About This Webinar

MARE FORUM will host the 5th part of our successful series of digital Mare Forum round tables, where we explore different means of Ship Finance. Trends in (Alternative) Financing will be the central discussion theme.

Our panel, consisting of leading Capital Providers, Shipowners and Services Providers , will guide you through a web of questions about the trends and practices of (alternative) ship financing.

THE PANEL:
- Philipp Wuenschmann, Head of Shipping, BERENBERG
- Gust Biesbroeck, Partner, PROW CAPITAL
- Stefanos Fragos, Managing Director, BRAEMAR Corporate Finance Athens
- Michiel Steeman, Managing Partner, ZUYDERZEE CAPITAL
- Francesco Morici, Manager, NAVQUIM, SOGESTRAN GROUP
- Emma Collier, Global Partnerships Management, EVIDENT

- Katalin Dobránszky, Senior Director, Policy Analysis, Social Affairs and Finance at ECSA (European Community Shipowners' Associations)
- Michael de Visser, Managing Director, SEAHORSE Consulting & Invest [MODERATOR]

There are no dull company presentations or lengthy, predictable speeches at MARE FORUM conferences and online round table discussions. Instead, we foster an environment of dynamic and lively discussions where the panellists and audience participants engage in meaningful exchanges.

AGENDA:
- What will the future role of the European and global banks be in the industry (in the context of the increased role of alternative finance providers)
- What are the owner's requirements from the capital providers?
- What is the long/short-term impact of the current geopolitical situation on shipping and ship finance?
- How do shipping companies choose an appropriate lender?
- Are there any positive tailwinds in the financing space?
- What are the benefits of the features of Alternative Finance to the global shipping industry?
- Which shipowners are attractive to alternative ship finance capital providers?
- Will pension fund money flow into the international shipping debt markets, and what is required for this to happen?
- Will the maritime green trend accelerate if the role of alternative finance in shipping increases?
- Or does an increased role of alternative finance in shipping not impact the pace of the green trend?
- Will alternative finance focus more on new-build financing or second-hand?
- Lending has become highly diverse; what are the most common structures in alternative financing?
- How do alternative financiers navigate through the regulations, and how can they remain flexible?
- What are the uncertainties/concerns around alternative financing?
- To what extent do you think alternative financing is becoming mainstream?
- Is there competition between banks and alternative capital providers?
- How about technology? What do alternative finance and fintech mean for the shipping industry?
- What are the thoughts of alternative ship financiers on the EU taxonomy?
- More topics to be included

Rest assured, the Mare Forum Ship finance online roundtable will be an inspiring and enriching experience.‍
