Projects and Finance
Ship Finance Arranging
Compass Maritime, based in the New York metropolitan area, has an unsurpassed access to financial markets and investors. Besides the public capital markets, there is a well-documented investment interest in shipping by private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, insurance companies, pension funds, leasing companies, investment banks and arrangers, and commercial lenders. Their investment profiles can be as diverse and encompassing as the versatility of the shipping markets themselves - from low risk/low reward projects to full market exposure, from residual play and asset play to residual value guarantees, from syndicated lending to mezzanine finance, from operating and finance leases to Capital Construction Fund (CCF) and Title XI ship finance.
Compass Maritime has successfully been able to deliver value to our clients, whether they are based in the US, Greece, Europe, Scandinavia or the Far East. For a capital intense business such as the shipping industry, there is no place like New York that has the capacity and flexibility to consider such an international and volatile industry such as shipping.
There is no better access to the capital markets than the well seasoned and experienced staff of Compass Maritime Services.
