Being continuously at the forefront of knowledge regarding the most important fishing countries, their legislation and fishing grounds, and maintaining close contact with shipowners and industrial companies, enables us to identify opportunities of access to fishing grounds or even the possibility of establishing joint projects or Joint-Ventures between different companies.

One of the best-known alliances in the world of business is the so-called «Joint Venture». It consists of a medium-long-term association modality established by two or more companies based on a specific objective.

Choosing this type of strategy within the fishing activity offers certain advantages to all the companies involved:

• Diversification of risks.
• Share responsibilities.
• Share further resources.
• Opening new markets.
• Expansion of operations.
• Access to partners’ fishing resources/quotas

We regularly carry out technical reports and inspections intended primarily to evaluate the value of the main assets within the fishing company: vessels, shore facilities (cold stores and /or processing plants), fishing licenses and quotas.

These technical “due diligence” and assets’ valuations are a very important consulting activity and subsequently very useful for shipowners and maritime operators (internal analysis), and primarily for Investors (historical values of both assets and returns of the business), Insurances, Banks and Financial Institutions (updates of its guarantees; market analysis).

Our assessments are based within deep knowledge of each market segment, in terms of type and size of vessels, as well as fishing grounds and related fishing species. Our valuations are based on objective analysis and further the most adequate methodologies, always maintaining a position of absolute independence and integrity. Our valuations are made on a charter free basis where the vessel is maintained according to best practice and fulfilling with both flag and class requirements

At ALBINO MORAN SHIPBROKERS we maintain excellent relationships with most of the Banks and Leading Financial Institutions in the maritime-fishing sector, to whom we usually carry out valuation works and act as advisors in investment projects or acquisition of companies. We are therefore in a position to advise our clients in long-term financing projects or in developing financial solutions for the acquisition of business or newbuilding projects.
