EMAS Offshore issues new notes
Singapore: Oslo and Singapore listed EMAS Offshore has announced that it will be looking to raise $500m in funds, establishing a multi currency debt issuance programme.
The offshore vessel operator, which was formed in July 2014 when EMAS Marine consolidated with EOC, has appointed DBS Bank as the sole arranger and dealer of the programme.
The company was not specific as to what the proceeds would be used for, with the company statement saying proceeds will be used for refinancing existing loans and/or capital expenditure purposes and/or financing general working capital and/or general corporate purposes.
The issue is likely a standard procedure with previously issued bond notes due for payment.
