Mobilizing Capital For A Sustainable Maritime Industry
Frachtcontor Capital was established in 2017 as the finance entity of the leading German shipbroker, Frachtcontor Junge & Co. GmbH founded in 1905. Today we have grown into a maritime deal originator and a trusted advisor to exclusive institutional investors and asset managers allocating capital for energy-efficient maritime projects.
‘Blue Marjan’ – one of 40 sustainable inland waterway barges from Concordia Damen
Frachtcontor Capital developed this innovative transaction in which Concordia Damen signed a contract with institutional investors to build 40 eco-friendly dual fuel inland waterway barges chartered by Shell and operated by the VT Group/Marlow.
Our Culture
We want to be the future leader in our field of business – providing shipowners and industrial end-users with expanded access to exclusive institutional investors looking to decarbonize shipping.
Our values guide our daily work and inspire us to stay true to who we are and who we want to be tomorrow.
Trust & Responsibility
We lead by example by striving for sustainability in all our actions, and we are committed to build long-lasting relationships based on trust, responsibility, and integrity.
Encouragement & Collaboration
We are encouraged to collaborate with our global network bringing all our financial resources, knowledge, and expertise into play. We strive to facilitate cross-sectorial and innovative multi-stakeholder partnerships, which will get us to where we need to be by 2030.
Sustainability is at the top of our agenda and fully integrated into our strategy, purpose, and culture. Our approach provides long-term sustainable value and has a positive impact on the green transition of the maritime industry, the society and people in countries where our projects are developed.
Our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and focus primarily on these six goals in our intent to help drive shipping’s decarbonization:
2023 IMO GHG Strategy
We are committed to support the revised IMO 2023 GHG Strategy which aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008, with a commitment to adopt alternative zero and near-zero GHG fuels by 2030 and indicative check-points for 2030 and 2040.
Origination
We understand the increasing challenges associated with financing the shipping industry’s green transition. With our team’s deep experience in shipping, banking, and finance, we know how to match lenders with potential maritime transactions, aiming to ultimately help bridge the industry’s long-term capital gap.
STRONG NETWORK
We build on the remarkable heritage of the Frachtcontor Group’s success and global presence within the maritime industry. The long legacy ensures extensive access to energy majors, commodity traders, and industrial end-users, which, together with the increasingly strong collaboration across the Group, creates maximum value for all.
INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS
We identify, develop, and execute maritime energy-efficient projects which reflect institutional investors’ lending practices.
We are the senior maritime advisors to MEAG, who are managing the assets of Munich Re and ERGO. MEAG is one of the world’s largest asset management companies with more than € 320 billion in assets under management. Our advisory role furthermore includes US Dollar Funding from select US Pension Funds.
We collaborate with the Swiss-based Blue Ocean Capital Ltd. and Solas Capital AG to develop the origination of sustainable transactions for European ports and the European port-related infrastructure.
SHIPOWNERS AND INDUSTRIAL END-USERS
We provide leading shipowners and industrial end-users with expanded access to long-term debt finance for next-generation new-builds and low-carbon vessels, enabling the decarbonization of fleets and port-related infrastructure.
