Our Managing Director, Atef Abou Merhi, attended a speaking event at Splash Maritime and Offshore News (splash247.com)’s Maritime CEO event in Monaco, this week. As part of the expert panel, "Where and how to access capital, and where best to spend it?", Atef shared his insights on today’s capital markets, whilst discussing how the significant challenges that the industry currently faces also presents substantial opportunities for investment. Ongoing geopolitical pressures, alongside the critical need to rapidly decarbonise are continuing to have a significant impact on maritime markets. However, by remaining agile to emerging market trends, Pelagic Partners is able to adapt to market volatility by investing in cutting-edge and future-proofed assets. Atef’s contributions highlighted our unique position in the market as diverse specialists – as fund managers as well as shipowners – who have deep-rooted industry expertise. This combination allows us to unlock value for investors while strategically aligning with the maritime sector’s long-term goals. #PelagicPartners #MaritimeCEO #Investing #ShipsandShipping

Last week, Pelagic Partners were pleased to announce the launch of our new venture, Pelagic Capital with the appointment of Tobias Backer as Executive Director.    Ahead of the announcement, Tobias sat down with Gary Dixon to discuss his recent transition to the Pelagic team and the strategic decision behind Pelagic Capital's entry into the market to meet the industry's growing capital demands.    He said: “Our goal is to establish Pelagic Partners as the premier source of capital for the maritime industry...despite the growing capital needs of the industry, it has not garnered sufficient attention from the broader capital markets.”    Tobias also highlighted the significance of establishing Pelagic Capital's headquarters in Mayfair, London, a key financial hub.    Through the launch of Pelagic Capital, Pelagic Partners continues to develop our reputation as diverse specialists within maritime investment.    Read more about Tobias’ interview, here (€): https://lnkd.in/eNA6gAPh    #PelagicPartners #PelagicCapital #Investment #Financing #ShipsandShipping
