Financial Analysis and the Modeling of Ship Investment

Lars Patterson

Chapter 14 in The International Handbook of Shipping Finance, 2016, pp 315-335 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Financial modeling of ship investments can quantify downside risk and upside potential before a decision to invest is made, and also be used as a tool to monitor risks and performance during the investment period. A good financial model is also an excellent tool for communicating opportunities or potential problems to management, lenders and investors. This allows for opportunities or potential problems to be identified early and plans for alternative actions to be prepared in advance. Meaningful financial analysis and modelling of ship investments can, therefore, contribute to better management of risks and hence better risk-adjusted returns.
