The involvement of Private Equity with shipping had a transformational impact. PE provided significant capital to the industry, and helped it to restructure and consolidate. The involvement of PE with shipping has diminished but it still maintains a strong presence. The panel will discuss what deals can currently attract PE investment and what is PE’s appetite and attitude for shipping today.MODERATOR: Mr. Larry Rutkowski, Partner – Seward & Kissel LLPPANELISTS:

The changing landscape of finance is enriched with several new platforms which are ready to provide debt financing to the shipping industry. Alternative Finance is becoming a bigger source of capital to the industry next to traditional banks, leasing houses and fixed income capital markets instruments. Furthermore, it is open not just to bigger companies but also to smaller and mid-sized owners, who represent a big portion of the industry.The session will also include a Live Deal Offering by Yield Street, whose FinTech Platform combines Capital Markets & Technology.
