New York-based CIT Group closed its second refinancing deal in less than week with a loan to Greek bulker owner Globus Maritime.

The $34.25m deal sees CIT as sole lead arranger for loans backing Globus' fleet of four supramax and two panamax vessels, which are fixed on short-term or medium-term charters.

The loan from the revitalised US lender came after its announcement of a $22m refinancing for containerships in the fleet of Monaco-based Madison Marine Corp on Monday.
