SBM Offshore (SBMO.AS) secured a $465 million project financing from a consortium of banks and investors for the construction of its floating storage and offloading vessel Chalchi.
The loans, with a maximum term of 14 years, included partial insurance coverage from China Export & Credit Insurance Corp., the Dutch offshore floating production company said Monday.
The vessel will be leased to Woodside Energy's affiliate, Woodside Petróleo Operaciones de México, on a 20-year lease upon completion. It will be used for Woodside's 60%-owned Trion project in Mexico.
