MPC OSE Offshore, managed by MPC Capital, Secures Long-Term Financing for Newbuild Program

• Long-term financing secured for a fleet of Offshore Survey and Support Vessels (OSSVs) with deliveries scheduled for 2026-2027
• Strong banking and export credit support, including Ostfriesische Volksbank and Danish export credit agency EIFO
• Conservative leverage with 12-year tenor and competitive pricing, supporting stable cash flows over the vessels’ commercial lifecycle

Hamburg, 15 January 2026 – MPC OSE Offshore, a specialized investment platform for offshore service vessels founded and managed by MPC Capital, has secured long-term financing for a fleet of state-of-the-art Offshore Survey and Support Vessels (OSSVs). The MPC OSE Offshore platform is backed by Eurazeo as lead investor. The vessels are currently under construction, with deliveries scheduled for 2026–2027.

The financing is based on a conservative capital structure with approximately 50% leverage per vessel. It consists of a combination of pre-delivery financing and a first-priority ship mortgage loan, secured across the OSSV fleet, providing a solid funding framework throughout construction and into the operational phase.

Strong Banking Partnership and Cooperative Consortium

The transaction was executed in close cooperation with Ostfriesische Volksbank, acting as lender, with additional participation from a German cooperative banking consortium, further strengthening MPC Capital’s established relationships within the European banking market.

Credit quality of the financing is materially enhanced through a credit guarantee provided by the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO). The guarantee reflects the strategic relevance of the vessels’ Danish construction and their export nature, while enabling attractive financing terms.

The facility features competitive pricing and a long-term tenor of 12 years, ensuring stable funding over the commercial lifecycle of the vessels and supporting predictable cash flow generation.

“This financing represents another important milestone for our offshore investment strategy” said Felix Nölke, Managing Director for Maritime Investments at MPC Capital and MPC OSE Offshore. “The conservative leverage profile, long-term tenor and support from Danish EIFO provide a resilient financial foundation for the OSSV fleet and underline the attractiveness of the platform for long-term investors.”

“We are pleased to support MPC Capital and MPC OSE Offshore with this financing” said Guido Mülder, Board Member at Ostfriesische Volksbank. “The transaction combines a well-structured credit profile, high-quality assets and an experienced sponsor. The involvement of EIFO further strengthens the risk framework and reflects the strategic relevance of the project.”

“EIFO’s participation highlights the importance of Danish shipbuilding and maritime exports in the offshore segment” said Jens Hestbech, Director Large Corporates at Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO). “By providing a credit guarantee for this project, we support the international competitiveness of Danish yards while contributing to a sound risk-sharing framework for long-term industrial investments.”

With this transaction, MPC Capital reinforces its role as an experienced investment and asset manager, delivering tailor-made capital solutions for sophisticated maritime and energy assets while maintaining a disciplined risk and capital management approach.

Founded against the backdrop of growing demand for special-purpose vessels 

“MPC OSE Offshore” was initiated in late 2024 by MPC Capital and offshore service specialist O.S. Energy to develop, build and manage offshore service vessels, with Eurazeo as the venture’s lead investor. The technical specifications of the vessels make them suitable for a wide range of applications throughout the lifecycle of offshore wind farms as well as other offshore employment cases. The vessels will be equipped with highly efficient propulsion technology enabling low-carbon operation and ensuring the highest ESG standards.
