1. Expertise
  2. Maritime Credit Advisory

Asset-level insight for maritime financing.

Delta Blue provides specialist advisory services to lenders and financiers assessing exposures across the maritime sector.

Our approach combines maritime asset knowledge with shipping credit experience to evaluate situations where the underlying asset, transaction terms and identifiable sources of repayment are central to the assessment.

The context

Maritime assets require specialist insight.

Commercial shipping is a global, capital-intensive industry supported by a diverse fleet of long-lived physical assets.

Financing decisions arise throughout the maritime asset lifecycle, particularly where asset characteristics, transaction complexity, timing or specialised technical requirements may not fit conventional assessment frameworks.

We believe these situations call for advisers with the expertise to understand both the underlying maritime asset and the terms on which it is financed and repaid.

Delta Blue supports financiers in these situations through disciplined asset-level assessment and independent technical and commercial analysis.

Our focus

Analysis from the asset up.

Our maritime credit advisory work begins with understanding the underlying asset and the economics supporting each transaction.

  1. The asset

    We assess the characteristics, economics and value of the maritime assets supporting each transaction.

  2. The cash flow

    We assess the sources, resilience and visibility of cash flows supporting repayment throughout the transaction lifecycle.

  3. The structure

    We assess the contractual framework, security, counterparties and transaction mechanics supporting each transaction.

  4. The path to repayment

    We assess the identifiable pathways through which financing is expected to be repaid, including the value of the underlying asset.
