Reflecting on another hugely successful Marine Money week, one of the most important dates in the New York maritime calendar, bringing together the global ship finance community including shipowners and operators, investors, banks, brokers and advisors.

Thanks to all the clients and friends who attended our reception at the iconic Pen Top rooftop. A great opportunity to reflect on the industry and build connections, old and new, in a beautiful setting.

Our New York Transportation and Corporate teams were excited to collect their Marine Money Jones Act/U.S. Flag Deal of the Year Award 2025, for their role advising Maritime Partners in its acquisition of Centerline Logistics.

Alice Colarossi also gave a presentation sharing our insights on the Jones Act waiver situation in the U.S.—one of the shipping finance hot topics featuring on the agenda at Marine Money.
