Newbuilding & Finance

The head of our newbuilding department has been active in the Far East newbuilding and shipping market, primarily in Korea and China for several decades involving pioneering work/projects such as the first VLGCs ever to be ordered at and delivered from a Chinese shipyard, ie CSSC Jiangnan (a series of 8 vessels).

Through the involvement and placement of more than 250 Newbuilding contracts dating back to the early 1990s involving not only gas carriers, but also chemical carriers, tankers, clean and dirty from MR to VLCC, dry cargo from Handysize to Newcastlemax as well as containers vessels, BRAVO GROUP feel well placed in terms of knowledge and long term connections to serve and add value to any enquiry you would like to share and discuss with us.

We draw on our considerable on-site experience to guide and assist our clients to place orders with reputable builders, combined with up-to-date market analysis, commercial and technical contract negotiations we well as finance.

Through our extensive involvement in Newbuilding projects for which finance is a crucial and often determining factor, we have established close contacts with finance providers in the Far East and Europe.

We have experience in securing traditional mortgage finance, sale leaseback structures, mezzanine finance and direct equity participation with international banks and leasing companies as well as dedicated smaller club deal specialists and the Nordic Bond market.
