The interest portion of rental expense represents one-third of rents, which is deemed representative of the interest portion of rental expense.
(b)
For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, we had no preferred units outstanding.
(c)
For the year ended December 31, 2013, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $128.1 million. The deficiency included a goodwill impairment loss of $304.5 million related to the Statia terminals reporting unit.
(d)
For the year ended December 31, 2012, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $132.5 million. The deficiency included the effect of $271.8 million of impairment losses mainly resulting from the write-down of the carrying value of our long-lived assets related to our asphalt operations, including fixed assets, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-term assets.
