Hello David, There is some precedent for the equipment loss turning into a gain. Transocean Offshore lost a jackup under tow in Bahrain a couple of years ago. It was insured for about twice its book value, but less than its replacement value. They recorded a non-recurring income item.

Funny accounting.

Regards,
