Unsecured Debt

At February 28, 2017, our short-term borrowings consisted of euro-denominated commercial paper of $159 million and euro-denominated bank loans of $10 million with an aggregate weighted-average floating interest rate of (0.04)%.

In January 2017, we borrowed $100 million under a floating rate bank loan, due in January 2022.

In January 2017, we entered into an approximately $800 million export credit facility, which may be drawn in euro or U.S. dollars in 2021 and will be due in semi-annual installments through 2033. The interest rate on this export credit facility can be fixed or floating, at our discretion.

For the three months ended February 28, 2017, we had borrowings of $111 million and repayments of $240 million of commercial paper with original maturities greater than three months.

We use the net proceeds from our borrowings for general corporate purposes and purchases of new ships.
