 this will total wipe off the equity 395m, making -equity,  worth nothing. better avoid
Implications of the April maturity of the US$130m loan
facility. RMT had US$110.7m in cash as of 31 Dec but the
question is if the remaining seven lenders will be willing to
release that cash to only three lenders, considering the
outstanding capital commitment of US$918.6m and the very
likely breached loan-to-value covenants on the existing
US$773.8m loans. The key determinant of the outcome is
how close the banks and the sponsor are to reaching an overall
agreement (which is in approximately month 12 of
discussions). We re-iterate that it is not in the sponsor's best
interest for RMT to default as the sponsor will end up footing
the bill for the new ships (which are perhaps worth about half
of what they cost)
.
The lenders are probably not keen to see
a default situation either (especially if they also lend to the
sponsor). The likely outcome is that the burden will eventually
be passed to RMT's unitholders through dilution via fresh
equity.

The problem is that most shipping trust doesn't view itself as alternative financing companies. Instead, they have the illusion that they are shipping lines and therefore take unnecessary risks.

management  today  are  nOt  MANAGERS.

management  today  are  rEally  Administrators.

They  just  PROCESS  ORDERS  BLINDLY.

today,  so many documents (invoice, do,  receipt,  letter, etc)  are nOt  signed

and  imply  churn  out computers  and sent withOUT  even the company  knowing

whether they  are  Right  or  WRONG.

Like previously,  PUB  Bills  which  were  WRONG  but  just sent  out  because Management dOn't lOOk  at  anything any mOre.

How  to  manage  sOmething  withOut  sEEing  and  knOwing?

I dont think ple put their full faith into both SWFs, like wat u said.

In fact many are very sceptical of all investment decisions by these 2 entities. And going by what u just said, I infer u have this mindset as well.

Nobody is saying we need to follow anything they invest in, correct?? But if you are going along the line of saying they are using "citizen's money", so we are necessarily "following" their choice, which is "not a right attitude"? Or maybe you are saying why must we take thieir decisions to be correct? That would suggest you wish the decisions would be consultational with citizens. Is that practical?

I hope I am not being too confusing here. But I just think there seems to be too much opportunistic bashing of these 2 entities whenever things go wrong, by people in general. Its as though we expect all decisions made by them to be correct. And ironically, this seems to come from many of us retailer investors which i have a strong tendency to believe are making losses just like anyone else in this bear period. Apologies if i misunderstood your meaning

yah. agree with you two. so scary. Long history no quarantee of survival, so scary.

Yet in singapore, we have people put their full faith that anything Temasek, GIC has a hand in must be good and solid. Is that the right attitude? Is temasek and GIC infallible? Anything they invest in, we must follow. So GIC has a stake in minzhong, should we also buy minzhong and keep?

Telefunken in Germany with hundred of years of history also bankrupt in 80's.

Leman brother , hundred of years also downed.

Money don't care about past history, care more about present , no even future. No money no talk.

PST  can  PiCK appropriate new ships (which are perhaps worth about half of what they cost) and BiD  from  one-tenth to one-quarter of cost at the AUCTION. 

SHIP Assets  Auction by China Banks happened in 2007.
