| ASSETS HELD FOR SALE | ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Our South Texas Assets:
On February 23, 2017, our Board of Directors approved management's recommendation to place our South Texas facilities located in Aransas Pass and Ingleside, Texas, up for sale. Our Texas South Yard in Ingleside, Texas, is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of the U.S. Intracoastal Waterway and the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. The 45-foot deep Corpus Christi Ship Channel provides direct and unrestricted access to the Gulf of Mexico. Our Texas North Yard in Aransas Pass, Texas, is located along the U.S. Intracoastal Waterway and is approximately three miles north of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. These properties are currently underutilized and represent excess capacity within our Fabrication division. Our net book value of property, plant and equipment for these assets was $104.8 million at June 30, 2017. We measure and record assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. We have compared the net book value of this asset group to the fair value less cost to sell based upon appraisals obtained which did not result in impairment.
We continue to wind down all fabrication activities at these locations and have re-allocated remaining backlog and workforce to our Houma Fabrication Yard. As a result of the decision to place our South Texas facilities up for sale and the underutilization currently being experienced, we expect to incur costs associated with maintaining the facility that will not be recoverable until such time as we are able to consummate one or more sales of these assets. These costs include insurance, general maintenance of the properties in its current state, property taxes and retained employees which will be expensed as incurred. We do not expect the sale of these assets to impact our ability to service our deepwater customers or operate our Fabrication division. Our South Texas assets held for sale do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.
Prospect Shipyard Assets:
We lease a 35-acre complex 26 miles from the Gulf of Mexico in Houma, Louisiana. We have entered into an agreement to terminate the lease no later than December 31, 2017, with the owner of the property (currently a senior vice president within the Company) to facilitate an orderly disposal of assets at the facility. Our remaining lease payments are not material. We have classified the machinery and equipment remaining at this shipyard as assets held for sale at February 6, 2017. Our net book value of property, plant and equipment for these assets was $2.5 million at June 30, 2017. We measure and record assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. We recorded an impairment of $389,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, we sold two drydocks from our Prospect Shipyard for proceeds of $2.0 million and recorded a loss on sale of $259,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017. We do not expect the sale of these assets to impact our ability to service our Shipyards customers. The future anticipated costs expected to be incurred prior to the termination of this lease are not significant to our consolidated financial statements. Our Prospect Shipyard assets held for sale do not qualify for discontinued operations presentation.
A summary of the significant assets included in assets held for sale as of June 30, 2017, at our South Texas facilities and our Prospect Shipyard is as follows (in thousands):
