mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=27817 WASHINGTON, Oct 27 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. Government’s development finance institution, has signed a commitment to provide $200 million in financing to ISQ Asia Fund, L.P., an infrastructure fund managed by U.S.-based infrastructure investor I Squared Capital. The Asia Development Bank estimates that over $1 trillion must be spent on infrastructure to maintain the region’s continued economic growth. With South and Southeast Asian economies being held back by lack of infrastructure, there is an increased need for private sector investments in the region. With support from OPIC, I Squared Capital hopes to deploy capital throughout emerging Asia to finance projects that will contribute to the current economic growth trajectory.
“Investments in infrastructure are a critical foundation for lasting development,” said Elizabeth L. Littlefield, OPIC President and CEO. “Across Asia, there is a significant demand for infrastructure that is not currently being met. By partnering with I Squared Capital, we hope to focus on infrastructure investments including renewable energy, transportation, water and waste management throughout Asia’s emerging markets. These projects will promote sustainable economic development and demonstrate the potential for investments in these markets.” mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=27816 SINGAPORE, Oct 27 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- AG&P (Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Company), the leading infrastructure solutions provider, today announced the launch of its ultra-shallow draft 4000 – 8000m³ LNG carrier (LNGC), capable of accessing rivers and shallow harbors with a draft of only two meters. In a first for the rapidly emerging small-scale LNG infrastructure industry in Southeast Asia, the LNGC will serve as a ‘work horse’ for near shore LNG milk-run deliveries to locations that have limited access including shallow rivers and restricted harbors with low water depth.
Conceived by AG&P, the first-of-its-kind vessel, the LNGC work horse has a unique hull design that reduces the waterline entrance angle and vessel resistance in waves. It can be ballasted in open water improving both stability and speed and does not need handling tugs. The vessel cargo capacity is easily scalable from 4000 – 8000m³ with flexibility to travel near shore or take on LNG cargo from a floating storage unit (FSU) anchored offshore. It can navigate open seas as well as riverine waterways with a minimum speed requirement as low as eight knots. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=27815 Companies who allocated more of their R&D budgets to software offerings reported significantly faster revenue growth than others according to PwC's Strategy&
