The proof
Real ships, real numbers

The asset class

A ship is a real asset that generates cash every day. Four reasons this asset class exists — and why it has stayed private for so long.

I

Real & tangible

Steel, not paper. You can board it, inspect it, use it.

II

A daily cash machine

Charter income is earned around the clock.

III

Private by nature

Ownership runs through your own company. Discreet, the way this industry has always worked.

IV

Open to any jurisdiction

International registries welcome owners from anywhere. No borders on who can own a ship.

What we do

Ways into shipping — sized to your capital. Each is a self-contained business of your own, operated by us.

Ways to enter shipping.

Rent a vessel — or own one.

ROI — annual target, per case
Own a vessel · from $15M + $3M operations

Rent a vessel — the detail

How the trading model works.

  • We charter ships in and fix them on cargo — the spread is the profit.
  • Capital turns per voyage. You see each voyage's numbers.
  • Works across dry bulk and tankers, market to market.
  • Exit: wind down positions, capital returned.

Own a vessel — the detail

How ownership works.

  • Find the ship → set up the company → buy → operate → sell.
  • Your company owns the vessel. Income lands in its accounts.
  • Yearly: income, running costs, net — reported to you.
  • Exit: the ship is sold. You keep the proceeds.

In both models the asset sits in a company of your own.
