Investors and shipping companies in one and the same boat

MARITIM EQUITY has created a new ship fund model allowing investors to benefit directly from the high-growth international shipping market. The distinguishing feature of this structure is that investors directly finance the construction or purchase of ships together with selected financially strong shipping companies.
At the same time, MARITIM EQUITY is responding to the growing demand on the part of small and mid-size shipping companies for more flexible ways of financing their fleets.

As a partner with a solid credit rating, MARITIM EQUITY works directly with the banks, financing the ships as well as the shipping companies thus gaining access to interesting finance projects. The aim is to establish a diversified ship portfolio by acquiring stakes in several shipping companies operating different types and sizes of ships. At the same time, however, each shipping company remains the economic co-owner of its tonnage. In this way, both parties directly participate on a sustained basis in the performance of the financed ships.

MARITIM EQUITY was established by the Salomon Invest group, whose shareholders have co-initiated five of today’s leading ship fund issuers over the past thirty years, making a crucial contribution to their success. MARITIM EQUITY benefits not only from the comprehensive experience in creating and financing ship funds with an investment volume of several billion euros but also from the excellent network which the partners maintain in the shipping market.
