Navig8 Chemical Tankers has secured financing for two Japan-built chemical tanker newbuildings from Credit Agricole.
The shipowner said the bank is providing $24.86m of debt financing in respect of instalments already paid to Kitanihon Shipbuilding for two 25,000-dwt ships.
Navig8 Chemical has also signed a sale-and-leaseback agreement for the tanker pair with Japan’s SBI Holdings.
It will sell the vessels to SBI and enter into 11-year bareboat charters.
