Minato Management Co., Ltd. (Head Office: 1-1-12 Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tatsuhito Kuramoto) is pleased to announce the establishment of a new investment fund focused on ship assets.

Our History in Ship Fund Business
Since autumn 2016, our company has been engaged in managing investment funds targeting ships. In 2018, we formed a fund investing in LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) vessels operated by European companies.
Leveraging the experience and networks we have built, we have now planned and developed a new fund.
Starting with the formation of this fund, we will nurture the ship operating lease business as one of our core operations and actively promote the continuous creation of new funds and investment opportunities.

Overview of the New Fund

Investment Target: Bulk carrier ships operated by European companies

Investment Scheme: Sale and leaseback structure, utilizing leverage through financing from financial institutions

Management Method: Operated by distributing lease payments received from charterers as dividends

Ships are a vital infrastructure supporting global logistics, and we believe that investing in infrastructure closely tied to daily life carries significant social value.
This marks our first investment in a ship operating lease fund since 2018. Going forward, we plan to regularly form and underwrite ship operating lease funds.

Future Outlook
We aim to contribute to a sustainable society by promoting the planning, development, and investment in diverse businesses through our funds.
We will continue to offer attractive investment opportunities to our investors and contribute to the development of society as a whole.
