Shipping finance

We work for providers, arrangers and consumers of shipping finance; that includes the world’s leading banks, lessors, brokers, owners and operators of offshore and sub-sea installations, oil majors, LNG operators, shipbuilders and repairers, container shippers and cruise ship owners and operators.

We advise on innovative financing techniques that are commercially focused and include Islamic financing.

Our finance work in the shipping industry includes ship-secured and unsecured loan financing; structured finance for shipping companies such as tax-leveraged financing products, securitisation and cross-border leasing; the purchase, registration and disposal of ships and shipping companies; the negotiation of shipbuilding contracts, charters and shipping pools; and advice on capital markets and port financing.
