What type of assets can be financed?
We can finance any maritime asset related to shipping, cruise, offshore, wind installations, ports, and terminals. This includes newbuildings, the acquisition of second-hand assets, and refinancing of existing assets.
What is the maximum age of the assets that can be financed?
​
Ideally, assets should be no older than 10 years, but we can consider assets up to 15-18 years old for companies with a strong balance sheet. Even older assets can be financed for LNG vessels, cruise ships, and FPSOs.
Is financing available on a corporate or project basis?
We prefer borrowers with a corporate structure, including a holding company that owns at least 5 ships, and the ability to issue a parent guarantee. However, project-based financing on a non-recourse basis can also be arranged, provided there is satisfactory employment.
Is there a minimum transaction size requirement?
We can raise financing amounts starting as low as $5 million, though progressively better terms can be achieved from $25 million upwards.
