Business Consulting

Our shipping industry is primarily driven by global trade flow of commodities. Therefore, in addition to our existing portfolio of services, we regularly perform sector research to analyse the dynamics of trade and time vessel buying/selling decisions. Research is done on both supply and demand side of the equation with constant changes in trade patterns and vessel design. 

Team Cardinal speaks to ship financing community in the U.S., Europe and Asia and based on our client’s requirements, we structure projects and arrange debt/equity and mezzanine financing. We actively pursue projects wherein the vessel is tied with period employment and financial returns provide value for our clients. In addition, Bareboat charters and Sale and Lease backs can be arranged as well.

Shipping is a truly global and dynamic business where latest information can influence the revenue streams of our clients. We at Cardinal are constantly exchanging contacts and updating information to provide period chartering for Panamax, Supramax and Handy bulkers. In the tanker space, key focus areas are MR and small tankers.

Keeping track of sale and purchase transactions on a weekly basis and access to market intelligence, coupled with sound technical know-how, enables us to provide unbiased and accurate valuations in all major vessel segments of commercial shipping. We provide valuations to a variety of businesses engaged in shipping: Financiers, publicly listed entities and private owners.
