Product List

  • Vessel Acquisition Financing 

This is a loan or funding used to buy a ship.
If a shipping company wants to purchase a new or used vessel but doesn’t want to pay the full amount upfront, they get financing from a bank or investor.

  • Refinancing of Existing Vessels 

This means replacing an old loan on a ship with a new loan, usually with better terms (lower interest rate or longer repayment time).

  • Working Capital for Shipping Operations 

This is short-term funding used to cover day-to-day expenses, such as:  Fuel, Crew salaries.

  • Shipbuilding Finance

This is funding provided to build a new ship. Since shipbuilding takes time and costs a lot of money, financing helps cover construction payments to the shipyard.
