Further, special emphasis is placed on tankers, due to the nature of their cargo, so that financing is granted only to tankers that are not only young (ships aged up to years served as collateral for 30% of the tankers portfolio) but also comply with the latest requirements on the prevention of pollution, in line with the applicable International Conventions and Regulations on environmental protection, while the relevant loan agreements stipulate that non-compliance with the environmental regulations by the vessel owner may lead to termination of the loan agreement by the Bank.
