Aegean Marine Petroleum Network Inc. said on Tuesday it has received a $681 million stalking-horse bid by Swiss commodities trader Mercuria Energy Group Ltd, Reuters reported. The proposal has been filed with the U.S. bankruptcy court for the southern district of New York, the marine fuel logistics company said. Earlier this month, Aegean Marine and some of its subsidiaries filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company said that it received a court approval granting it access to the $532 million debtor-in-possession credit facility funded by Mercuria.
