What is Marine Finance?

We work with many cross border traders who buy and sell goods. Most of this is done by boat. We are able to assist in providing finance for boats, barges, vessels or other sea worthy vessels to companies. Many companies are not sure where to turn when they are purchasing new vessels and struggle to raise money for their company; this can be for many reasons and can be due to speaking to the wrong person in an organization to the financier not understanding their business model. We take the time to understand your business and work with you to structure a marine finance package that works.

Marine Finance

We work with partners who have a deep understanding and depth of experience in the marine finance market. This is for vessels as wide as ships, fishing boats and cargo carriers. We understand that vessels are used in different ways and can fit into your company using a number of strategies.

Marine Finance Requirements

•  You are looking for a finance facility
•  You have an established trading company
•  The business is creditworthy

How the transaction works

When a company looks to buy a vessel, a specialist finance knowledge and product is required, as many banks and more vanilla funders will not offer the facility as a standard product. Both sellers and buyers understand that there are more complexities involved when compared to purchasing a standard vehicle. A funder will usually work in a similar way to a standard asset finance transaction where security will be taken over the underlying vessel.
