ABOUT US
Navigo Shipholding AG is a maritime asset investment platform which will serve as an entry point for institutional investors, with a long-term investment horizon and a conservative approach to risk-yield ratio, to jointly invest in a portfolio of vessel projects across various segments of the shipping industry.
Navigo is a Joint Stock Company with shares held by institutional as well as strategic shareholders and is managed in-house under the oversight of a shareholder appointed supervisory board.
The long-term objective is to build a mixed portfolio of vessels to be employed with end-user Customers, such as Energy providers, Liner Companies and Commodity trading houses, under long-term charter arrangements or alternative long-term fixed revenue schemes or risk management structures, tailor made to suit the business purposes of such customers,
Investment targets will derive from the bespoke evaluation and analysis of the specific need that the end-user customer may have, while care is taken that the necessary revenue and risk management elements to protect the investment long term are met.
With a changing regulatory environment within the corporate banking sector the dynamics of ship finance is changing too, opening opportunities for equity capital providers to partake directly in the long-term revenues that are derived from transporting goods and commodities across the globe.
