Shipping

Shipping is the backbone of the global economy and international trade.

Shipping is among the most cost efficient ways of transport. It brings substantial benefits to consumers and contributes to the world’s economic growth.

In this context, the North Star Group through Niki Shipping Company SA, (“Company”) has been active in arranging long term vessel leasing to the world’s major liners with an emphasis on minimizing risks related to the residual value and operations since 1997.

The Company has a successful financial track record and proven expertise in sourcing, arranging and managing maritime assets through about $3.5 bn of sale and leaseback transactions.

The Company’s high-quality fleet provides a cost-effective alternative to direct vessel ownership for shipping liners, allowing them to free up capital and management resources for other strategic needs.
