Activities
Providing comprehensive operational & commercial support to investors and owners
Investment
We maintain a “segment-agnostic” approach, so as to be able to opportunistically identify investments across the entire shipping industry, while focusing on projects that offer a superior risk-reward profile. Our core strategy emphasizes assets that generate optimal yields, while remaining future-proof as regards ongoing developments to curb shipping emissions.
We opt for a diversified portfolio with exposure to different segments -and niches- of the shipping markets, with a view as to maximizing consistent returns and investing countercyclically.
We are hands-on investors, keeping a close eye on our portfolio operations and leveraging the in-house experience that we gained through operational activities.
Since inception in 2018, our team has made 30 investments. We currently have over USD 100 million in assets under management.
