At Trafigura, we are committed to finding innovative ways to connect the vital resources that power and build the world. This includes developing financing structures that promote investment in secure and resilient supply chains. To that end, we’re proud to announce our latest deal with an Export Credit Agency (ECA) — a USD 200 million financing facility backed by Korea Trade Insurance Corporation (Ksure)), Korea’s official ECA. What makes this facility unique? Unlike traditional ECA-backed financing, this facility is not directly linked to commodity trading volumes. Instead, it supports time charter agreements with Korean shipowners, helping to boost Korea’s maritime sector while enhancing our global freight operations. The facility will help finance costs such as time charter fees paid by Trafigura’s shipping business to Korean shipowners. The USD 200 million facility was made possible with the support of: - Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (Coordinating and Structuring Bank) - Barclays - Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation It shows how the public and private sectors can work together to promote global trade. Andrea Olivi, Global Head of Shipping at Trafigura, said: “This innovative financing structure with K-SURE underscores our long-term commitment to developing strategic partnerships in Korea. The support enables us to work more closely with Korean shipping companies and contributes to building a more resilient and diversified maritime supply chain. We are proud to support Korean exporters and strengthen our collaboration with Ksure.”  You can read the full statement here👉: https://lnkd.in/e__2juaF   And for more about our industry-leading shipping and marine logistics business go here👉: https://lnkd.in/eXP6eq5E #Trafigura #KSURE #TradeFinance #Shipping #GlobalTrade #SupplyChain #ECA #MaritimeIndustry #ConnectingVitalResources

Trafigura is proud to be collaborating with Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore and HIGHWAY INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE LIMITED on trials of EME2 technology - a more durable bitumen for Singapore's roads.

"We're pleased to be working with local partners to supply new products that enhance Singapore's road network," said Dmitri Croitor, our Head of Energy in Asia.
