Vroon has reached an in-principle agreement with all its lenders regarding the terms of its financial restructuring. The agreement, which is only subject to final documentation and credit committee confirmation, is an important step forward towards the finalisation of Vroon’s financial restructuring.

The agreement marks the important step towards the final stage of a process initiated in late 2016 following continued challenges in shipping markets.
