MANAMA, June 25, 2018

Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the Bahrain-based aluminium smelter, said it was the recipient of ‘TXF Middle-Eastern ECA Finance Deal of 2017’ at the TXF Prague Conference which was held earlier this month in Czech Republic.

Categorised as one of the perfect 10 TXF ECA finance deals of the year, the award recognised Alba’s efforts to raise around $700 million for Euler Hermes and SERV-covered facilities in July 2017 to finance the construction of 1.8 GW combined-cycle power plant and the power distribution system for its landmark Line 6 Expansion project, said a statement from the company.

Shaikh Daij Bin Salman Bin Daij Al Khalifa, chairman of Alba’s board of directors, said: “To be recognised as a winner in the Perfect 10 TXF ECA finance deals of the year, for securing first tranche of ECA-covered facilities, is a another accomplishment for us.”

“I would like to extend our thanks to the participating banks which have partnered with us in this transaction, we all have emerged winners thanks to their trust in our Line 6 Expansion Project,” he added.

The mandated lead arrangers on this deal consist of Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Citibank NA, Commerzbank AG, JP Morgan Chase Bank NA and Standard Chartered Bank (HK) Ltd. Commerzbank AG acted as the facility agent for both SERV and Euler Hermes covered facilities, it said.

The facilities are made-up of a dual tranche of $310.4 million and €314.3 million SERV Guaranteed Export Credit and €50 million Euler Hermes Guaranteed Export Credit.

The SERV-backed facility will fund the Company’s Power Station 5 (PS 5) wherein General Electric (GE), being the EPC contractor, will provide three 9HA gas turbines, three steam turbines and three Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs).

This facility will have a 15-year tenor and the principal amount will be repaid over 12-year period.

The Hermes-backed facility will finance the power distribution systems (PDS) where Siemens will construct and commission high voltage electrical network and provide gas insulated switchgear (GIS) up to 220kV.

This facility will have a 14-year tenor and the principal amount will be repaid over 12-year period, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service

[:es]Digamos que estás redactando la estrategia de marketing de contenidos definitiva. Lorem Ipsum es el texto de marcador de posición que representa contenido significativo. Permite a los diseñadores enfocarse en colocar primero los elementos gráficos, como tipografía, fuente y diseño de página, antes de avanzar con el resto de su estrategia. Antes de la publicación, reemplaza el texto de Lorem Ipsum con su contenido pulido y de alta calidad.

Típicamente, el texto de Lorem Ipsum consiste en una sección mezclada de De finibus bonorum et malorum, un texto filosófico del primer siglo escrito por Cicerón. Las palabras se agregan, modifican o eliminan para que no tenga sentido.

Uno de los principales beneficios de usar Lorem Ipsum es que se puede generar fácilmente y elimina la presión de los diseñadores para crear un texto significativo. En su lugar, pueden centrarse en crear el mejor sitio web posible y agregar contenido después de que se haya diseñado una página.

Desde la década de 1500, cuando una impresora mezclaba una galería de tipos para crear un libro de muestras, Lorem Ipsum ha sido el estándar de la industria para el texto de relleno.

Hoy en día, una variedad de software puede crear texto aleatorio que se parece a Lorem Ipsum. Por ejemplo, las páginas de Apple y el software Keynote utilizan texto de marcador de posición codificado. Y Lorem Ipsum aparece en Google Docs, WordPress y Microsoft Office Word.[:]
