Lending & Investing in U.S. Maritime Assets

The U.S. maritime industry offers significant opportunity for U.S. or foreign shipowners, lenders and investors. With massive coastlines on three sides and the largest inland water river system in the middle, the world’s largest economy has a dynamic maritime system that stretches from government cargo to national security, offshore wind to coastwise and river trade, offshore services to energy transportation. Today’s tidal wave of fiscal and monetary stimulus together with an emphasis on infrastructure development may further bolster demand for maritime services. 

But with unique and specialized laws on foreign equity ownership and vessel requirements, understanding and accessing this market takes commitment. Winston & Strawn Partner and Chair of Winston's Maritime Practice will join Kirk Phillips - President & Chief Executive Officer, Wintrust Commercial Finance and Matt McCleery - President, Marine Money for a conversation on both the nuances and broad strokes of the marketplace. This is a must-attend session for U.S. and foreign owners, lenders and investors and for those capital providers who are not currently operating in the space but who wish to learn more.
