Global Ship Finance

Danish Ship Finance is one of the world's largest providers of ship financing. The company's vision is to be the most recognized and stable provider of financing for reputable ship owners.

Lending Policy

Financing provided by Danish Ship Finance is based on the value of the vessel (the mortgaged asset) and projections for a vessel's earnings potential. Financing will typically not exceed 70% of a vessel's market value. Financing is always provided against first priority mortgage in the vessel and assignment in respect of the vessel's insurances. The term of the loan, additional collateral and other loan terms are agreed on an individual basis.

Our Business model

Danish Ship Finance operates on the basis of a simple and effective business model that builds on statutory access to solely operate ship financing business.

Lending operations

Our primary target group is shipowners in Denmark. Outside Denmark, Danish Ship Finance is focused on large, recognised operators.

Insurance

Shipowners take out insurances for their vessels. The insurances cover a wide range of different perils which are relevant to the shipping industry and which reflect the areas navigated by the vessels.
