By GlobalDataThe partnership intends to finance maritime energy transition projects and support the decarbonisation of the maritime industry.
DP Lease will provide long-term lease financing solutions to address the financing gap created by the additional capital expenditure needed for the acquisition of environmentally-advanced ships.
Damen Financial Services managing director Jan-Willem van Helden said: “DP Lease will help clients to renew their fleets by means of highly sustainable vessels and lease finance solutions.
“This will help them comply with forthcoming regulations as well as demands from end users, shareholders and other stakeholders, via investment in technologically-advanced low greenhouse gas emission marine vessels.”
