Product Portfolio|Ship investments
    Ships do more than just transport goods. They connect people and markets around the world. And that is not all. Ships also generate high yields from which investors can benefit through an investment in one of MPC Capital's ship funds.

    A ship investment is an entrepreneurial investment in a shipping company and at the same time an investment in one of the world's most flexible assets. As co-owners of one or several ships, capital investors participate in the continuous growth of world trade.
     

    What are the most important criteria?

    		  
      Valuable, long-term first charter employment
      Experienced ship manager
      First-class charterer with good rating
      Conservative cost estimating
      Experienced issuing house with positive track record
      Low purchasing price of the ship
      Marketable ship design
    As an experienced issuing house, MPC Capital develops the overall concept of the ship fund and calculates the total costs of the investment. A sound investment requires conservative assessments and projections of charter rates, operating expenses, interest and foreign exchange rates as well as the proceeds on disposal.

    Selecting and bringing the right partners together is also very important for the long-term success of ship funds. These include, on the one hand, a shipyard with shipbuilding expertise which is responsible for the marketable design, high quality and technical reliability of the ships and, on the other hand, an experienced shipmanager which assumes the commercial as well as operative and financial management.

    The proceeds from a charter contract with a charterer of high credit standing ensure the repayment of debt and distribution of attractive dividends to investors. Due to the tonnage tax system recognised in many European countries, these dividends are almost tax-free. MPC Capital cooperates with the world's most renowned shipmanager, biggest shipyards and leading charterers.
