(firmenpresse) - GENEVA, SWITZERLAND -- (Marketwired) -- 12/09/13 -- Gunvor Group Ltd ("Gunvor" or "Group") has signed a USD 1.515 billion Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) in favor of Gunvor International B.V. and Gunvor SA (together the "Borrowers").

In addition, on a longer-term basis, the 3-year tranche complements Gunvor's $500 million bond, and individual project and acquisition financings.
