Oman’s Salalah Methanol aims USD720mn loan from banks

09 Mar 2017

(MENAFN) Oman’s Salalah Methanol Co. asked banks for USD720mn syndicated loan that the state-run petrochemical firm would use for a new ammonia plant.

However, Salalah Methanol has not given an exact indication of the potential interest rate of the loan, but the borrower was looking at a rate in the low 300 basis points area.

Almost one-third of the USD720mn financing would be used to repay current debt, with the balance used to back construction of the new plant.

In addition, Canada’s SNC-Lavalin was given a construction deal by Salalah Methanol to build the ammonia plant, its utilities and off-site infrastructure.
