Bunker company Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. [NYSE: ANW] (Aegean) has arranged a $750 million credit facility with a syndicate of banks.

The deal runs for three years and includes an option for an additional $250m, the company said. It replaces an outgoing one-year $1 billion facility, it added.

The funds together with a $250m US credit arrangement agreed earlier this year are to cover working capital needs.

"This new, three-year facility, on improved terms with a strong syndicate of international banks is a true testament to the strength of Aegean's global network," said company president Jonathan McIlroy.

"We believe it will provide flexibility to continue executing our strategy," McIlroy added.

The US-listed firm posted a loss in its third quarter results.
