With vast experience RS Platou Finance has developed a large network. Our valuable contacts include shipbrokers, ship-owners, ship managers, bankers, lawyers and consultants. With competition from other financial schemes, like UK tax lease, German KG financing and large shipping funds, we have developed a scheme concentrating on purchase of vessels with charter back.

Our competitive advantage is the flexibility not found in other financial instruments. This includes the possibility to give optional charter periods, purchase options, a choice between time charter and bareboat charter, no limit to age or tonnage type and no limit to number of vessels included in one transaction.

This flexibility has become well known among ship-owners around the world in the last couple of years. Names like Golden Ocean, Maersk, Bergesen, Finnlines, DFDS, Swiber, and BLT have been involved in KS/DIS transactions.
