We have an excellent track record providing structured financing solutions to companies involved in transportation by sea.

The container industry is a global industry and our team consists of professionals with in-depth knowledge of intermodal equipment, such as container chassis. We focus on high-quality clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Our rail team has many years of experience providing big railroads, as well as small local short-lines in the US, with the required financing for rail equipment such as freight cars and locomotives. In Asia, we are looking to expand into other focus areas, such as passenger trains and light rail.
