Redwood Markets Partners with EH Energy to Deliver Trade Credit Insurance to the LNG Industry
HOUSTON (PRWEB) August 22, 2018 -- Redwood Markets and One Source Risk Management have chosen EH Energy, a division of Euler Hermes North America Insurance Company, to lead a syndicate of underwriters to deliver Trade Credit Insurance solutions for the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) market through its online trading platform “The Redwood Marketplace”.
This new program will utilize a customized suite of Trade Credit Insurance products to provide trade credit and political risk insurance that will protect transacting counterparties in the event of a failure to pay. Sellers of cargoes of physical LNG who enter into transactions using the Redwood Marketplace online trading platform will have the added ability to buy Trade Credit and Political Risk Insurance at the point-of-sale. Buyers benefit from unlocking working capital that may be tied up posting Letters of Credit. Coverage may include some or all of the following perils:
• Insolvency
• Protracted Default
• Mark-to-Market coverage (Spread Loss Risk coverage)
• Political Risks - Including (but not limited to) coverage for war and insurrection, government moratorium, cancellation of import/export permits, currency transfer and inconvertibility
Ajay Batra, CEO and Co-Founder of Redwood Markets, said that “In order for the physical market for LNG to become liquid, new products and services need to enter the market that make it simpler, more cost-effective and more efficient to trade. Trade credit is an area that is increasingly important in the growing market for LNG, and there are few creative solutions. Products like these, coupled with our online trade confirmation system, simplify the transaction process for traders and help provide a more complete range of risk management products to their firms.”
Kevin Sullivan, VP at One Source, said that “EH Energy’s experience in the North America gas and LNG sectors coupled with their strong AA rating and global presence make them an ideal partner to lead a trade credit insurance syndicate for “The Redwood Marketplace”.
Pat McKinnon, Senior Director at Euler Hermes North America, said that “EH Energy is excited to offer the same opportunities to advance liquidity that have been so well received by the conventional energy markets to growing LNG markets. Working with Redwood Markets and One Source streamlines the process for the market as a whole.”
