Export-Import Banks in Action
Export finance continues to be a major source of financing for the shipowners and the momentum appears to be gaining pace. According to local reports, the Export-Import Bank of Thailand (“EXIM Thailand”) has announced plans to lend at least THB 18 billion (USD 563 million) to local shipping companies in their acquisition of new tonnage. The government hopes that the latest measures will help to expand the Thai fleet and reduce reliance on foreign carriers, and in turn generate more foreign exchange earnings for the country.
EXIM Thailand has the ability to offer direct loans or arrange syndication deals with its financial partners for the domestic shipping companies and is looking at extending loans of up to THB 18 million over the next three years. In January 2010, Precious Shipping secured a credit facility granted by EXIM Thailand and other lenders including Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, Bank of Ayudhya, Kasikornbank and Thanachart Bank for the acquisition of bulk carriers.
