Without access to appropriate finance, the maritime industry as
we know it would cease to exist. Whether it is the purchase of a
ship, investment in a shipping start-up or the outlay into research
and development, finance is the engine of progress in the shipping
world.
Shipping Finance takes the guesswork out of fiscal
planning, delivering professionally reviewed guidance from both
sides of the financing fence. Taking the lender's perspective,
Shipping Finance considers the basic principles of good
lending and sources of security for loans. From the borrower's
angle, Shipping Finance examines different equity sources,
from debt financing and the bond markets to various loans,
securitisation and tax-efficient financing schemes. It also
examines the all-important debt-equity balance and Islamic finance
options.
Delivering an excellent insight into the pitfalls of misreading
the market cycles, Shipping Finance includes several case
studies on shipping company failures. The book considers the
difficulty of attracting equity investment into shipping, with
examples of listed shipping companies that have managed to overcome
this equity investment reticence.
