MCL was established in 2003. The company’s main business lies in providing the conduit between real institutional capital (i.e. pension funds), which it then manages, and shipping market investment opportunities. Acting as a shipowner in the markets, MCL takes on the direct ownership and operation of assets, rather than being a passive participant. Investments are managed fully, including the technical and operational aspects carried out in-house. The team has both equity and debt experience and the firm’s range of investors is able to consider opportunities across the capital structure. There is a keen desire to find opportunities of scale and tenor, as the firm’s clients tend to be large pension funds.
MCL also providers advisory services, including M&A advisory. This is likely to be for shipping investors wishing to access the institutional capital market. It also provides strategic advisory work on the sector for clients for whom shipping is a subsidiary activity and where detailed industry knowledge may be lacking.
