London: The slump in the
global shipping market saw ship finance loans diminished to a five-year low in
the first quarter of this year to just under $5.9bn, a drop of around 60%
year-on-year, according to data analyst Dealogic.
The amounts were lower than
those seen in the last quarter of 2008, or the onset of the global credit
crunch, when loans fell to $6-7bn.
Norway-based DNB emerged as
the top bookrunner of syndicated marine loans for the first three months with
deals worth $821m. DNB was ranked second in the list of mandated lead arrangers
with $945m, behind HSBC sitting on a single $1.1bn deal.
Citi took the second and
third places for bookrunner and mandated lead arranger respectively. ABN Amro
was tied in second spot with Citi in bookrunner and ranked fourth in mandated
lead arranger, according to UK-based Dealogic.
Last year, syndicated
shipping loans stood at $68.4bn compared to $54.25bn in 2010.
