In a bid to trim its debt by Rs 700-750 crore, Varun Shipping is planning to exit its offshore business by September 2014. In this regard, the company has appointed merchant bankers to look at various options.
As on September 30, 2012, the company’s consolidated debt stood at Rs 2,769 crore. Last week, city-based Varun Shipping sold a large 1992-built gas carrier, Maharshi Vishwamitra, to Mercator for $30 million. It has also put Maharshi Bhardwaj, another large gas carrier, on the block.
Varun Shipping operates in four foreign-flag LPG carriers registered in Singapore, Indonesia, Cyprus and Marshall Islands. The company now proposes to register these vessels in India.
