“We’re proud to partner with OSG in providing capital for the refinance of the vessels,” Kirk Phillips, President and CEO of Wintrust Commercial Finance, added.
“The Overseas Mykonos and Overseas Santorini are the only two oil tankers that participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program and this transaction gives us the flexibility to continue this participation,” Sam Norton, OSG’s Chief Executive Officer, said.
