New York, July 17 – U.S. Shipping Corp. launched on Thursday its $213 million first-lien term loan due April 2018 with price talk of Libor plus 425 basis points to 450 bps with a 1% Libor floor and a par offer price, according to a market source.

UBS AG is the lead bank on the deal.

Proceeds will be used to reprice the company’s existing term loan B from Libor plus 775 bps with a 1.25% Libor floor.

Existing lenders will get paid out at 102 due to the current call protection.

Commitments are due on July 24, the source added.
