Brightoil Petroleum (Holdings) Ltd. has announced that a wholly-owned subsidiary of the group has entered into a facility agreement with China Development Bank Corporation Hong Kong Branch for a term of 10 years. The total loan amount has been set at up to US$50 million.

"The facility agreement will enhance the financial strength of Brightoil, in conjunction with the existing facility entered into on 2 July 2013," Brightoil said.

"These facilities would support the development of the group's four core businesses, in particular the marine transportation business," the bunker supplier added.

Through the support, we can better allocate our resources and accelerate the pace of achieving our strategic goals to develop into an integrated international conglomerate."
