Nippon Maritime Bank is
your closest assistant
for Japanese financing solutions.

About
Nippon Maritime Bank

NMB is a finance arranger specialized in Shipping with a wide presence in the Japanese market.

Our presence in addition to our Money Lending and Finance Instrument License allows us to offer you more creative and reliable finance schemes.

Service

Our services can be separated
into the three core categories of Money Lending, Financial Instruments and Shipbrokering.
Below is an elaborate explanation of each of our services.

Service 01Money Lending
Service

NMB provides direct loans to foreign shipping companies, not only for new acquisition purposes from the second-hand market but additionally for refinancing your existing fleet.

What we offer might seem similar to direct funding from banks, but our funding source is individual investor capital, rather than depositor capital. This allows us to execute loans with added value compared to conventional banks.

In addition, due to NMB’s great relationships with certain Japanese financial institutions, we can create further value to our service by forming syndicate loans with such financial institutions toward a larger project.

Service 02Financial
Instruments Service

The Japanese Operating Lease Call Option, known as “JOLCO” is already well-known and proven scheme among foreign shipping companies.

As a registered “Type II financial instrument business operator” in Japan, NMB can form JOLCO schemes by soliciting investment from domestic corporate investors.

Typically, JOLCO arrangers can only do projects that meet bank-like criteria, whereas NMB has wide group of shipping experienced staff, which allows us to tackle shipping-like projects that other arrangers would not attempt.

Service 03Ship broking

Japanese ship owners have a great relationship with local banks. The number of Sales & Lease back transactions that have been done indicate that the service provided by Japanese Shipowners is very attractive to foreign shipping companies.

NMB also provides a broking service to match you and Japanese ship owners. We believe our broking is unique in that we also offer assistance in-between ship owners and local banks.

Lastly the most notable part of NMB is that we not only offer these 3 services independently, but we can also combine them in one new product. A combination such as “Japanese Shipowners + NMB mezzanine finance + Local bank senior finance” among many other examples leaves room for infinite possibilities.

If you are interested in us, please contact one of your closest ship brokers to approach us, or contact us directly to be introduced to our panel brokers.
