June 1 (LNGJ) - The Korea Development Bank said it lent 480 billion Korean won ($388M) along with several other banks to the South Korean shipyard, Hyundai Heavy Industries, as part of its pro-environment “green loans” programme. The other banks involved included UK-based HSBC and ICBC, a KDB affiliate.
“Green loans usually are offered to finance eco-friendly projects, such as LNG carriers, renewable energies and high-efficient energies,” said a statement. Hyundai Heavy will use the funds from the loan to develop technologies for LNG carriers.
