Shipping & Offshore
A tanker's cargo deck, seen from the bridge at sunset.
Tighter regulation, limited bank lending and unsettled investors have changed ship finance. IPFA taps alternative sources of capital for owners, shipyards, lenders and investors, with transactions covering US$27bn of capital. We fund the years the charter does not cover. We structure long-term funding for new and used vessels around shipbuilding and charter contracts, arrange ECA-backed newbuild and retrofit financing, and design structures that let fleets adopt new fuels without straining their balance sheets.
