Touchwind Financial Solutions advised on the acquisition of 3 sister vessels through Bremer Lloyd, Bremen.
Ship investments recently advised on by Touchwind (showing a +35% and +63% uplift)
November 14th, 2017
It is our pleasure to inform you about recent transactions in the shipping segment.
In February 2015 Touchwind Financial Solutions advised HS-Schiffahrt on the acquisition of 3 sister ships from HSH Bank in Hamburg.
The 3 vessels were put into service soon after that.
Two of those vessels have recently been sold again after approx 2.5 years of stable and reliable service under the management of HS-Schiffahrt.
The price of the sale realized a gain for the investors of approx 35% in the case of the first vessel and a gain of approx 63% in the case of the second vessel (after German Tonnage tax). The vessels are included in the Minibulker/Coaster shipping segment which is currently seeing hardly any new building orders. The overall fleet is aging without significant new tonnage volume on the horizon.
The sale prices that have been realized are also a result of the excellent ship management job done by HS–Schiffahrt.

June 23rd, 2016
We hereby give notice that Touchwind Financial Solutions has been sold to overseas investors as of May this year.
As a result of this, all of our structured finance servicing and administration operations as well as the Luxembourg based subsidiary have been transferred to the new owners. Consequently, we are now in a position to devote further resources to our main business of ship finance.
The Touchwind name will continue to exist, however. The core team will operate under the umbrella of Touchwind Financial Solutions UK Ltd., based in London, with a broad focus on structured finance and market entry consultancy as well as ship finance.
We have very deliberately situated our base in London – the centre of capital markets in Europe – to take into account the ever rising regulatory burden of doing business on the European mainland. All of our clients and business partners can rely on our continued support in terms of our corporate advisory and support services. We look forward to working together in the future.Touchwind Financial Solutions – UK / London
