The loans can cover 80% of the ships’ delivery payments, helping NCLH add ships without paying the full cost upfront. But NCLH must repay them over 12 years after delivery, with interest that can change as rates move. The filing gives no expected sales or profit from these ships, so the benefits and costs do not point clearly one way.
