S&P affirms U.K. Mutual Steam

S&P said it affirmed its A long-term issuer credit rating on U.K. P&I Club and its core group operating entities, United Kingdom Mutual Steam Ship Association (Bermuda) Ltd. and United Kingdom Mutual Steam Ship Association (Europe) Ltd.

On Aug. 22, the company redeemed its $100 million 7.5% notes.

“As this was the only debt instrument on the club's balance sheet, it will no longer be making interest payments. We expect no financial leverage or interest coverage over the next two years,” S&P said in a news release.

“This improves our financial flexibility assessment, which now largely reflects the club's proven access to the capital markets as well as its ability to make supplementary calls on International Group (IG) of P&I Clubs members.”
