Our Approach: Six Pillars Driving Transformation in Maritime Investment.

Tailored shipping investment platform providing focused exposure to the dry bulk and tanker sectors
Alignment of interests through co-investment — we commit our own capital alongside third-party investors in every transaction
Portfolio resilience through diversified asset allocation across vessel types and market cycles
Active vessel management aimed at enhancing operational performance, income stability and meticulous investor reporting.
Adroit deal structuring and financial modelling utilizing conservative leverage through our trusted network of financial institutions to enhance returns.
Clear exit strategy focused on realising gains and returning capital to investors

The fund brings together third-party capital with general partner co-investment, creating a strategically aligned platform that leverages diverse resources to pursue maritime asset growth. This structure ensures strong alignment of interest, with a shared focus on maximizing long-term financial returns through disciplined investments in the shipping sector.

The fund’s strategy is centered on direct asset ownership and active vessel management. Each vessel acquisition undergoes thorough legal, financial, and operational due diligence by our dedicated S&P team, while vessels are managed by our commercial and technical managers, all of whom bring over 20 years of industry experience.

Investment decisions are supported by data analysis and quantitative techniques, allowing for greater precision in identifying opportunities and mitigating risk. This integrated approach allows the Fund to maintain close oversight of asset performance, respond proactively to evolving market conditions, and implement a disciplined, long-term investment strategy.

Diversification is a key component of the SSF’s approach. With a focus on both the dry bulk and tanker sectors, the portfolio is positioned to navigate varying market cycles and reduce concentration risk by investments across vessel types.

The main objective remains the acquisition of high-quality assets generating recurring income, while offering attractive exit opportunities to realize capital appreciation.
