• What Shipping
Investors must know about shipping
• What ROCE should you expect from a listed shipping company?
• Has the market changed for ever - will they pay more than NAV
for shipping stock?
• Are there shipping companies big enough to be taken seriously
on the stock markets?
• If Oslo and Athens have the shipping interests and New York
has the money, where should you list a shipping company?
• Is there a growing appetite for listed shipping companies, and
what do investors actually hunger for?
• Consolidation vs. diversification
• Is there ever any correlation between opening of equity
windows and the shipping cycle?;
• What opens equity windows (further);
• What type of companies qualify for capital market related
transactions;
• Advantages and disadvantages of being public
• Attractiveness of debt related capital market products and how
they benefit shipowners;
• The role of private equity today and the current increase of
private equity funds;
• Is still attractive to invest in LNG?
