Expert financial advisor Fabrizio Fiorito gave us a detailed overview of the peculiarities of structuring a ship financing transaction, emphasizing the importance of freight rates, which add value to the ship itself.
He also retraced the history of ship financing, starting with the crisis of the 2010s and continuing to the present day, providing us with a comprehensive picture of how investment funds have taken on a predominant role in the sector.
We concluded the meeting with a lively Q&A session during which Fabrizio answered participants’ questions and analyzed the impact on the sector of the structural change that has seen ship financing pass from the hands of banks to those of investment funds.
