Navigator Holdings has entered into a $160.8m loan facility with Nordea Bank, BNP Paribas, DVB Bank America, ING Bank and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB) to refinance an existing loan facility that is due to mature in February 2018.

The facility agreement consists of a term loan facility in the sum of $100m and a revolving credit facility for $60.8m for the borrower Navigator Gas, with obligations under the agreement guaranteed by Navigator Holdings.
