Shipping Investment Menu

The only barrier to entering today’s shipping market is money. With cash in hand, anyone could outsource services necessary for the safe operation and gainful employment of vessels to a number of specialist firms. 

Depending on the amount of financial resources one has at their disposal, the menu of investment opportunities in the sector can vary tremendously.

  • Publicly Traded Shipping Stocks: Invest in shares of shipping companies listed on global stock exchanges.

💰 $1,000,000 - $10,000,000

  • Private Placements in Shipping Projects: Participate in limited partnerships or syndicates that pool funds for investing in ships.

💼 $10,000,000 - $100,000,000
