In 2006 RS Platou Finance opened its Asia office in Singapore in order to service the growing demand for new financial instruments in the regional shipping and offshore markets. Structured finance has increased in popularity as a form to finance fleet expansion and it was decided to open an office with views of expansion and being proximate to our Asia based clients.

Being local enables us to foster more intimate and timely relations with a growing Asia client base.  Asia based shipping and offshore companies are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional methods and sources of finance, for which RS Platou Finance Singapore is well placed to assist in tapping these alternative structures and resources.

Aside from servicing clients’ financial requirements, having an office based in Asia further enhances RS Platou Finance’s ability to further grow its breadth of financial sources even further.  

With the complimentary shipbroking services of RS Platou Asia we foresee many synergies in the growth and expansion of RS Platou Finance Singapore.
