Alantra is pleased to announce that, for the second consecutive year, it has won the “Deal of the Year for Newbuild Finance - East” award by Marine Money, the leading evaluation platform for the global maritime finance industry and capital markets activity.   Our Maritime & Offshore team acted as the sole advisor and placement agent in what has been a milestone cross-border newbuild financing deal in the container space: securing a $130mn financing for the construction and delivery of four dual fuel ready methanol 3000 TEU feeder containerships being built in a Chinese yard.   The team successfully completed the transaction by capitalizing on its distinctive network of connections in the Middle East, leasing institutions in China, and the inherent newbuilding characteristics of the assets under construction in China.   Saad Ashraf and Georgios Giannakis, Managing Partners & Co-Heads of Maritime & Offshore and Middle East Investment Banking at Alantra, said: “We are proud of this achievement and extend our gratitude to all parties involved. We continue to build on our strong track record in Maritime & Offshore investment banking and capital markets. This transaction navigated a unique cross border situation across three highly active maritime regions - Europe, the Middle East, and China – which collaborated to finalize a significant financing agreement. This award showcases Alantra’s global reach and sector expertise to deliver cross-border solutions to our clients and investor base.”   #InvestmentBanking #MaritimeOffshore #MarineMoneyAwards
