For Lenders & Credit Funds
You hold the loan. We give you an operator's read on the asset behind it.
Independent operational assessment, turnaround feasibility, and interim leadership for lenders and credit funds exposed to maritime, transport, and logistics assets.
Independent. Operator-led. US & Europe.
The decision
The financials tell you something is wrong. Not whether it can be fixed.
When a maritime credit wobbles, you need an operator's judgment on the asset, not another spreadsheet, to decide what to do next.
The read informs the decision
Support, restructure, or push?
When the read says
Support
The business is fixable and management can hold it. Keep backing it, against clear operational milestones.
When the read says
Restructure
Fixable, but not as it stands. Reset terms, leadership, or the plan, with an operator to steady it.
When the read says
Push
The operating case does not hold. Better to exit than to fund the gap. We will say so plainly.

Why us
Why not a bank, a consultant, or a data house
Not a bank
A bank is selling a transaction. We are not. Our read is independent of any deal.
Not a consultant
A consultant hands you a model. We give you an operator's judgment on whether it can be fixed.
Not a data house
A data house sells you the numbers. We tell you what they mean for the asset, and for your decision.
