A carefully planned and correctly implemented maritime investment strategy may reward investors with higher yields than other asset classes. “Maritime Investments offer inflation protection not available in conventional fixed income investments, and low correlations insulate maritime when contrasted with other income-generating strategies” (Source: Maritime Investing: An Income Opportunity, J.P. Morgan Asset Management). Investing in the right types of ships, taking advantage of the attractive entry point offered by historically low asset values, and applying a well-structured employment strategy including time and voyage charters has the potential for long term solid returns.
