MPC Container Ships ASA
Our customers’ well-diversified portfolio of tankers, bulkers, containers and carriers is becoming increasingly rejuvenated, thus enabling an improved carbon footprint for both sides. One third of the markets are in Greece, one quarter in Germany and the rest within the EU and UK. Only just under 10% are in other regions.
MPCC, a listed company from Oslo, has been a customer since 2020.
Launched in 2017, MPC Containerships ASA has developed into one of the world’s largest providers of container tonnage.
Project details
The 50 million US dollar financing made it possible to renew the fleet with modern tonnage en bloc. The ships were on average only five years old at the time and were built in eco-design. This enables MPCC to significantly improve its carbon footprint. The loan from HCOB, provided very flexibly and quickly, enabled a high degree of planability. MPCC was therefore able to react quickly to the seller’s attractive offer. For us, the loan means a rejuvenation of the ship portfolio and leads to a reduced carbon footprint for HCOB at product portfolio level.
