Projects & Structured Finance

Explore a wide range of commercial opportunities

The exodus of traditional debt providers from the shipping industry and the new challenges looming ahead, around sustainability and digitalization, have created the need for innovation and closer collaboration. The traditional roles of owners – charterers – financiers are becoming less strictly confined as industry stakeholders seek to collaborate in order to cope with change, manage risks and exploit new market opportunities.

In this highly dynamic environment, Ariston is uniquely positioned to act as a cross-functional specialist who is able to bridge the cultural and knowledge gap amongst the various stakeholders, facilitating the exchange of ideas and the design of multilateral deals. Ariston has the network and capabilities to help clients explore a wide range of commercial opportunities and asset-based projects, including:

  • Financing of new purchases or refinancing of existing assets;
  • Joint-Ventures and pools;
  • Outright vessel acquisitions;
  • Bareboat leases;
  • Long-term TC arrangements with embedded optionality or other complex features.

Our solutions often combine financing and TC employment under the same package, thereby generating cost efficiencies and reducing execution risk.

The advantage of Ariston stems from its close ties with key players from the investor, financing and cargo side of the shipping industry, as well as its ability to think out-of-the-box and tailor solutions with specific consideration of the commercial, risk and financial aspects of a candidate project.

Ariston’s clients can enjoy a streamlined procedure from deal origination to execution, created by working closely with its partners. Even though every project is unique, Ariston has the experience and capabilities to ensure a seamless and successful execution.
