Home ports: Hamburg, Piraeus and Amsterdam
With our long-standing presence in Hamburg and Piraeus, we are a strong partner across the entire maritime sector and – importantly – we are with you through the cycle. Since this year, we have also been represented in Amsterdam . We think entrepreneurially and are active from financing initiation to Closing and beyond. Personal contact and tailored advice are at the heart of what we offer. Supply chains can be relaxed or tense, inflation can be high or low – supply and demand change accordingly. Ship financing remains a challenging business because it is cyclical. We also offer suitable hedging instruments for your currency transactions. Be it with regard to current rating requirements or the optimization of your interest, liquidity and risk management.
