Stephenson Harwood has advised BNP Paribas on a US$60 million sustainability-linked, secured revolving credit facility (RCF) to Cetus Maritime group, a handysize dry bulk owner and operator.
The firm acted for BNP Paribas in its capacity as Agent, Security Agent and sustainability coordinator.
This RCF features a sustainability-linked margin adjustment, with a key performance indicator linked to the reduction of carbon intensity. The facility also provides the borrower with operational flexibility, including the ability to substitute vessels provided as security and to accommodate future changes to group entities.

Further Hong Kong law advice was provided by Hong Kong-based Partner Elton Chan, who was supported by Associate Tinnie Chan.
