Maritime capital, structured clearly.
Vectra Maritime advises shipowners and investors on shipping finance and capital structure — comparing financing options, modelling cash flows and supporting negotiation for tanker and dry bulk tonnage.
What we do on finance mandates
Financing structure comparisons
Side-by-side evaluation of sale-leasebacks, senior and mezzanine debt and hybrid structures, with covenant analysis and explicit freight and residual-value assumptions for each option.
Capital structure & refinancing
Advice on fleet refinancing, debt restructuring and equity and debt raising — informed by the principal's two decades of shipping capital markets experience across the US, Europe and Asia.
DCF & sensitivity analysis
Vessel- and fleet-level DCF models with time-charter versus spot scenarios, cost overlays and sensitivity analysis prepared for investment committees.
Acquisition due diligence
Independent valuation, inspection and class-record review, and negotiation support through to delivery — so financing decisions rest on verified asset condition.

What does a financing comparison include?
A written comparison of the structures under consideration — pricing, covenants, amortisation, residual-value and freight assumptions — with a clear recommendation and the sensitivities behind it.

Institutional investors and shipowners evaluating acquisitions, refinancing or restructuring of tanker and dry bulk tonnage.
