Hey Banbury, I was indeed! Don’t miss those days haha!
The main debt you talk of is not debt in a traditional sense, it’s asset backed by the ships thus significantly earnings enhancing. So in essence they will be generating far more from the earnings of those assets as they sweat them over time than the low cost of the ship loans. (And they are extremely low cost - about 3% from memory)
The actual business debt was largely paid off when they did the refinancing:)
That’s the big misconception of the debt position here... it’s nowhere near as bad as people think it is :)
Bond payment not an issue imo but get why people may be tetchy. Same with the competitions review.
All in all though risk/reward seems super duper here I reckon.
All the best
