Good freight, no cash.
Sound familiar?

Small shipping companies run complex financial operations — but rarely have the senior finance resource to match. The same problems come up again and again.

→

Cash is tight even when freight is good

OPEX in 30 days, freight receipts in 60. The timing gap kills working capital.

→

The bank asks and it takes weeks

Pulling together a financial package shouldn't be a crisis. But it usually is.

→

Nobody knows the real cost per vessel

OPEX is tracked. But the cash breakeven freight rate? Often a guess.

→

Drydock arrives without reserves

The biggest single expense — and the one least planned for in advance.

16 years inside shipping finance

I've spent my career inside ship-owning and ship-management structures — not advising from the outside. I know what a drydock budget should look like, how lenders think, and what it takes to make a small fleet's finances run properly.
