While ships – such as container vessels, tankers or bulk carriers – are getting increasingly larger, Hannover Leasing continues to see the greatest potential in smaller, more flexible vessels that supply their giant counterparts or distribute goods around different areas of large ports. We place special emphasis on investing in above-average-quality assets that demonstrate exceptional fungibility in terms of charter renewals or asset disposal.
These include, for example, container ships between 1,700 and 4,000 TEU (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units). In the case of tankers, product carriers and bulk carriers, we also target smaller vessels up to Panamax class.
In the future, we plan to invest in niche shipping markets, particularly multipurpose and offshore vessels. Both these segments have performed quite stably in the past, and we expect their importance to grow. In additional to classic ship investments, we are also active in adjacent maritime industries, such as port infrastructure and containers.
Another focus of our investment activities is large plants. These include power-generating installations such as power plants and distribution grids, as well as installations for the conveyance, storage and distribution of raw materials such as petroleum and natural gas.
We are continuously in pursuit of interesting investment opportunities for our closed-end funds.
