Seanergy Maritime has received a commitment letter from one of its existing lenders to refinance a loan facility that had been due to mature on Tuesday.

The existing loan is secured by two of Seanergy’s capesize bulkers — the 170,100-dwt Geniuship (built 2010) and 171,300-dwt Gloriuship (built 2004). The ships will also secure the new facility.

The Nasdaq-listed bulker owner did not name the lender, but chairman and chief executive Stamatis Tsantanis told TradeWinds that it would be "announced in due course".
