Shipping company Caravelle Group has signed a definitive merger agreement with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Pacifico Acquisition, to go public in a deal worth around $527m.

Existing shareholders will transfer 100% of their equity into the merged entity.

The deal is anticipated to deliver around $100m of cash proceeds. This includes an expected $60m private investment in public equity (PIPE) as well as up to $58m of cash in the Pacifico trust account.

Caravelle CEO Dr Guohua Zhang said: “Being what we believe will be the first ocean-carbon neutral technology public company on Nasdaq, Caravelle hopes to jump-start the ocean economy and carbon neutral technology into exponential growth, as well as achieve environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) goals in the ocean transportation industry.”

Caravelle offers international shipping services and carbon-neutral solutions for wood desiccation.
