Our Edge
setting the standard
Superior Access to Financiers
unique relationships, unmatched reach
Unrivalled access to leasing houses in China, Taiwan, Japan, and Korea, many of which are relatively unknown internationally but are eager to finance foreign shipowners.
​
Strong presence on the ground in China, with direct connections to senior management within leasing houses.
​
Exceptional success rate due to our unique expertise and extensive placing power among potential lenders.
Alternative Finance
available, attractive, and expanding
​
Chinese leasing has become the preferred alternative to traditional bank lending for vessel finance, with Chinese institutions continuing to expand, while European and American shipping banks remain in contraction.
​
The key advantages of sale-and-leaseback structures include higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratios compared to mortgage-backed bank loans and longer age profiles. Pricing remains competitive, typically on par with traditional bank loans, offering a more favourable weighted average cost of capital.
Best Terms Available
guaranteed access to better deals
We are able to source highly attractive financing proposals for any type of shipping transaction, whether it involves new-buildings, second-hand purchases, or refinancing of existing vessels.
​
Even when our clients have pre-existing relationships with one or more Chinese leasing houses, we consistently secure better terms than they would receive directly.
Additionally, we have access to funding sources that are otherwise unavailable to non-Chinese shipowners, unlocking exclusive opportunities.
Fast Execution
efficient process for maximum results
Our typical process provides an initial indication within a few days of receiving your information package, a term sheet within 10 days after agreeing on the main terms, and funding within 1-2 months of signing the term sheet.
​
Our deep relationships, in-depth understanding of what each lessor seeks at any given time, and extensive experience managing finance projects ensure an efficient process that maximizes the likelihood of a successful close.
