Leasing water vessels

The Siberian Leasing Company, LLC has a history of success in addition to the needed expertise to lease vessels for river and sea transportation.

Leasing ships is something relatively new in Russia.  Such transactions require significant financial resources.  The methodology of financing the acquisition of a vessel is in itself extremely complex.  This is why very few leasing companies can offer this service.  Only a handful of companies are experienced in leasing vessels for water transportation.

There are certain details that are very specific to the leasing of sea and river vessels, extending beyond the specifics of the shipbuilding industry and financing, which includes the legal framework under which the lease is arranged.

There are many aspects to that legal framework that can significantly affect the economic arguments of a lease-to-own transaction.  An informed approach about how to best comply with legal restrictions can bring advantages at tax time when leasing a ship, and also makes it possible to judiciously allocate the funds belonging to the lessee of the vessel.

SLC, LLC possesses the requisite financial base as well as extensive experience managing leasing transactions, and has solid partnerships with the manufacturers of many types of vessels. We are prepared to thoroughly investigate all the offers on the Russian market today to find the one that is the most cost-effective for our client and to provide full support for the transaction.

Given the unique nature and scope of financing leases for water vessels, all the terms of a contract are negotiated individually with each client.
