Proceeds from the new five-year bonds will be used to refinance $70.6m of existing 7.0% senior unsecured notes due to mature on June 30, 2025, as well as for general corporate purposes, the company said.
On December 12, Scorpio Tankers announced a new $500m revolving credit facility expected to close by the end of the first quarter 2025. At the end of 2024, Scorpio Tankers estimated its outstanding debt at $878m. At the end of Q3 2024, bank facilities accounted for 83% of the company’s debt, with the remainder split between lease financing and the outstanding bonds.
Scorpio Tankers is the world's largest product tanker owner, with a current owned and leased fleet of 99 ships (39 LR2s, 46 MRs and 14 Handymaxes) with an average age of 8.8 years.
Scorpio Tankers currently has no ships on order, but in an investor presentation on January 7 noted a global orderbook of just over 20% of the world product tanker fleet against the fleet’s average age of 14 years. The orderbook is currently 50% LR2, 36% MRs and 12% LR1, with the remainder handymaxes.
