Sale of a Container Vessel and Trading Update

 

 

Goldenport Holdings Inc. ("Goldenport" or "the Company"), (LSE: GPRT) the international shipping company that owns and operates a fleet of dry bulk and container vessels, announces today the sale of a container vessel and the update on the trading of its fleet as of 17 July 2015.

 

 

Sale of a Container Vessel

 

The Company has agreed the sale of the 1997 built container vessel 'Thira' to an unaffiliated third party, "BSL Thira Shipping Limited", for a cash consideration of US$6.85 million. The vessel's delivery is due to take place on 21 July 2015.

The net sale proceeds will be applied towards the repayment of debt secured against the vessel and increasing the level of corporate liquidity.

Estimated net debt position

 

The estimated gross debt position of the Company as of 30 June 2015 amounted to US$157.5 million, reflecting inter alia the consolidation of US$25.1 million of debt associated with M/V Alpine Trader and M/V Ermis following the assumption of 100% ownership of the two vessels on 22 May 2015 and the US$9.4 million voluntary prepayment to RBS on 5 June 2015 as disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

 

The estimated net debt position of the Company as of 30 June 2015 amounted to US$148.5 million, taking into account US$9.0 million of cash and cash equivalents (including US$0.6 million of restricted cash).

 

The estimated gross and net debt position have been derived using the same accounting policies and procedures as in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.
