Gunvor closes new EUR 400 million facility backed by Italy’s SACE

The Facility received strong support from Gunvor’s banking partners and attracted new banks, increasing the total amount of the facility from the previous year.

The RCF will be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of the existing US $1,395,000,000 364-day tranche of the 2022 European Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement, dated 10 November 2022, and the US $290,000,000 3-year tranche of the 2021 European Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement dated 10 November 2021.

The Facility consists of two tranches, available to Gunvor International B.V. and Gunvor SA:

Tranche A: US $1.535 billion 364-day Revolving Credit Facility with three 364-day extension options
Tranche B: US $350 million 3-year Revolving Credit Facility with one 364-day extension option

The Facility has a US $400 million Accordion Option and complements the existing US $280 million 3-year tranche of the 2022 European Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement.

Similar to last year’s Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement, the Facility includes four KPIs supporting the Group’s strong commitment to improve the environmental impact of its trading operations and to invest in sustainable commodities and businesses. The KPIs relate to the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions; reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions associated with the improvement of energy efficiency of the shipping fleet; the investment in non-fossil fuel projects; and the assessment of the Group’s assets, JVs, and suppliers against Human Rights principles. Each KPI is annually tested and externally verified in line with LMA SLL principles.

"Gunvor is delighted with the continuous support we have received from our financing partners. The growing capacity of the facility along with the new lenders demonstrate the strong relationship the company has with its core banking group,” said Jeff Webster, Chief Financial Officer of Gunvor Group.

Gunvor is a key player in the fuel oil market in Singapore, a core industry in the South East Asian trading hub, and draws on the region’s sophisticated storage and shipping infrastructure for its blending and logistics activities. “The strong support Gunvor received from both its core banks and new ones underscores the important role the Company plays in the regional maritime and shipping industry,” said Melissa Widjaja, Head of Structured Trade Finance Asia-Pacific at Gunvor. “Gunvor will continue to grow and serve the growing logistics needs of the Asia-Pacific region.” “We are proud to be entrusted by Gunvor Singapore to lead this financing activity.

"This deployment is particularly important in Asia, where this type of financing is less common than in other regions," said Nicolas Djelalian, Managing Director, Komgo Asia. “We believe the transformation of how banks and corporates use data to communicate will bring tremendous value to the entire ecosystem, and we're excited to be at the forefront of this innovation.”

Gunvor Group, a leading independent trader of liquefied natural gas (LNG) worldwide, has renewed its syndicated borrowing base facility (the “Facility”) to support the working capital needs of the company’s growing LNG activities globally. The syndication launched at US $1.2 billion and was oversubscribed, with strong appetite from new lenders, including more than 20 banks from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Six new banks joined. The Facility has been correspondingly increased from US $1.135 billion to US $1.565 billion. The Facility, which was inaugurated last year, has been structured around Gunvor’s global LNG trade flows, including shipping activities, and will finance physical and derivative positions. As a part of the Facility, Gunvor has committed to CO2 carbon emissions reporting to establish transparency for the carbon footprint of the company’s LNG value chain. “The very strong interest this financing has received from such a diversified pool of lenders reflects the global nature of Gunvor’s LNG activity,” said Tawfik Sadfi, Head of Structured Trade Finance at Gunvor Group. “LNG has secured a place as strategic commodity for both the Energy Transition and energy security.” “The successful refinancing and increase of this Facility underscores the extent to which a growing number of banks recognize LNG as part of the mainstream commodities market,” said Gertjan Lagerwerf, Director Rabobank Trade & Commodity Finance - Energy. “LNG has an important role in assuring energy security for many countries amid the current challenging geopolitical circumstances.” Ludivine Labarre, Global Head of Trade Commodity Finance at Societe Generale, added: “This landmark LNG borrowing base Facility embodies the long-term strategic move of Gunvor to support LNG transitional commodities contributing to both low-carbon future and energy security. Gunvor’s clearly defined trading strategy and business model, hand-in-hand with its sustainability commitments, continue to attract market confidence while paving the way for new ESG commitments linked to LNG activity.” Gunvor continues to uphold its commitments to define and communicate all greenhouse gas emissions related to its LNG trades. The latest information is published in the company’s annual Sustainability & Ethics Report. Gunvor has previously announced commitments in the areas of environment, social, and governance (ESG) targeting a 40% reduction in the company’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025. For existing and new trading, dedicated programs are being established to manage emissions and environmental impact, while taking into account human rights considerations, in line with Gunvor’s commitment to the UNGPs on Business & Human Rights. Tracking and reporting of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions related to the trading of LNG adds further to those commitments.
