Ship Finance

We act on behalf of lenders and borrowers in the funding of the construction and purchase of all kinds of vessels across many jurisdictions.

Our experience provides us with a detailed understanding of relevant issues from the borrower's perspective, in addition to providing individual lending institutions and syndicates with a first-rate securities package including Sharia compliant products.

Our team includes specialists in Banking & Finance, who draft and negotiate all ship finance documents relating to vessels registered in all leading jurisdictions. We can co-ordinate the registration of vessels, ship mortgages and other security worldwide. This knowledge of practical issues and the security concerns of a lender, together with a close understanding of the ship owner's requirements, sets our team apart. We are also well placed to advise on the acquisition, disposal and financing of marine asset based transactions, from single vessel SPVs to multinational groups with substantial fleets.
