In a statement on Friday (18), Yinson said the bridge loan should be utilized starting in October 2020 to support the construction of Petrobras’ FPSO Anna Nery, and Sumitomo continued to work on closing the long-term project financing package.
The group’s strategy director at Yinson, Daniel Bong, said the deal was oversubscribed by the participating banks, which is a strong testament to their support for Yinson, despite the challenging situation of Covid-19 and the drop in oil prices.
