Cadeler Boosts Offshore Wind Operations with Increased Funding Commitment

 

In a strategic move to fortify its position in the offshore wind sector, Cadeler has secured additional capital, increasing the HSBC Corporate Facility from EUR 50 million to EUR 80 million.

 

Copenhagen, March 5 2024: This development builds upon Cadeler's existing partnership with HSBC, which had facilitated an unsecured green term loan facility of EUR 50 million to fuel the company's expansion plans, particularly in the construction of P Class and A Class newbuild vessels, and the upgrade of existing O Class vessels with new cranes to install next-generation wind turbine generators.

 

The extended facility underscores Cadeler's strategic positioning in the offshore wind market. With a keen focus on meeting the escalating global demands and successfully executing large-scale offshore wind installation projects, Cadeler remains poised for continued growth and innovation.

 

"We are very pleased with the support and the shared vision of the potential in Cadeler and the offshore wind market. We are well placed to meet the increasing global demands and to execute the largest and most complex offshore wind installation projects," stated Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of Cadeler.

 

Christina Ma, Head of Global Banking Asia Pacific at HSBC, commented, "The upsizing of this green facility reinforces our capabilities and domain expertise in offering tailored solutions for our clients. We’re pleased to be able to upsize the lending facility in our role as the Sole Mandated Lead Arranger."

 

This capital infusion not only amplifies Cadeler's financial capabilities but also affirms its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, aligning with the principles of green financing.
