NOL borrows US$1.5 bln for corporate purposes

The shipping company aims to raise funds after posting a net loss of US$741 million in 2009.

Neptune Orient Lines Limited (NOL) has established a US$1,500,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme under which the company may issue notes, a report from NOL said on Monday.

Three major banks: DBS Bank Ltd, The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and Standard Chartered Bank have been appointed as the arrangers of the programme.

Application has been made to the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) for permission. The permission will be granted when the notes have been admitted to the Official List of the SGX-ST.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
