Shipping
Networking regions, enabling globalisation
Given the family background of Nordcapital’s founder Erck Rickmers, it is no surprise that Shipping is by far the largest business division at Nordcapital. The focus is on container and dry bulk shipping as well as the offshore sector.
Globalisation and a growing world population require a global network of logistics systems and are fuelling ever-increasing demand for efficient means of transport. Within this global network, more than 98% of all goods are currently transported by sea. Consequently the shipping industry is closely interlinked with the development of world trade and the accelerating demand for raw materials from emerging countries.
To satisfy the world’s growing energy demand, a continuing expansion of oil and gas exploration is necessary. Increasing investment in exploration and production offshore – particularly in deep-water areas – is the main factor driving growing demand for highly specialised offshore support vessels.
Nordcapital Shipping is responsible for:
- project development
- structuring
- investment controlling and
- reporting
relating to all closed-end shipping funds initiated by Nordcapital.
Placed shipping funds
Between 1992 and the end of 2010, Nordcapital initiated a total of 99 closed-end shipping funds that own 122 vessels for private and institutional investors.
