Perfect. Okay. And then you made some comments there saying about eight times net debt to CFVO, but on an adjusted kind of go-forward basis that’s close to 6.5 times net debt currently, long-term target of 5.5 times. So is that kind of when you expect distribution increases to commence once you kind of get to that long-term run rate of 5.5 times maybe sooner, maybe later,
just trying to get a little timeframe or a benchmark per se for when that distribution increases could possibly come?

Yes, I think, in terms of any distribution guidance as we’ve guided in previous quarters,
we expect to provide more details on that in the second-half of this year. And I think more specifically,
we can say now that that’s likely to be in Q4 of this year.
In terms of our target leverage in achieving that, that target leverage, as Mark mentioned in his prepared remarks, we are warehousing a lot of advances on newbuildings for the order book, which is temporarily increasing our leverage. And as those vessels begin to deliver in cash flow, we expect our leverage to naturally decrease.
So we think a
natural delevering process is going to occur over the next two years. And
we think, ultimately, we can achieve our target of around 5.5 times kind of by the end of the period, where these newbuildings deliver.
But we don’t necessarily need to wait for that to address the distribution policy. We can – we expect to be able to do both at the same time
