115.5 million which represents the lease liability of $1,189.6 million adjusted for accrued and prepaid rent, lease incentives, and other balances. The impact was recorded as an adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $1.8 million.
