Vessel Finance & Leasing Solutions

We strive to craft the correct financing solution to accommodate your needs. We understand that every situation is unique and we approach each client with this in mind.

Three Pathways to Vessel Finance


Sale Leaseback


Vessel operator companies needing additional capital—usually for the purchase of an additional vessel or other capital expenditure—can leverage their existing fleet of vessels to access this capital by selling qualifying vessels to Charter Marine International in exchange for leasing the same vessels.

This sources the needed capital for an affordable lease payment over a set period of 3–5 years.

Lease Purchase of Existing Vessel


Fleet operators who need an additional vessel for a contract can usually find a qualifying vessel on the used market and just need a financing solution for the upfront costs of the purchase. CMI is there to assist you with your purchase with an affordable lease.

Operators who are seeking a particular vessel and who are not successful in finding it can contact us for a referral to our excellent network of vessel brokers to assist with the search effort.

Lease Purchase of New Vessel


Members of the team at Charter Marine International have worked in management positions at shipyards and know intimately the steps around constructing a new vessel—from planning, keel laying, to launching and class certifications.

CMI will work with the shipyard and vessel operator company to provide the guarantees required for the shipyard to confidently proceed in completing the vessels required. CMI will then hold title to the vessels during the lease period ensuring that the loan used during construction is repaid over a set period.
