</g:IdentificationOfAuditedFinancialStatements><g:TypeOfBasisForModifiedOpinionOnAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c65">Basis for Adverse Opinion</g:TypeOfBasisForModifiedOpinionOnAuditedFinancialStatements><g:DescriptionOfQualificationsOfAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c65">Going concern The Company has a significant negative equity. Negotiations with the Company’s investors are being conducted about contribution of capital, making financing available for the continued operations of the Company or, alternatively, its winding-up. It is uncertain whether the investors will contribute additional capital besides what they are already obliged to contribute under the partnership agreement. The Financial Statements are presented on the assumption of going concern, which we do not find appropriate on the above basis.

Impairment of vessel not recognized in 2016 In the Financial Statements for 2016, we modified our opinion because Management had not recognized an impairment, although an impairment test showed that the Company’s vessel should be impaired. In the Financial Statements for 2017, Management has recognized an impairment on the basis of an updated impairment test. Consequently, the comparative figures for 2016 and the figures for 2017 are affected by the impairment not recognized in 2016. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the ”Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our adverse opinion.
</g:DescriptionOfQualificationsOfAuditedFinancialStatements><g:StatementOnManagementsReviewAuditorsReportOnAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c65">Management is responsible for Management’s Review.

Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether Management’s Review provides the information required under the Danish Financials Statements Act.

As the Basis for Adverse Opinion section shows, we express a modified opinion on the financial statements due to matters described above. We conclude, for the same reason, that Management’s Review is not free from material misstatement in relation to the amounts and other elements affected by matters described above.
</g:StatementOnManagementsReviewAuditorsReportOnAuditedFinancialStatements><g:StatementOfExecutiveAndSupervisoryBoardsResponsibilityForFinancialStatements contextRef="c65">Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
</g:StatementOfExecutiveAndSupervisoryBoardsResponsibilityForFinancialStatements><g:StatementOfAuditorsResponsibilityForAuditAndAuditPerformed contextRef="c65">Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

No events materially affecting the assessment of the Annual Report have occurred after the balance sheet date.</h:ManagementsReview><e:DisclosureOfUncertaintiesRelatingToGoingConcern contextRef="c65">The Company is financed by bottomry and group loans. In order for the Company to continue as a going concern, it must be possible to extend the existing loan agreements and to procure liquidity for continued operations. At this time, no agreements securing continued operations have been made. Consequently, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and thus its ability to meet its commitments as they fall due,is subject to uncertainty. Management expects financing to be procured to continue the planned activities.</e:DisclosureOfUncertaintiesRelatingToGoingConcern><e:DisclosureOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment contextRef="c65">  
Management assesses annually, the carrying value of the vessels in order to determine whether there are any indications of impairment in excess of the amount provided for by normal depreciations.

If there is an indication that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed the expected future cash flows from the asset, an impairment test is conducted. If there is such an indication, the asset is written down to the lower recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the asset is determined as the higher of the net selling price and the value-in-use. If a recoverable amount for the individual assets cannot be determined, the smallest group of assets for which it is possible to determine the recoverable amount (cash-generating unit/CGU) is analyzed for impairment. If the entity owns more than one vessel, the CGU is determined on a portfolio basis. The vessels operate within the same segment (multi-purpose/MPP). When determining the CGU, Management has considered the degree of interdependency between the vessels. If only one vessel in the entity, the vessel is one CGU.</e:DisclosureOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment><e:DisclosureOfContingentLiabilities contextRef="c65">As security for leasing debt vessel with a carrying amount USD 12,676,302 at 31 December 2017 has been mortgaged.

The accounting policies applied remain unchanged from last year.
Financial Statements for 2017 are presented in USD with exchange rate 620,77 at 31 December 2017 (31 December 2016 705,28)</e:InformationOnReportingClassOfEntity><e:DescriptionOfGeneralMattersRelatedToRecognitionMeasurementAndChangesInAccountingPolicies contextRef="c65">Revenues are recognised in the income statement as earned. Furthermore, value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value or amortised cost are recognised. Moreover, all expenses incurred to achieve the earnings for the year are recognised in the income statement, including depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses.
Assets are recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company, and the value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow out of the Company, and the value of the liability can be measured reliably.
Assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for each item below.
Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost, which involves the recognition of a constant effective interest rate over the maturity period. Amortised cost is calculated as original cost less any repayments and with addition/deduction of the cumulative amortisation of any difference between cost and the nominal amount. In this way, capital losses and gains are allocated over the maturity period.
Recognition and measurement take into account predictable losses and risks occurring before the presentation of the Annual Report which confirm or invalidate affairs and conditions existing at the balance sheet date.</e:DescriptionOfGeneralMattersRelatedToRecognitionMeasurementAndChangesInAccountingPolicies><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfLeases contextRef="c65">Leases in terms of which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (finance leases) are recognised in the balance sheet at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the net present value of the lease payments computed by applying the interest rate implicit in the lease or an alternative borrowing rate as the discount rate. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated and written down for impairment under the same policy as determined for the other fixed assets of the Company.
The remaining lease obligation is capitalised and recognised in the balance sheet under debt, and the interest element on the lease payments is charged over the lease term to the income statement.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfLeases><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfForeignCurrencies contextRef="c65">Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of transaction. Exchange differences arising due to differences between the transaction date rates and the rates at the dates of payment are recognised in financial income and expenses in the income statement. Where foreign exchange transactions are considered hedging of future cash flows, the value adjustments are recognised directly in equity.
Receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Any differences between the exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the rates at the time when the receivable or the debt arose are recognised in financial income and expenses in the income statement.
Fixed assets acquired in foreign currencies are measured at the transaction date rates.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfForeignCurrencies><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfRevenue contextRef="c65">Revenue from sales (chartering income) is recognised in the income statement when the charter is finalised based on the following criteria:

- finalization of the charter before year end

- the charter income has been determined and payment has been received or may with reasonable certainty be expected to be received.

Revenue is recognised exclusive of VAT.

Chartering in progress is recognised at the rate of completion of the charter, which means that revenue equals the charter income from the travelling activity for the year. This method is applied when total revenues and expenses in respect of the charter at the balance sheet date can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the economic benefits, including payments, will flow to the Company.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfRevenue><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfCostOfSales contextRef="c65">Vessel operating costs comprise the raw materials and consumables consumed to achieve revenue for the year.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfCostOfSales><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfExternalExpenses contextRef="c65">Other external expenses comprise indirect production costs and expenses for premises, sales and distribution as well as office expenses, etc.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfExternalExpenses><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfGrossProfitLoss contextRef="c65">With reference to section 32 of the Danish Financial Statements Act, revenue has not been disclosed in the Annual Report.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfGrossProfitLoss><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfImpairmentLossesAndDepreciation contextRef="c65">Amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses comprise amortisation, depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfImpairmentLossesAndDepreciation><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfFinanceIncomeAndExpenses contextRef="c65">Financial income and expenses are recognised in the income statement at the amounts relating to the financial year.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfFinanceIncomeAndExpenses><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxExpenses contextRef="c65">The Company is not an independent tax subject, consequently no tax has been included in the annual report.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxExpenses><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment contextRef="c65">Vessels held under finance leases are recognised in the balance sheet in the same way as owned assets and are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Cost comprises the cost of acquisition and expenses directly related to the acquisition up until the time when the asset is ready for use.
Depreciation based on cost reduced by any residual value is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets, which are:
Ships 25 years
Docking 2,5 years

Depreciation period and residual value are reassessed annually.</e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment><e:DescriptionOfMethodsOfAmortisationOfNoncurrentAssets contextRef="c65">The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis to determine whether there is any indication of impairment other than that expressed by amortisation and depreciation.
