Excelerate Energy Completes Purchase of FSRU Sequoia
20 April 2023 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
Excelerate Energy, Inc. (the “Company” or “Excelerate”) (NYSE:
EE) announced today that it has completed the purchase of the
floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) Sequoia for a purchase
price of $265 million from Anemoesa Marine Inc., a company
incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall
Islands. In March 2023, the Company closed on an amended and
restated $600 million senior secured credit facility, consisting of
a $350 million revolving credit facility and a $250 million term
loan. Proceeds from the term loan and cash on hand were used to
purchase the FSRU Sequoia.
“We are proud to add the FSRU Sequoia to the Excelerate
portfolio of fully owned assets,” said Steven Kobos, President and
CEO of Excelerate. “Acquiring the Sequoia, at a price well below
current market value, ensures the vessel will remain an integral
part of the Excelerate fleet for the long term. We look forward to
continuing to utilize the FSRU Sequoia to provide flexible access
to cleaner and more reliable energy to our valued markets.”
The FSRU Sequoia was delivered as a new build to Excelerate
Energy’s fleet in June 2020 under a five-year bareboat charter. The
FSRU Sequoia has a storage capacity of 173,400 cubic meters and can
operate as both an FSRU and a traditional LNG carrier. The FSRU
Sequoia is currently providing regasification services at the Bahia
Regasification Terminal in Bahia, Brazil.
