加拿大Inter出售欧洲资产为艾伯塔省石化部门筹资

据烃加工新闻9月23日消息称，加拿大Inter管道公司表示，将以5.373亿美元的价格将其大部分欧洲散装液体储存业务出售给总部位于西班牙的CLH集团。该公司表示，出售所得将用于削减债务、改善资产负债表，并帮助制定支出计划，包括投资位于阿尔伯塔省的Heartland石化企业。

这家管道运营商已于3月中止了该交易，称该业务的潜在买家已受到COVID-19大流行的严重影响，并且目前还不是进行大规模泛欧洲交易的合适时机。

此次出售包括Inter在英国、爱尔兰、荷兰和德国的所有散装液体存储和处理资产，总计15个存储终端和约1800万桶的存储能力。

交易预计将于第四季度完成，在完成交易后，Inter将保留其在瑞典和丹麦的8个终端，总存储容量约为1900万桶。

Canadian company Inter to sell European assets to raise money for its petrochemical unit in Alberta

Canada's Inter Pipeline Ltd said that it will sell a major portion of its European bulk liquid storage business to Spain-based CLH Group for $537.73 million. Proceeds from the sale will be used to cut debt, improve the balance sheet and help with Inter's spending plans, including on its Heartland Petrochemical Complex in Alberta, the company said.

The pipeline operator had halted the sale in March, stating potential buyers of the business had been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and that it was not the right time to pursue a major pan-European transaction.

The sale includes all of Inter's bulk liquid storage and handling assets in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany, totaling 15 storage terminals and about 18 million barrels of storage capacity.

After the close of the deal, expected in fourth quarter, Inter will retain its 8 terminals in Sweden and Denmark comprising about 19 million barrels of aggregate storage capacity.
