  2. Asset & Transaction Advisory

Supporting transactions across the maritime asset lifecycle.

Delta Blue provides advisory services focused on commercial maritime assets and the transactions that arise throughout their economic lives.

Our approach combines specialist maritime knowledge with disciplined analysis, considering both the income-generating potential of the vessel and its underlying asset value.

The context

Value across the asset lifecycle.

Commercial vessels are long-lived, capital-intensive assets operating within global markets that are continuously shaped by changes in trade, regulation, financing conditions and fleet requirements.

As these conditions evolve, the economics and ownership requirements of individual assets can change considerably throughout their operating lives.

This can create situations where the underlying value and potential of a vessel are not fully reflected in its current employment or ownership.

Delta Blue helps clients identify situations where market and asset expertise and disciplined analysis can provide a differentiated perspective on value.

Our perspective

Understanding both the asset and its economics.

Our analysis begins with the underlying maritime asset.

We consider the characteristics that influence its economic potential and underlying value, including its operating profile, market position, remaining economic life and the broader commercial and regulatory environment in which it operates.

This asset-level perspective is considered alongside the financial characteristics of each transaction, allowing clients to base decisions on both the economics of the vessel and the terms of the transaction.

A specialist asset class

Maritime assets demand deep asset and market expertise.

Commercial vessels are heterogeneous assets. Their value and economic potential can vary considerably according to vessel type, age, specification, condition, trading profile and market environment.

Understanding these differences is central to our approach. Delta Blue combines financial analysis with deep maritime expertise to evaluate assets within this complex and highly fragmented global asset class.
