Shipfunds
Investition in Ships and Vessels
Ship Funds belong in the category of alternative investments. Normally ship funds are designed as closed-end funds in the legal form of a limited partnership (KG). Therefore, it is also spoken of the so-called German KG market. In a ranking of closed-end funds on investment volume, the ship funds take the second place behind closed-end property funds.
In combination with the placement of ship funds the following statement from Erling Naess Dekker (1901-1993), a Norwegian ship owner, is frequently quoted:
"God must have been a ship owner: He placed the raw materials far away from the location where they are needed and covered two thirds of the earth with water."
Indirectly the Norwegian Ship owner thanked God for his success, because he made good money out of the transport by ship. You can also become a ship owner and will be able to participate in the success of shipping as institutional investors or private investor.
