Universal Terminal targets February 2015 IPO after delay

Universal Terminal targets February 2015 IPO after delay
Singapore’s Universal Terminal is now targeting to launch an initial public offering (IPO) in February next year, following a delay from its originally planned date in early December.

The IPO, potentially valued at SGD1bn ($757m), has been delayed due to uncertain market conditions, reports quoted sources as saying.

DBS, HSBC and Standard Chartered are the joint global coordinators for the IPO planned on Singapore Exchange.

Universal Terminal, co-owned by Singapore’s oil traders Hin Leong and China’s PetroChina, operates one of the largest independent oil storage terminals in Asia on Singapore’s Jurong Island.

The terminal offers 2.33m cu m of storage capacity, 78 storage tanks and 15 jetties, of which two can berth fully-laden VLCCs.
