Since 2003, we have broadened our expertise to include other maritime sectors such as shore-based logistics and box finance, whilst retaining our core discipline of lending to the ocean-going transportation sector.

We pride ourselves on possessing a keen understanding of market drivers with their consequential cycles, and on nurturing genuine relationships with both clients and partners.

Debt facilities are provided on either a bi-lateral or club basis, or within syndicates of international banks for larger deals. Some of our more innovative solutions involve combining junior debt tranches with traditional senior funding. Short lines of communication within the Bank provide the basis for quick response times in what is often a very dynamic market.
