Marine money

Marine Money is a ship finance information business that publishes the Marine Money magazine and runs the Marine Money Week conferences, the main meeting points for shipping bankers, lessors, private equity, and listed owners. Founded in 1988 by Jim Lawrence, it tracks debt and equity deals, lease structures, and capital-markets activity across the sector and runs deal-of-the-year awards. Practitioners use it to follow KG and leasing trends, bond issuance, and the entry of Chinese leasing houses and alternative lenders. It is a reference point for benchmarking how vessels are financed.
