Oslo, 8 March 2024: Gram Car Carriers ASA ("GCC"), the world's third-largest car carrier tonnage provider, has refinanced the Viking Adventure (6,700 CEU, 2015) with a leading Japanese bank at competitive terms.
The new USD 41 million loan has a duration matching the vessels current charter ending in mid-2028 and a margin of SOFR +1.73%. This compares a margin of SOFR +4.26% under the previous lease financing which was repaid earlier this year.
"We are pleased to welcome one of the premier banks in Japan in our banking group as we optimise our capital structure and cost base to maximise profit and shareholder returns. Lower cost of debt, combined with a near record revenue backlog built in a historically strong car shipping market, support long-term cash flow visibility and continued attractive dividend distributions," said Georg A. Whist, the CEO of GCC.
