Yinson Production eyes expansion after US$1.46bil refinancing
KUALA LUMPUR: Yinson Production's US$1.458 billion (RM5.9 billion) Agogo floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) project bond refinancing has freed up financing capacity for new projects as the company eyes expansion across Southeast Asia, West Africa and Latin America.
Yinson Production has announced plans to expand its operations across Southeast Asia, West Africa, and Latin America following a successful US$1.458 billion refinancing of its Agogo FPSO project bond. The company's CFO, Markus Wenker, stated that the refinancing has freed up financing capacity, allowing the company to repay about US$1.4 billion in existing loans and support future projects.
Yinson Production has diversified its funding sources over the past four years, reducing its reliance on bank loans to 75% and increasing its institutional investment to 25%. The company has access to several billion US dollars in debt financing and remains confident in its financing track record, despite the perception that capital for large offshore projects is not available.
The CEO, Flemming Guiducci Grønnegaard, highlighted the strong fundamentals of the offshore energy market and the company's continued interest in FPSO opportunities, particularly in the mid-sized segment. Yinson Production is also exploring opportunities in Suriname, Guyana, and Namibia, and is developing capabilities in floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG).
