Oslo/Singapore, Epic Gas Ltd. (ticker “EPIC-ME“, “Epic Gas“ or the “Company“), the leading LPG shipping solutions company, today announced that it has completed the refinancing of a further twenty ships in its fleet.

The US$201m facility has a five-year term with an extended repayment profile and a reduced interest margin, resulting in savings of US$2.8m per annum of the Company’s debt service.

The facility includes a US$10m tranche that is available for future acquisitions.

Completion of this refinancing leaves Epic Gas with four unencumbered vessels and means that it has no further refinancing needs until after 2023.
