Shipping
Many banks have withdrawn from ship financing. Despite stormy times, we have remained in the market, as we are convinced that the sector offers good business opportunities in the long term due to the constant growth in global trade.
Working with you, we want to exploit all opportunities offered by the financial and capital markets. We want to do justice to your objectives and developments in shipping. We are familiar with the challenges facing you as an investor and ship owner, as we are navigating the same market armed with our experience and passion.
We offer alternative financing options, are conscious of interest from investors, and make use of the opportunities offered by syndications. At the same time, we examine the options provided by corporate finance, while keeping a firm view of your and our risks.
Thanks to our longstanding presence in Hamburg, Athens, and Singapore, we are a strong partner throughout the maritime sector. And just like you, we think in business terms, offering support through all financing stages. Personal contact and the provision of individual advice are particularly important to us in this. This is the only way to do business on an equal footing that makes commercial sense for all parties.
We finance the construction of new ships, as well as second-hand ships, providing you with products including structured loans as well as short-, medium-, and long-term ship mortgages. Our focus is on shipping in the regions of Germany, Greece, Europe, Asia, and America.
