Property and Equipment	Note 5. Property and Equipment In March 2013, our conditional agreement with STX France S.A. to build the third Oasis-class ship for Royal Caribbean International became effective. The ship will have a capacity of approximately 5,400 berths and is expected to enter service in the second quarter of 2016. Pullmantur’s Atlantic Star, which has been out of operation since 2009, was transferred to an affiliate of STX France S.A. as part of the consideration. The Atlantic Star was transferred at carrying value, which approximated its fair value on the date of its transfer. The transfer did not result in a gain or a loss.
