Consultative Financial Services by Commercial Marine Finance Experts.

Professional representation by professionals.

What good is presenting a great financial package to the wrong lender? Not much. Why waste weeks, if not months of valuable time waiting for a decision by a financial institution that really doesn't understand either you, your business model or your market. Time and tides wait for no man, let alone an unfamiliar lender.

We know the who, what, when, where, and why of Commercial Marine Lending.

How many times have you had to educate your lender? Each time a new calling officer shows up at your conference table, do you have to repeat the process of showing him the ropes, explaining market drivers and describing equipment? Over the years it really gets old. At Marine-Finance.Com we get to know your business nearly as well as you do. Moreover, with our nationwide practice, we get to see all of the commercial marine market and all of its various segments. Dining or diving, building or buying, we know our stuff.

We can explain why the Great Lakes are navigable only part of the year, or that river levels rise and fall along the Mississippi. We know that seasonal demand for heating oil in New England sometimes gets so strong that there isn't enough equipment to satisfy demand. We know our Z-drives from our DP, OPA-90 from TWIC and STCW from Short Sea Shipping.
