據烴加工新聞9月23日消息稱，加拿大Inter管道公司表示，將以5.373億美元的價格將其大部分歐洲散裝液體儲存業務出售給總部位于西班牙的CLH集團。該公司表示，出售所得將用于削減債務、改善資產負債表，并幫助制定支出計劃，包括投資位于阿爾伯塔省的Heartland石化企業。

這家管道運營商已于3月中止了該交易，稱該業務的潛在買家已受到COVID-19大流行的嚴重影響，并且目前還不是進行大規模泛歐洲交易的合適時機。

此次出售包括Inter在英國、愛爾蘭、荷蘭和德國的所有散裝液體存儲和處理資產，總計15個存儲終端和約1800萬桶的存儲能力。

交易預計將于第四季度完成，在完成交易后，Inter將保留其在瑞典和丹麥的8個終端，總存儲容量約為1900萬桶。

Canadian company Inter to sell European assets to raise money for its petrochemical unit in Alberta

Canada's Inter Pipeline Ltd said that it will sell a major portion of its European bulk liquid storage business to Spain-based CLH Group for $537.73 million. Proceeds from the sale will be used to cut debt, improve the balance sheet and help with Inter's spending plans, including on its Heartland Petrochemical Complex in Alberta, the company said.

The pipeline operator had halted the sale in March, stating potential buyers of the business had been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and that it was not the right time to pursue a major pan-European transaction.

The sale includes all of Inter's bulk liquid storage and handling assets in the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Germany, totaling 15 storage terminals and about 18 million barrels of storage capacity.

After the close of the deal, expected in fourth quarter, Inter will retain its 8 terminals in Sweden and Denmark comprising about 19 million barrels of aggregate storage capacity.
